From VG247's interview with the executive producer of Battlegrounds
With console development now underway, do you see a future where cross-platform play is on the table for Battlegrounds?
Cross network play between the PC and the console is definitely something we want to do down the road, and we dont anticipate well have any technical issues with that.
But when you consider the competitive side of the game, I do feel that theres a balance issue between controllers and keyboard and mouse. Thats whats making it difficult for us to do right away. If were going to allow players to use controllers we need to have the aim assist added in and things like that. Were not going to be supporting it right away, but its something wed like to look into later.
