While many members of the community have pointed to Microsoft as an entitiy against supporting cross-platform play, Epic Games stated that this is far from the truth in their announcement.

"Contrary to what may have been implied, Microsoft has long been a leading voice in supporting cross-platform play, connecting players across PC, mobile and all consoles. We’ve been working together with them over the last several months to make this possible, and will bring this functionality to Fortnite players on Xbox right along with other platforms."

With the promise of Fortnite being the exact same game across all platforms, Epic Games has begun to construct a truly connected community that will allow all players to play with each other no matter what platform they choose. While Fortnite has already become a cultural phenomenon, the introduction of cross-platform play will only help in keeping the game at the top of the industry and the minds of its players.
