Fallout 76: Bethesda would really like to make the cross platform game

At E3 2018 Bethesda revealed that Fallout 76 would be heavily focused on multiplayer with walls that go down between consoles for multiplayer games, many are wondering if Fallout 76 will feature the game.

According to Todd Howard of Bethesda Game Studios, They would really love to do it. You can probably guess who is on the way. Sony seems once again to be the only obstacle between you and the multiplatform game in Fallout 76, as well as other games.

Howard says to Gamestar: "We would really like this, but now we can not," When asked to play Cross Platform in Fallout 76, Sony is not as useful as everyone wants ", says the developer of Fallout.

During the E3 2018, Sony got a bad press when Epic Games released Fortnite: Battle Royale .. The problem was magnified by the fact that the players could not even not connect to Fortnite on the Switch if they had previously used their profile on the PlayStation 4. The situation has magnified what we already knew – Sony is incredibly proactive in making the PlayStation Network a walled garden.

With the players of the biggest games of last year asking for cross-play in groups like Rocket League, Minecraft and Fortnite – Sony has not moved by opening the doors of the PlayStation Kingdom.It is in despite the pressure of the competitor Microsoft and Nintendo have been promoting multi-platform games in recent weeks for Minecraft with a "Better Together" marketing campaign that encourages Minecraft players to play together on five different platforms including Xbox, Windows, Mobile, VR and Switch.

So, why does not Sony want PlayStation players to mix with the owners of Switch and Xbox? While they said that the reason is to protect the PlayStation fan base, apparently the real reason is money according to Jon Smedley, a former employee of SOE.

Howard's comments do not entirely exclude the the possibility of a future where players play Fallout 76 on Xbox, PC and PlayStation platforms, but it seems like everyone (developers and gamers ) wait until Sony gives the green light.
