We're absolutely thrilled and appreciative of the support that our fan community has given last week's launch of Star Wars™ Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy on PS4 and Nintendo Switch. Asypr provided the same statement to USG as it did to PC Gamer: USgamer reached out to Asypr to ask why the cross-play functionality wasn't advertised and to inquire about a remedy for console players. Some PC players seem to be intentionally trolling console servers, but even in an otherwise fair match, mouse and keyboard offer greater precision in Jedi Academy than most Switch or PS4 players could hope to match. PS4 and Switch servers don't show up in the menus for Jedi Academy players on PC, but players are free to plug in the unlisted IP address of console matchmaking servers and have at it.
PC Gamer reported on the strange, seemingly unintended crossplay functionality this past weekend. Enthusiasm for new PS4 and Switch ports was high as a result, but since its release console players have found that cross-play with PC is actually enabled by default, resulting in unfair matches between new players and PC veterans.
Is there something you think we should be reporting on? Email plenty of multiplayer Star Wars games have followed it, the franchise still hasn't had more focused multiplayer lightsaber combat than Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy's.
