In brief: After he previously suggested that it would be a big feature of the game, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford has now confirmed that Borderlands 3 will not have cross play at when it launches this September 13.
Following the backlash after Borderlands 3 was confirmed as yet another Epic Games Store exclusive, Pitchford defended the decision by tweeting that both himself and Gearbox have a very keen interest in cross-platform play, which was one of the reasons why Epic was given exclusivity. “We believe multi-platform support is a pre-requisite and Epic’s leadership with cross platform support is helpful to our interests there,” he wrote.
By the time you read this, there will have been another Borderlands 3 reveal, which Gearbox had been teasing with the tagline “A celebration of togetherness." Not surprisingly, people believed an official cross-play announcement was forthcoming, but Pitchford shot this theory down in a tweet yesterday.
“Some folks may be speculating that this thing tomorrow may be about cross play. Tomorrow’s thing is awesome, but *not* about cross-play,” he tweeted.
