Xbox Series X players will be able to play multiplayer games with friends playing on the Xbox One. Previews for the new console from both 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Verge and , publish🃏ed earlier today, confirmed the featur▨e.

According to Gamespot, "first-party titles will support cross-gen multiplayer," but for third-party titles, it'll be the developers' choice as to whether players on different consoles will be able to play together. Call🏅 of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is said to have confirmed cross-gen play, for example. The Verge tested a little further, stating that "in every multiplayer game I've tested on Series X, I was able to join friends who were using an Xbox One and match against other Xbox One players."

Microsoft first mentioned cross-generation multiplayer in a blog 🍎post back i🐠n March, but there's been little further word on how that would work. Now, the suggestion that a good number of current-gen games will be able to matchmake with the next-gen hardware is likely to appea🧸l to those who haven't managed to secure a new console straight away, but it also poses questions around the difference in load times and the potential advantage that enh💫anced visuals or frame-rate enhancements will offer Series X players.

Given෴ the increased prevalence of cross-play between the Xbox One and the PS4 in recent years, cross-gen multiplayer doesn't exactly come as a surprise, but it doesn't necessarily have a precedent. At the ⛎start of this console generation, those playing on Xbox One were separated from those on the Xbox 360, so this is certainly a welcome change.
