Fallout 76 won't feature cross-play because of Sony, Todd Howard confirmed.In an interview with GameStar , Howard was asked why the upcoming online Fallout title won't feature cross-platform play, and it's because Sony is "not as helpful as everyone would like.""We would love to have that, but currently this isn't possible," Howard said.Currently, cross-play between PS4 and other consoles, most notably Switch and Xbox One, isn't possible. If you had created your Epic Games account on PS4 to play Fortnite, the account can't be used on other consoles. Sony executive Shawn Layden revealed the company is "looking at a lot of the possibilities" to address the issue and is confident it'll reach a "solution which will be understood and accepted by our gaming community."Meanwhile, former Sony Online Entertainment head John Smedley recently said Sony won't allow cross-play because it doesn't like the idea of a customer buying "something on an Xbox and it being used on a PlayStation."Fallout 76 will be released on November 14 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
