Crossplay has been one of the most player-requested features for this generation of gamers, for as long as I can remember. I mean who wouldn't want to play with their best buddy on another platform like the Xbox One or the Switch--think of the possibilities. Well as of September 26th Sony has made the first step toward making that possible. The only catch is, it's only set up for Fortnite.  Fortnite players on PS4 can now play with gamers on Xbox One, Switch, Android, iOS, Windows and Mac computers. In the PlayStation blog that announced this, John Kodera said this: We see the beta as an opportunity to conduct thorough testing that ensures cross-platform play is best on PlayStation, while being mindful about the user experience from both a technical and social perspective.

By the end of my playthrough I wanted to drive right back into Zer0 Sum and make different choices to see the outcome. There's a story here that's interesting in the way it's delivered and how it expands on the world of Borderlands after Handsome Jack  (*Spoilers*)  dies at the end of the second game.

Hankering for more Borderlands, well now's you chance to take Borderlands wherever you go. Gearbox Software has announced that Borderlands Legends will be coming to iOS devices at the end of this month. The game is an action-RPG-strategy game that features the original cast of Borderlands and will offer the same kill, loot and level experience only this time in an isometric view. Head over to Entertainment Weekly for a first look. The game will be $4.99 on iPhone's and $6.99 on iPad's.  Now I personally don't have an iOS device, crazy I know, but I will be downloading this game on one of the many iOS devices I have access to. Let the looting begin.

The Steam Client is venturing into new territory with an app for mobile devices. The Steam App is now in a closed beta phase for both Android and iOS devices. Value's aim with this new piece of software is to allow Steam members to view a games screenshots, chat with friends, browse community groups, read the Steam News feed and check out the latest Steam sales. Downloading the app gets you access to the beta as long as Value gives the OK. It's good to see Value listening to what their customers want. Here's a link to either version. [via GamePolitics ]
