“In other related news, cross-platform play between the PS4 and Xbox One is believed to become a reality soon enough, and the big question that remains is when rather than if at this point. This news is also coming in fairly hot on the heels of when cross-network support rolled out for the Xbox One and PC received.
On an interesting note, Blizzard recently launched Lucioball for Overwatch in honor of the 2016 Olympics, and it’s pretty much like Rocket League, where players are tasked with scoring points by getting a soccer ball through their opponents’ goal.”
