"Cross-network play has been the number-one most requested feature our community has asked for since Rocket League was first announced on Xbox One, and now that we are able to pursue complete online unity on all platforms, today's announcement is a dream come true," Psyonix's Jeremy Dunham said in a blog post today.

Chris Charla, director of Microsoft's Independent Developers for Xbox program, also noted that gamers will have the option to only play against other Xbox Live players, if they wish. And he also says the "invitation is open" for other networks to participate. All eyes will be on Sony to see how it responds at GDC this week.
