Spellbreak studio wants crossplay and cross-progression to be standard in gaming

Cross-progression is a lofty goal for any game developer to tackle in a day when games like Fortnite run on any, OK, almost any, platform. But Proletariat aims to take this a step further by enabling cross-progression with Spellbreak on the same day the studio’s fantasy battle royale launches across PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

Doing all of this at once is a big technical and logistics challenge, as Epic Games learned as it did the pioneering cross-platform work with its Fortnite game. But CEO Seth Sivak said in an interview with GamesBeat that every multiplayer game should have cross-progression, where your progress on one platform can be immediately available if you switch to playing on another.
