In matchmaking if it selects an XBO user then it sorts the others out. If it selects a PS4 it sorts the others out. So apparently it depends on which hits your party first.

Thank you! Explains that for me.
Yet console players can't see it, so... uh... your point?
so keeping the purity of ps4 intact got it
Finnally you understand, smeh

I play Rocket League on Xbox. A few months ago there was definitely a need to allow crossplay, at least between xbox and PC. The xbox pop was pretty low, only a few thousand for the popular play lists and a few hundred for stuff like snow day. It has gotten much better now that we can play against PC users. Crossplay between PC, PS4 and xbox would be fun but its not a need for xbox anymore. Sony really should ok this though, all we are really getting from it is a bigger matchmaking pool and the opportunity to sarcastic quick chat the other console users. What a save!.
It's not that it's neccesary or not. Wouldn't you want to have more options?

This is what I'm saying.
Leave all your opinions on why it's NOT need out of this. The best option is MORE OPTIONS.
It's best to have all 3 versions compatible with each other. That's the best case scenario PERIOD. There's no ifs ands or buts about it. If they can get cross play done, DO IT.
This is more than just rocket league. This is about setting precedence for future titles to allow cross platform play.
Nope, is the simple answer. PS4 and PC is enough for a good online community

I hereby submit that PS4 be removed from crossplay entirely. PC and Xbox is good enough and we don't need you.
To be perfectly honest. I'm not fond of crossplay between different ecosystems if the population doesn't require it. I quite like the consistency of knowing that I can invite, friend, chat to, etc every person I'm playing with or against. It's one of the things that initially caused me to prefer playing on Xbox Live (even at a cost back in 2002), to the experience I was getting on PC games at the time.
I still think Sjefen is being ridiculous about all this though as he's happy with the experience of crossplatform play, but just doesn't want the Xbox group being added..

Ummm we most definitely have "gamer pics" on PC - the game uses our Steam profile picture, just like Xbox has their gamertag avatar and PlayStation has its whatever Sony calls your avatar. We don't see pictures not on our platform though - it just says PSYNET.
