Ark: Survival Envolved is the latest title to be banned by Sony from playing with Xbox One users

One of the possibilities available to Xbox One and PC users is being able to cross-match between the two platforms with some titles. A model that we can find in the games that are included under the Xbox Play Anywhere label and that gives extra playability to both platforms.

Against Sony, which, although it allows cross-play with some titles between PlayStation 4 and PC users, still does not give up when it comes to share games with Xbox One ownersA refusal that has now seen how a new chapter arrives.

And it is that the Japanese company is still reluctant to access this possibility and an example could be the case of Ark: Survival Evolved , a multiplatform title for Windows, Mac, PS4 and Xbox One. A game regarding which Sony seems not to give up and thus joins others such as Minecraft or Rocket League.

It was Jeremy Stieglitz, Ark's lead designer and programmer, who made it clear through his Twitter account that the game can offer that possibility and that it is fully functional, but thatSony is the one that refuses to allow it to be carried out

You should know what are the reasons that move Sony to prevent its users from being able to play with those of Xbox OneFear of losing market? It has become clear that, fanaticism aside and although it may like it more or less, the PS4 has been the dominator of this generation in sales, so allowing the game with Xbox One would not have to affect it negatively.

"

For now we only know the reasons that Sony argues in the case of Minecraft, because in the words of Jim Ryan from Sony, the brand wants to take care of players, especially the youngest, fromexternal influences that we do not have the capacity to manage or care for"

Sony would have to give a compelling reason to justify this position For business reasons and for the sake of a movement to stay competitive? ? You may or may not agree, but they would be totally legitimate. What could not be understood is a justification as bizarre as the previous one.
