"At the end of the day, this is for the players, isn't it?"

ID@Xbox Europe boss Agostino Simonetta [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/166838-Microsoft-Cross-Platform-Could-Link-PS4-and-Xbox-One] said that Microsoft is ready to move forward for "whoever wants to get on board." Meanwhile, Sony has not yet officially accepted the offer, saying only "We would be happy to have the conversation with any publishers or developers who are interested in cross platform play," but that there are technical and business issues to consider.

a standalone Gwent game [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/167368-CD-Project-Red-Supports-Cross-Platform-Play], it appears Iwinski's interest is in Gwent being playable for players across different platforms. All he needs is the greenlight from Sony.

"We are keeping our fingers crossed for Rocket League paving the way," Iwinski said [http://uk.ign.com/articles/2016/07/21/witcher-dev-awould-lovea-ps4-xbox-one-cross-network-play-for-gwent] to IGN. "We do have a technical solution in place for PS4 and would love to add Sony's platform to cross-play at the start of open beta. All we need is a green light from Sony.

"At the end of the day, this is for the players, isn't it?" Iwinski said.

Meanwhile, Rocket League developer Psyonix told IGN that it could enable cross-network play "in a few hours," once the thumbs up is given from Sony.

Any word on when the game beta itself is coming out?

Cross play is awesome and everything but I want to see what we'll be cross-playing with first.
While Gwent is a fun game, I'm wondering how whatever changes they made to the format will affect it.
Besides, wouldn't want to make sure the netcode on the game's end was up to par first?

Sony are known for their proprietaryness. Getting the PS4 to communicate with the Xbone must be difficult for them.
