Jeremy Stieglitz, lead designer, programmer, and co-creative director of Ark: Survival, has revealed that cross-play between PS4 and Xbox One is working internally, but Sony is not letting it happen. This follows the company’s decision to block cross-platform play in Minecraft and Rocket League.
At E3, PlayStation executive Jim Ryan said one reason why Sony isn't allowing cross-play between PS4 and Xbox One is because the company is concerned about the safety of its users. If Sony allowed PSN to connect to an outside network like Xbox Live, Sony would not be able to fully control the experience. This could potentially put its users, in particular children, at risk, Ryan said.
