Fortnite is Getting Xbox One Cross-Platform Support Soon
News comes from Epic Games development blog, where they revealed the added benefits to Fortnite players. Not only will the battle royale game support cross-platform play, but those already invested in the ecosystem can share progression and purchases across PC, Mac, iOS, and (eventually) Android.
Like all forms of cross-play, the feature is opt-in. In other words, don’t expect to automatically begin playing with the best and brightest on PC and iOS, but head into the settings if you are interested.
While Xbox One cross-platform play is undoubtedly big news, it is far from the biggest news coming to Fortnite. Earlier this week it was revealed that the game would be coming to both iOS and Andorid mobile devices, somehow. Not only that but a new 20 person team mode will be opening up for a limited time.
Fortnite has been boasting unprecedented success lately, even in the face of the behemoth it is based on: PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. As of earlier this week, Fortnite is now the most watched game on streaming service Twitch. On top of that, the battle royale game melted servers a month ago, boasting 3.4 million concurrent players across all systems.
Fortnite is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with iOS and Android coming in the near future.

Xbox and PlayStation will never do it. Mainly because it'll get to the point where both consoles will just be one. Not to mention ps being stubborn af.

Epcot I just want to play with my PlayStation friends. I'm on Xbox and I can't play with them. :(
I would love to do the same, hopefully Sony can actually get in on this and allow it already.

Cent Pretty neat, as long as they have an on/off switch for this I would be perfectly fine with it.
All games with this have the option. That was said right from the very start. this is cool tho will be looking forward to see how it is.

PS4 has the option to disable and enable cross-play I'm sure they'll also put this onto the xbox one so if you don't want to play /w PC players you have the option not to. :)
