Downloadable Content ·

2018/03/21

What if we all could play our entire personal libraries of games on a single device, and no longer need to shell out hundreds or thousands of dollars on separate consoles or a PC build? Or, at the very least, make it so that if two people have the same game but for different consoles, have the ability to still play with each other? We have the technology, and we're already starting to see games implement cross-platform play. How can this next step in gaming grow, and what's holding it back? Ep
