Cross-Network Play Comes to 'Rocket League' on the Xbox One

Let the PC and Xbox One versions play together.

'Rocket League' hit the Xbox One in March, but it debuted on the console missing an important feature, cross-network play. The PS4 version by comparison debuted along with the PC version with optional cross-network support, allowing PC and PS4 players to compete directly against each other.

Post-release there were big changes. A shift in Microsoft policy has opened up the ID@Xbox program, and as a result, 'Rocket League' on the Xbox One now allows the cross-network play with the PC version. This makes 'Rocket League' the "first-ever Xbox One game to support cross-network play with a Steam PC game."

Of course, a further hope is that players will one day have be able to play 'Rocket League' on the Xbox One against PS4 players and vice-versa, but that's still something to hope for.

For now, this a major change, and should grow the online 'Rocket League' play on the Xbox One by leaps and bounds.

So, as of today, on the Xbox One, cross-network play can be toggled on or off via a check box in the Options menu.
