Epic Games has implemented an amazing crossplay feature to their biggest game, Fortnite.
Moving forward, we're going to see big changes coming with the new season and the release of the next-gen consoles.
This is likely to bring back some old fans of the game, meaning you'll likely want to play with people on other platforms.
