While it would be nice for Overwatch to feature PC users in the possibility of cross-platform play, there will undoubtedly be some balance and competitive issues stemming from the differences between controllers and a mouse/keyboard combination, a fact that Blizzard used to address a fan's follow-up question of whether PlayStation 4 players could play with PC players at some point. Interestingly, Blizzard's tweet only mentions the possibility cross-platform play for consoles and there was no talk for PC users. When asked by a Twitter user whether Overwatch will ever feature cross-platform play, the Overwatch account replied that while there is currently no such feature just yet, Blizzard will "keep an eye on cross-platform possibilities on the consoles". But based on a couple of new tweets from the official OverwatchTwitter account, cross-platform play may still be on the cards. Though it doesn't detract from the experience, one notable issue that's been brought up by fans is the lack of cross-platform play, and Blizzard has been curiously tight-lipped on the matter. Not only was the title praised by critics, it was also very positively received by fans, so much so that the game had over 7 million players in just its first week on sale.
It's been a few weeks since the release of Overwatch, Blizzard's first new IP in 17 years, and the game has been nothing short of a massive success. After queries about cross-platform play for its new and mega-popular game Overwatch, Blizzard confirms that the company is considering cross-platform possibilities for consoles.
