Gaming giants behind consoles are still unsure whether letting players mingle outside their siloed multiplayer networks is a good thing. But, Rocket League broke ground enabling inter-platform play on current-gen consoles last month, so CCP is exploring very new territory. While Oculus Rift and HTC Vive are both PC platforms, expanding play between PC and PlayStation sets a precedent.



Piling on the goodwill is the announcement of EVE: Valkyrie's first free content expansion, an objective-based arena mode called Carrier Assault. Gameplay is short and sweet: Launch fighters, whittle down the enemy carrier while protecting yours, make a Death Star trench run to sink their ship, repeat.
