PES 2021: 6 Early Rumours You Need To Know
3. Cross Platform Support
Perhaps best implemented by Fortnite and Minecraft, cross platform support is one of the most puzzling features missing from almost all modern video games.
The potential for a multi-platform supported football game is quite obvious. With this feature, buyers looking for a solid online experience will no doubt be tempted towards Konami's title. This will also mean that quality between console and PC versions will no longer be the issue it once was. Next-Gen consoles and gaming PC's will not be too far removed spec wise either, so it wouldn't be much of a problem to implement.
It is no secret that FIFA has suffered from major issues in the online department. If Konami can add this feature to PES, it will hold yet another trump card over EA's title.
Cross platform support also means a larger and more active community. It is worth mentioning that Konami has already established a strong reputation for listening to its player base. Yearly changes to the PES franchise have been heavily based on community feedback. With this, a larger community might feel more active in the role of the game's development.
It might also lure more FIFA fans away, as there seems to be a notable disconnect between EA's priorities and those of gamers.
