Cross-play er meget op i tiden disse dage. Det er kun muligt, hvis alle partnerne er med på ideen, hvilket vi har set den seneste periode, da det har været muligt at spille på tværs af PC, Switch, Xbox og selv mobilen.
I en Q&A med deres shareholders, blev Nintendo spurgt ind til deres forhold til "other publishers, and initiatives for multi-platform titles" fordi "games such as Fortnite and Minecraft has been a point of appeal". Til det svarede Nintendo:
"I will have to refrain from commenting directly about (crossplay in) Fortnite and Minecraft because those are not Nintendo titles. But I will say that our fundamental way of thinking about offering Nintendo titles on other platforms remains unchanged," udtalte den forrige CEO Tatsumi Kimishima.
Senior executive officer Susumu Tanaka tilføjede: "Crossplay basically comes about from conversations between publishers and platform holders. We are inclined to do what we can to help publishers incorporate crossplay when that is what they want. The other parties involved also have a say in whether we are able to reach this outcome or not, so we will continue to discuss it with them."
