When the PlayStation 5 and next-gen Xbox arrive this holiday, major games will be playable across generations for the first time ever

This holiday season, both Sony and Microsoft are scheduled to launch next-gen versions of their PlayStation and Xbox consoles.

When "Fortnite" and "Destiny 2" arrive on next-gen platforms, all your stuff from the current generation will transfer over. Additionally, you'll be able to play those games on next-gen consoles with players on the prior generation — a huge change for how games have traditionally worked.

"We plan to support cross-progression across console generations and platforms so that your account, progression, and items carry over," the studio behind "Fortnite," Epic Games, Until now, the move to a new console generation often meant leaving the last one behind, a precedent set decades ago, when the Nintendo Entertainment System was succeeded by the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The games you bought, and the save data from those games, stayed locked to whatever console generation they originally launched on.

XboxP3 Still waiting for the online showcase in place of e3.

aarongreenberg DankieSan10 😍

XboxP3 I'm actually really excited about this cause my wife won't HAVE to buy a Series X just so we can play Halo when I upgrade my console. I imagine it's the same story for lots of couples and siblings and friends.

XboxP3 Thanks to Xbox

Awesome

a Nintendo released some of its major titles for both the Wii and GameCube.

XboxP3 Okay, good to know. Just want cross play

XboxP3 Can someone out there give me hope and tell me Halo isn’t being delayed

? Watch dogs was on ps3 and ps4.

aarongreenberg That's one of the biggest experiences and exciting things I can't wait to try myself. If E3 was happening and I was attending I probably would of tried to get my hands on playing the Series X myself.

Thank you Xbox for forcing Sony's hand! Unfortunately Sonybwill once again push for remasters

XboxP3 But only on xbox, because sony are wimps, considering they sold more consoles its amazing to see how little they have done to improve and or change.

XboxP3 I mean the xbox one has supported the cross generation compatibility for how long now so the series x will just make the list slightly larger compared to the ps5 that'll rely on specific ps4 titles and psnow anyway

XboxP3 Hey Philll! Help XboxBR trash marketing ! XboxBR haver only left politcs peoples. This peoples seek and Destroy all Channel not left. Xbox mil grau best Channel!

XboxP3 First time ever? Though backwards compatibility has been happening for decades?

majornelson I cant wait to run into someone on ps4 using mouse keyboard & get rekt 🙃

XboxP3 XboxP3 This is AMAZING! Microsoft & Xbox are truly embracing collaboration & cooperation for the betterment of all gamers! With that being said, do we have to wait for Series X to join our friends on FF_XIV_EN or could it be sooner? Sincerely, a huge FinalFantasy fan.

majornelson Wait this upcoming holiday

XboxP3 Phil Spencer,plz make a contract with WB super heroe games and content because Sony puts out exclusive content only on PS and we dont get that as well. The reason is Sony has a contract with WB. I love superhero games and I want all the content that PS has.

XboxP3 Not on playstation though. PS will have some sort of backwards compatibility for games but xbox smart delivery is an absolute gamechanger

XboxP3 Can I play ps1 games on ps5

XboxP3 Xbox Wins

XboxP3 🤝

XboxP3 Why are they NOT calling nextgen xbox by its name... XBOX SERIES X?

XboxP3 Finally!!!!!!!!!!
