Tekken 8 Will Have Reportedly Have Crossplay and Rollback Netcode

Abdul Saad

According to Tekken 8 director Katsuhiro Harada, the upcoming game will have Crossplay and already has rollback netcode. This is in response to a Twitter comment to which he responded: “Crossplay? Of course, I will.” Harada also claimed that he tried to include crossplay for Xbox One and PS4 titles but plans fell through as the platforms “were at odds with each other over their mutual interests (and P2P security issue)” he also claimed that “they didn’t actively support third parties at the time, and the hurdles were actually quite high. There are still some problems left, but it will be possible.” Tekken 8 will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam. A release date has yet to be announced.

Crossplay? Of course I will.
BTW
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. https://t.co/I8b38YfePh

already installed it, and it already has what you want. The reason WHY we don't make big announcements like cross-play is Cuz even if we make big announcements, people like you will only say things like, "waaaa! That's normal in this day and age."
So shut up & sit the hell down. https://t.co/ZA1ZKMV9gC
