Update: CROSSPLAY CONFIRMED

First Minecraft and now this. Sanity in the industry is on the rise.

 

[Dunkley]

Cross-Plat with Xbox and Steam confirmed:

"You asked, and we listened! As we just revealed during the Nintendo Spotlight: E3 2017 Direct video, Rocket League is indeed coming to Nintendo Switch later this year!

Rocket League on Nintendo Switch will have all of the same content, features, and updates that we’ve released on other platforms in addition to exclusive Battle-Cars and Customization Items, like Mario and Luigi hat Toppers!

Rocket League will also support all of Nintendo Switch’s play modes, including TV Mode (docked), Tabletop Mode, Handheld Mode, and both Online and Local Multiplayer. Online Multiplayer supports up to eight players, and Cross-Network play will be supported as well, allowing Switch players to hit the field with players on Steam and Xbox One."

Huh, I admit I kinda expected Switch to be kinda like the Steam version where it can crossplay with anything including PS4.

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

Crossplay and local make this the definitive physical version, holy shit.

EDIT: LOL Sony, wtf are you doing

[Tunavi]

Fucking hell yes!!!

 

[mugurumakensei]

Fuck yeah!!! Cross play with PS4/PC please

Not with PS4. Sony won't allow it.

 

[Wandering Robot]

Cross-play too? Beautiful. It might be time for me to finally give Rocket League a spin.

 

[Dunlop]

I'm almost happy Sony are being douches about cross play. My son plays this game obsessively with his friends and would be driving me nuts to get a switch.

This seems to be a huge deal, happy for the devs as they seem to put a lot of work into this game.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Huh, I admit I kinda expected Switch to be kinda like the Steam version where it can crossplay with anything including PS4.

Sony blocked that from happening so I guess they did the best they could by allowing at least XB/PC/Switch players to play together freely.

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

Thank you Sony for protecting me of playing RL with filthy Switch owners.

 

[AngelHime]

awesome news

 

[Castro27]

Quite surprised with nintendo. A month ago we had no idea of the switch's online infrestructure and now there are crossplay titles. Didn't see that coming.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

Sony. So scared and reserved. Shame.

 

[MutFox]

Title needs CROSSPLAY! XD

 

[jon bones]

NICE!

CROSS PLAY!

 

[Neoxon]

Sweet, XB1 & Steam cross-play for the Switch.

 

[noshten]

Wow on its first year and the mp and local mp is killing it.

Splatoon 2
Arms
Rocket League
Mario Kart
FIFA
NBA 2K

Yes in terms of securing big multiplayer IPs for the launch Nintendo has done their job. Getting Minecraft early is also very big.

Going to double dip on this

 

[Spades]

Online Multiplayer supports up to eight players, and Cross-Network play will be supported as well, allowing Switch players to hit the field with players on Steam and Xbox One.

 

[BraXzy]

I can't even tell you how fast I'm double-dipping on this. Can't wait to play with my Steam friends from my bed.

Triple dip B O Y Z.

Cross play with Steam and Xbox? Did the previous versions allow for this? I don't recall being able to play with Xbox owners while on PC.

 

[Foxy the Fox]

Is it crazy to ask if is going to have 4 player split screen? D:

 

[Elixist]

Cross play with Steam and Xbox? Did the previous versions allow for this? I don't recall being able to play with Xbox owners while on PC.

yep ps4 and pc, and xb1 and pc. psyonix wanted to bring everyone together, but sony's bein a lil bitch

 

[Dunkley]

Sony blocked that from happening so I guess they did the best they could by allowing at least XB/PC/Switch players to play together freely.

I mean even though it could be in-line with the Minecraft stuff and I would understand if that's how things are, perhaps they couldn't get the greenlight for that in time for the announcement?

I mean idk Sony has been fine allowing crossplay with Nintendo before so it kinda surprises me, but yeah, if this is how things are gonna be at least that does disprove the theory that Sony refused on the Minecraft stuff because it was Microsoft offering.

 

[sangreal]

Cross play with Steam and Xbox? Did the previous versions allow for this? I don't recall being able to play with Xbox owners while on PC.

ps4 and xbox versions both have crossplay with steam but not each other. Psyonix has said before they have done the work to enable xbox/ps4 crossplay but Sony hasn't allowed it

 

[Oersted]

Thanks Pachter

 

[sonto340]

Gonna be fun to reread the minecraft crossplay threads.

 

[Ran rp]

So does the Mario hat appear on other platforms online?

 

[Dunkley]

So does the Mario hat appear on other platforms online?

IIRC version exclusive skins just show as the default car for other platforms.

 

[arimanius]

With this and the minecraft announcement I loving my switch even more! Day fucking 1.

 

[Spauldingxx]

PSN isn't stable enough to allow cross play.

 

[FX-GMC]

Cross play with who?

Right now just PS4-PC can do it right?

XBO-PC and PS4-PC

 

[2+2=5]

I have always said that it was possible on Switch.

 

[Brofield]

I hope this means we can have four players on one switch going online together against another team of four

 

[Marvie_3]

Triple dipping for this. Cant wait to see all the Nintendo DLC. I skipped the DLC for the other consoles but if I can get some Mario Kart cars or whatever, I'll buy the shit out of them.

 

[Niks]

Perfect game for switch.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Will there be a physical release on Switch?

 

[Bit-Bit]

I cannot wait! Been playing on PC alone for so long. Now I can get all my Switch owning friends to play with me.

 

[Raide]

Welcome aboard Switch Peeps! Perfect game for crossplay.

 

[Xater]

If it's 60 fps and still looks decent I'll bite. The cross platform play and portable options are nice incentives.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

I'm a Sony fanboy but I cannot defend this shit. Wtf Sony

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

This and Metroid Prime 4 prove the existence of god.

 

[Pinky]

This and Metroid Prime 4 prove the existence of god.

[night814]

But Nintendo has no online right?

This could easily be the switches next MUST have title, with crossplay there's already a huge online scene.
