Age of Empires to support cross-play between Microsoft Store and Steam

Age of Empires: Definitive Edition is an amazing experience. The title focuses on historic armies and significant conflicts that have occurred in the past. The first game spawned a couple of sequels, but there's something about the original that stands the test of time.

It looks amazing, hope there's CrossPlay with PS4 and Switch.

??? Microsoft owns the Age of Empires IP.

--bienio--2212d ago

Never will happen. Microsoft owns this game.

mark_parch2212d ago

it's not even on xbox so can't see it coming to ps4 or switch

slate912212d ago

I know it's a troll. But that was hilarious

xX-oldboy-Xx2212d ago

Thank you slate 91 - not my best work, but I couldn't resist. To all the rest that took the time to reply - it is clearly a troll comment.

What does cross play mean when talking about PC? Isn’t PC a free platform?

monkey6022212d ago

Yeah I feel like this should be a given and not need an article

traumadisaster2212d ago

Steam and MS are separate game clients and usually don't work together, so this is welcome

derektweed12212d ago

But multiplayer games do not work across platforms, for example, if a game is on steam and epic and microsoft store, normally, all those platforms will have separate multiplayer.

StormSnooper2211d ago

Yeah I realize that now. But there was a time that wasn’t the case. Now we got each publisher/developer with its own online account service. Unfortunately soon we will be paying for these services.

mark_parch2212d ago

I'm going to be pretty pissed off if the new age of empires and gears tactics don't come to xbox. Phil is busy putting games on every platform which is great but is ignoring the xbox community, what's the point in having mouse and keyboard support on xbox if you aren't even going to release your own ip on it lol.

slate912212d ago

Yeah, AoE should have been a thing a while ago. Hopefully saving that announcement for e3. But that is a big hope.

ShadowWolf7122211d ago

Age of Empires has always been a PC series, dude. You can't really get mad at him for focusing on that first here.

mark_parch2211d ago

I've got no problem with him focusing on the pc release first but I have a feeling it will never show up on xbox. It just makes his message of playing games on any device pretty confusing. hopefully I'm wrong

Imortus_san2212d ago (Edited 2212d ago )

Anounced it for Xbox One this E3.

BadElf2212d ago

Needs to be on the box as well

It would be cool. Though not as cool as Age of Empires IV being cross-platform.

CaptainCook2419d ago

The difference is on xbox One store it'll probably have a separate Keyboard and Mouse section.

gangsta_red2419d ago

With keyboard and mouse support already confirmed I say the chances are high. Announce Gears Tactics for console too while you're at it.

Eonjay2419d ago

These are both Microsoft Studio games. I am sure they would want to bring them over to Xbox. I think the thing that held it back in the past was M/K support and that is why they could be headed over soon.

micdagoat192419d ago

Is this impossible to play with a controller? Just asking because I see everyone talking about mice and keyboards

theredeyejedii2419d ago

I don't think it would be impossible but there deffo would be a steep learning curve
