Tekken 8 is getting crossplay – something Harada has wanted for years
The game director for Tekken 8 has announced on Twitter that the upcoming Bandai Namco fighting game will have crossplay, something he claims to have wanted since the launch of the PS4 and Xbox One.
According to Harada: “At that time, they [Sony and Microsoft] were at odds with each other over their mutual interests (and P2P security issue) & repeatedly refused.” These days though, with crossplay being more accepted between competing consoles, it seems it’ll finally happen.
Harada has a long lasting history of interacting with the online Tekken community on Twitter, offering information to eager fans, rewtweeting fan art, and famously telling more obnoxious personalities not to ask him for shit. They even made a shirt!
Tekken 8 is getting crossplay, and a beta at some point
Tekken 8 director Katsuhiro Harada has confirmed that the upcoming fighting game will feature crossplay.
These days, the two big things you’ll find players asking for is rollback netcode (a technique that makes playing online much smoother than it normally would be), and crossplay, so they can easily play with their friends no matter what platform they’re on. So if you’re a Tekken fan who’s looking forward to the eighth instalment, but you play on PlayStation and your friend plays on Xbox, there’s some good news: Tekken 8 will have crossplay.
Harada confirmed that himself when asked by a fan about it on Twitter, writing, “Crossplay? Of course I will.” Interestingly, he also noted that he tried to get crossplay for Tekken 7 on the previous generation of consoles, but couldn’t because of problems between the two big platforms (PlayStation and Xbox). “When the previous generation consoles were released, I had already proposed crossplay between the two platformers. However, at that time, they were at odds with each other over their mutual interests (and P2P security issue) & repeatedly refused.”

Sons of the Forest crossplay guide
Is Sons of the Forest crossplay compatible? If you’re excited to play The Forest 2 multiplayer following the success of the prequel’s own co-op mode, the answer may disappoint you for now. That’s not to say it’ll stay that way though, since the game is initially launching in early access, with more features and mechanics to be added in the future.
Sons of the Forest multiplayer is available in the horror game, and you can play with up to seven friends – or strangers – by hosting or joining a server. However, what about if your friends aren’t on PC, and want to play Sons of the Forest on PlayStation or Xbox consoles? Well, then you need Sons of the Forest crossplay.

Saints Row 4 is free on the Epic Games Store next week, just in time for its crossplay update
Saints Row 4 is the next free title on the Epic Games Store, coming next week just as the PC version gets a big update.
Earlier this week, a post was shared on Saints Row 4’s Steam page announcing that all copies of the game will be upgraded to the Re-Elected edition, which includes the Game of The Century Edition, and a whole heap of DLC packs too. This update is planned to release on December 8, which also happens to be the day that Saints Row 4: Re-Elected will be coming to the Epic Games Store.
It should be noted that all of the DLC packs previously available on Steam will be delisted, so will no longer be able to be purchased individually. But they are all included in the Re-Elected version, so it doesn’t appear to be a huge issue. Deep Silver also noted that you don’t need to worry about your saves and achievements either, as they’ll be moved over to the new version.
Is Darktide crossplay available?
If you’re wondering if Darktide crossplay is available in the game, we’ve got all the information you need to know on that and cross-platform play. Crossplay allows you to play with friends on other platforms, so if you are looking forward to playing the Microsoft exclusive game with friends on Xbox consoles, you’ll need crossplay.
Unfortunately, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide will not have crossplay on launch, but that’s because come the Darktide release date, the co-op game will only be available on PC. The whole game was delayed from September, with the console release still not known, which also means any date for Darktide crossplay or cross-save also remains to be seen.
