I thought this was a Microsoft exclusive because of Microsoft was publishing it?

Microsoft co-publishes the XBox version, Sony's co-publishing the PS4 version.

Cross-platform?

Cross-platform?

Sadly, no.

Just a few more tidbits:

-PS4 version will be 1080p 30fps (same as XB1)

-While its not happening, when asked if cross platform between PS4 and XB is even possible the dev says quote: "Sadly its not a technical challenge".

-PS4 version will run on its own server. XB1/360 run on the same server. PC is separate from console versions.

I don't see how it's not a technical challenge. They don't have to dumb down the game or have exclusive maps for the console versions, they could do a direct port.

Edit: especially when the guy on the forum complains that it would make merges more difficult. Keeping the code base seperated for the console versions sounds kind of technical.

Edit2: well, if he just means ps4 vs.xbox, then it's obviously Microsoft's fault, but there's no reason ps4 players shouldn't be able to play with pc players.

Exactly. As I said, PS4--PC play is implemented in WarThunder, I just don't care for the game itself.
