Why is there so little crossplay?

PC and PS4 have '' contracts '' or not? On games like Rocket league or Fortnite you can also play from PC to PS4 / other. Why not play on games like Gta 5 or stop playing all sorts of games? Why do not you do it / why do you need it for so long?

It's not that easy, since the systems are quite different.

Games have to be programmed extra for this. In GTA 5, you certainly will not waste time.

Or. Do you have to change the server landscape so that works.

In some games, crossplay is less useful because the usual available control options z.b. Do not allow fair play. (There's not a free "autoaim" for egoshooter on consoles)

Co

The technical basis is now so similar in consoles and PCs that console games can be converted relatively easily towards the PC. Usually only menu adjustments and target aids are problematic, which are perceived by PC players with lower latency in the playback chain and better peripherals as annoying and superfluous.

Conversely, it is more difficult because consoles rely on very extensive adjustments for games to run well. The graphics hardware is significantly less powerful than in mid-range gaming PCs and the game must therefore be optimized for it. This is therefore only done in games where appropriate sales are expected and which do not jeopardize the high game prices in console games.

Certain console games are intended to bind customers to the console and are therefore deliberately offered exclusively for consoles. The game manufacturer is contractually prohibited to port them to the PC.
