Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford has confirmed that Borderlands 3 will not support cross-platform play when it launches on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on 13th September, despite previously calling the feature “a pre-requisite”.
Cross-play chatter has surrounded Borderlands 3 pretty much since its initial unveiling, with Pitchford tweeting back in April that “Gearbox have a very keen interest” in the feature.
This, he suggested, was one of the reason why the decision had been made to restrict sales of Borderlands 3 to the Epic Games Store on PC. “We believe multi-platform support is a pre-requisite,” he wrote, “and Epic’s leadership with cross platform support is helpful to our interests there.”
