Borderlands 3 is finally getting cross-play after PlayStation initially blocked the feature.

As reported by GameSpot, developer Gearbox announced at PAX East that cross-play would arrive this spring, meaning players on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC can all play together.

The studio revealed last year that full cross-play was ready for Borderlands 3 but it was told to pull the feature from PlayStation consoles.

Biggest Games of 2022

We're highlighting the most promising projects of 2022, from tentpole first-party titles like Breath of the Wild 2, God of War Ragnarok, and Starfield to much-anticipated multiplatform releases like Elden Ring and Hogwarts Legacy.<h3>Rainbow Six Extraction</h3><br> <b>Release Date:</b> January 20 (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, Stadia, PC)<br><br> Ubisoft kicks off 2022 with Rainbow Six Extraction, a PvE spinoff of its ultra-popular shooter Rainbow Six Siege. Built on the foundation of Siege, Extraction pits teams of three against a parasitic alien threat. The shooter suffered multiple delays (and a name change) since it was revealed at E3 2019.View 48 Images<h3>Pokemon Legends: Arceus</h3><br> <b>Release Date:</b> January 28 (Switch)<br><br> The first big Switch exclusive of the year, Pokemon Legends: Arceus takes Nintendo’s beloved monster-collecting franchise in a bold new direction. Arceus, the series’ first core game set in a (semi) open world, shakes up the traditional methods of encountering and battling Pokemon.<h3>Dying Light 2</h3><br> <b>Release Date:</b> February 4 (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, PC)<br><br> Coming seven years after the release of the original, Dying Light 2 Stay Human brings players to a new region of Techland’s zombie-filled open world. This time around, the parkour playground is four times bigger and developer Techland has worked to create more fluidity between traversal and combat. Oh, and Rosario Dawson (The Mandalorian) will play a major role in the game’s story.<br> <br> Dying Light 2 for Switch will be released sometime after the other versions. Techland expects to have it ready within six months of the initial February 4 release date (i.e., by August 2022).<h3>Sifu</h3><br> <b>Release Date:</b> February 8 (PS5, PS4, PC)<br><br> Sifu is a new kung-fu game from Sloclap, the studio behind 2017’s combat-focused RPG Absolver. In addition to smooth martial-arts gameplay, Sifu features a unique mechanic around death: Upon dying, the playable character will come back as an older version of themself — a metaphor for the wisdom that comes with age and experience. However, if you grow too old (i.e., die too much), death will eventually result in a “definitive game over.”<h3>CrossfireX</h3><br> <b>Release Date:</b> February 10 (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One)<br><br> Ultra-popular PC shooter Crossfire comes to consoles for the first time early next year. Both the single-player and free-to-play multiplayer modes will be released on February 10. Crossfire developer Smilegate is handling the multiplayer component, while Remedy (Alan Wake, Control) created the two single-player campaigns: Operation Catalyst and Operation Spectre — both of which will be available at launch.

Cross-play was available in Gearbox's latest game, however, as Tiny Tina's Wonderlands included the feature from the moment it launched last month, allowing up to four players to play online together regardless of platform.

Sony has been historically resistant to letting its players join those on its competitors' platforms but titanic titles like Fortnite, Call of Duty, and Rocket League have helped push cross-play into the norm.

Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida had previously commented that "our way of thinking is always that PlayStation is the best place to play", which caused significant backlash amongst players on all platforms.

A few years on in 2022 and multiple games support cross-play, including Rainbow Six Extraction, MLB The Show, and Overwatch. PlayStation boss Jim Ryan made the turnarond clear, saying last June that the publisher supports and encourages the feature.

In our 9/10 review, IGN said: "Borderlands 3 sticks to its guns and outdoes itself with an amazing arsenal of weapons, humour, and missions."
