There’s been plenty of PS4 news this week, courtesy of E3 2018 and the Sony conference.

But something that has proved controversial is connected to the release of Fortnite on Nintendo Switch.

Having gone live earlier this week, it was revealed that the game will not include crossplay with the PS4.

Even worse, fans who have linked their Epic Account with a PSN account have found themselves unable to use the same account on the Switch console.

This have left many Fortnite Battle Royale frustrated at the lack of connectivity seen on other platforms.

Sony have defended their position by pointing out that PS4 fans can still connect with PC, Mac and iOS gamers.

A spokeswoman for Sony said: “We're always open to hearing what the PlayStation community is interested in to enhance their gaming experience. With... more than 80 million monthly active users on PlayStation Network, we've built a huge community of gamers who can play together on Fortnite and all online titles.

"We also offer Fortnite crossplay support with PC, Mac, iOS, and Android devices, expanding the opportunity for Fortnite fans on PS4 to play with even more gamers on other platforms. We have nothing further to add beyond this at this point."
