Cross Platform play is gaining a lot of attention from several gaming franchises. Cross Platform Gaming enables Xbox360 andPS4 gamers to compete with PC gamers in a multiplayer mode. Final Fantasy 14, Rocket league have recently added the Cross-platform play support.

But the makers of Tekken 7 believe a Cross platform play support could hinder the game. Katsuhiro Harada the project lead posted a tweet clarifying his stand. As translated by Avoiding The Puddle, the tweet said,

"It's not a matter of the technology for getting the PS4/XB1/PC players to match up against each other being the issue," he further added, "but rather first party company policies and potential security risks alongside the community perceived reputation of PC gamers being cheaters that are hindering the decision to allow cross-platform play."

It was later clarified that Harada is not calling PC gamers, cheaters. But it is the perception of console players. He was refereeing to the use of hacks by PC gamers which can give them an edge over Xbox 360 and PS4 gamers.
