According to The Verge, Microsoft is announcing a big new feature for Xbox owners today: cross-network play. It's something the software giant has hinted at for years, and something gamers have dreamed of for even longer. And now it seems the reality of PS4, Xbox One, and PC players playing the same game together might finally happen.
If this were to go ahead it will truly change the shape of the gaming landscape and would likely open up the number of friends you could play online with. No more having to sacrifice your PlayStation mates for your Xbox buddies or vice versa.
However, if console gamers could play a PC gamer that would open up a whole new can of worms as a mouse and keyboard offer a lot more control than a traditional gamepad.
