To support @Masquerade's argument a little further:

EPIC Games does have it's own account service and -is- making use of that in games as Paragon and Fortnite to let people cross-buy and play with friends independent of their platform (namely PC and PS4).
Meaning: I bought Fortnite and I can (and -do-) use that copy on both systems.
I also have friends on the EPIC platform that I was teaming up with on PS4 and PC with ease.

My point is:
It is possible and studios are doing it but it also is a service that takes a long term commitment and maintenance that many smaller studios can't and / or shouldn't spend their resources on.

MercurySteam may or may not have their reasons to not having set up such service and it's important to keep in mind that we're just speculating for as long as there's no official statement posted, targeting this topic. :)


Thank you for supporting my argument, and I can also see why it might be hard for them to do it. I just wish they'd mention these things BEFORE moving beyond a beta release. I'm not saying implement - just mention their stance on the topic.

The same logic applies the other way around - the game is cross-platform on PS4, so obviously it works. I've played with many PC users, but the issue is the lack of a third party account that you can use on both platforms.

If you think that Sony hates crossplatform, then you should probably check the list of crossplatform games available - there's a lot of them. As far as I know, none of them are Sony developed either.

That's a lie - they have cross platform on Paragon, FFXIV, and many other games. It can be done, but Mercury Steam probably don't want to make it work.

Maybe a third-party account would be the best option, like with Paragon?
That way you can add other players to your friends list regardless of region, and it would allow you to use your various items across all platforms.

Bump.

I'd like to know this, as well.

I play on both PC and PS4, and I'm wondering if I'd really have to buy all skins, season passes, and so on twice over. Feels like it would be more convenient if I could use my PC account on the PS4, or vice versa for convenience. It would only be fair, as I'd otherwise have to spend an excess of $120 dollars on the game.
