Xbox, Playstation and PC gamers will soon be able to all play together

Ever have that awkward moment when you meet a new friend and they're a diehard Xbox fan and you're… a Playstation gamer. It sucks.

Lads are usually more of the gaming type but with more and more scope for women these days, the ladies are playing just as much as the lads.

And now, we can all play together – no matter what device you have.

PC and Xbox One gamers will soon be able to compete in the same game (Rocket League) together and Microsoft has also hinted that Playstation compatibility is about to come along, too.

Cross-network play has happened before with PC and Xbox 360 with games like Shadowrun, but Xbox boss Chris Carla explained that it's going to be better than before:

"In addition to natively supporting cross-platform play between Xbox One and Windows 10 games that use Xbox Live, we're enabling developers to support cross-network play as well.

"This means players on Xbox One and Windows 10 using Xbox Live will be able to play with players on different online multiplayer networks – including other console and PC networks."
