Activision reveals details on first-ever crossplay for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Activision unveiled the details on its first-ever crossplay for a Call of Duty game. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will let PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One players battle each other in multiplayer combat. The big benefit is that players will be able to play with their friends on all three supported platforms. Players have the option to opt-in or opt-out for crossplay.

To enable crossplay and to play Modern Warfare, players have to sign up for a COD account. I’ve used it in past years to link my PlayStation 4 and Xbox accounts.
