Tekken 8 is getting crossplay, and a beta at some point

[ad_1]

Tekken 8 director Katsuhiro Harada has confirmed that the upcoming fighting game will feature crossplay.

These days, the two big things you’ll find players asking for is rollback netcode (a technique that makes playing online much smoother than it normally would be), and crossplay, so they can easily play with their friends no matter what platform they’re on. So if you’re a Tekken fan who’s looking forward to the eighth instalment, but you play on PlayStation and your friend plays on Xbox, there’s some good news: Tekken 8 will have crossplay.

Harada confirmed that himself when asked by a fan about it on Twitter, writing, “Crossplay? Of course I will.” Interestingly, he also noted that he tried to get crossplay for Tekken 7 on the previous generation of consoles, but couldn’t because of problems between the two big platforms (PlayStation and Xbox). “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.”
