## [](#sony-cross-play)Sony Cross-Play

Sony has turned its position in terms of cross-play by 180 degrees, and says through a press release that it will soon be possible to play certain titles with players on competing consoles.

> For 24 years we strive to provide the best game experiences to our fans through a unique PlayStation perspective. Today, the communities around certain games have evolved to a point where cross-platform experiences add significant value to players.

This is reported by **John Kodera**, the Global CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment on the official PlayStation blog. The first step here is an open beta with Fortnite. Other third party titles will follow later.

## [](#fortnite-only)Fortnite only?

It is now possible to play via your PlayStation 4 Fortnite account on the Nintendo Switch. All your progress achieved will be retained.

If you have already created a second account: Epic Games is in the process of combining Battle Royale purchases and having Fornite linked to another console.

Fortnite is currently the only cross-play title on the PlayStation 4. Earlier, Sony took a very defensive stance on this phenomenon.

Do you hope that this feature will find its way to other games as well?
