The Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 still has no cross-play between them. Therefore, Xbox‘ head of marketing tries to talk to Sony once again.

Aaron Greenberg gives it a shot despite Sony shooting down the cross-play for Rocket League, Minecraft, and recently, ARK: Survival Evolved.

So we’re talking to them, and we’re hopeful that they’ll be supportive of it.”
