Here's why:
* Different ecosystems: Xbox and PlayStation are separate gaming ecosystems with their own online services, networks, and game libraries. They are not compatible with each other in terms of online gameplay.
* Cross-play: Some games are designed to allow players on different consoles (including Xbox and PlayStation) to play together. This is known as cross-play. If a game supports cross-play, it will be clearly stated in the game's information or marketing materials.
Therefore, to play with someone who has an Xbox, you need to:
1. Check if the game supports cross-play: Look for information about cross-play support in the game's description, website, or official announcements.
2. Ensure both of you are playing the same game version: Cross-play usually works only between the same versions of the game (e.g., both players have the PS4 version or both have the Xbox One version).
Examples of games that support cross-play between Xbox and PlayStation:
* Fortnite
* Rocket League
* Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
* Minecraft
* Among Us
Note: Cross-play is not available for all games, and it is still relatively uncommon.
