Cross Play and Cross Progression

Just a fun idea to entertain.

Smite, a free 3rd person MOBA has just announced Cross Play and Cross Progression between the following platforms:

Xbox One

Switch

PC

Mac

I'm hoping this shines a more clear path for Cross Play for Dead by Daylight once the optimization patch arrives, and the platforms are on a much more even playing field.

While they're may be some arguable advantages past FPS, however compared to other titles it will be minimal. And if that's not enough, similar to other titles with Cross Play, the feature would optional as is the current standard.

Regardless, a combined player pool will help the quality and speed of matchmaking positively, after initial bugs are addressed. Additionally, if Sony's current "Beta" with Cross Play goes well (i.e. Fortnite), then PlayStation players would benefit from this as well.

  • Fun Fact: the Switch version is slated to have 60 FPS

    So a MOBA with dozens of AI, 10 players, and has numerous abilities firing all around the map simultaneously: can run at 60 FPS on the Switch.

    Then surely, 60 FPS for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 is a reasonable feat. With the X and Pro being capable of much more.
