Street Fighter V to Include Cross-Play

by on December 7, 2014
 

Alongside the official unveiling of Street Fighter V, Capcom have confirmed that online play will mix PS4 and PC players together.

Street Fighter V was leaked yesterday, but Capcom had this one surprise left for the full unveiling.

Cross platform play is not a common feature of games, but it’s possible that this new iteration of Street Fighter may be using Steamworks on Playstation as Portal did before it, as this would make cross play between the game’s two releases, Playstation and PC, all the easier.

Cross play makes sense for a fighting game, where the control option of choice is available on both systems. Most previous attempts at cross platform multiplayer have been shooters, which favour PC players.

Capcom also revealed that the first full match of Street Fighter V will be shown next weekend, on December 13th, on tha Capcom Cup website.

If writing ability was a flavour, I would be the warming embrace of apple and cinnamon - wonderfully familiar and pleasantly spiced. Ever the optimist, I spend most of my game time diligently failing at fighting games (BlazBlue and Persona 4 Arena being the preferred titles), Monster Hunter and Dark Souls. As you can surely ascertain from such preferences I'm a gamer at my most content when a title is punishing me, abusing my feeble abilities and forcing me to improve myself in order to overcome life affirming challenges. Feel free to question my opinions and such on Twitter, @Dalagonash, or find me on every gaming network available as Dalagonash.
