Console players not being able to crossplay with PC players. Does that mean console players can&#39;t use dedicated servers? I believe so. Let me ask Guru right now. In fact, consoles dedicated servers. Yes. No. Nope. That is very true. they are not going to be able to use dead servers. Uh, which also should probably touch on that as well. Um, I know for a fact that the delivery of the news that console players and PC players not being able to crossplay, those news kind of came as a dead pan delivery in the final stretch of yesterday week, last week&#39;s launch stream. Uh it was kind of brushed off by me as a an almost off-hand comment because, we have been on record saying before that that&#39;s not the case but absolutely I could have accounted for the fact that we would have had many new viewers, which to them it would have been like it would have been news so probably could have taken a bit more like care and attention to announcing that indeed, PC players and console players will not be able to crossplay with each other. You can crossplay between Xbox and PlayStation, but not between consoles and PC. Uh, so sorry for that kind of sterile and, like fast delivery last week, but I just did not actually, you know, think twice about, oh yeah, right, we might have a lot of new people here who hear about these news. So, sorry about that.
