Selvom Sony langt om længe officielt åbnede op for crossplay sidste år, så blev det på forsigtig vis via en beta i Fortnite, og sidenhen har flere udviklere faktisk klaget over, at de direkte er blevet ignoreret idet de har bedt om samme mulighed fra Sony. Derfor er der mange der nu mener at Sony kun åbnede op på overfladisk vis - det benægter PlayStation-chefen dog.
I et interview med Game Informer fortæller Shawn Layden at de faktisk er åbne omkring crossplay. Han siger faktisk at alle der beder om lov, får lov.
"We got to that place in Fortnite and it seems to be going reasonably well, from what I can tell. The Rocket League light up will happen soon. People keep saying, "Why doesn't Sony allow more people to have it?" We're open for business on this one. All it takes is for publishers and developers who wish to permission it. As ever, just work with your PlayStation account manager, and they will walk you through the steps that we've learned through our partnership with Epic on how this works. I don't believe right now there is any gating factor on that. I think they're open to make proposals, because the Fortnite thing worked pretty well."
Sådan forholder det sig dog ikke hvis man spørger Gaijin, der påstår at have spurgt efter crossplay i War Thunder flere gange, men er blevet ignoreret.
