It took over a year, but World War Z is finally going to support crossplay on all platforms with their latest update. Launching on Xbox, PS4, and as an Epic Game's Store exclusive on PC in April of last year, this cooperative zombie shooter has been adding new features and updates at a steady pace. Despite middling reviews, the developers seem determined to keep their population of dedicated players coming back as long as possible, no matter where they play.

A previous update to World War Z  released in March brought the game close to full crossplay by allowing PC and Xbox players to team up against the zombie hoards, but left the PS4 players isolated. The Dronemaster update, due out on July 22nd, will finally bring all platforms together with no restrictions. The game's official Twitter account invites players to "Join forces across PS4, Xbox One, and PC and turn the tide against the sea of undead. Invite your friends to your party no matter what platform they play on."

Finally bringing all the systems together isn't all the Dronemaster update brings to the game. A new player reporting system will be implemented, allowing players to block or report others for specific offenses. These offenses include offensive language, exploiting, cheating, and inappropriate behavior. The game's official forum goes into what each of these entail, as well as a new code of conduct players will agree to upon playing the game. Getting banned can be as tame as a 30-minute ban, 30 days, or can even be permanent if the code of conduct is broken repeatedly. Cheaters, on the other hand, "will be dealt with more severely".

A full list of patch notes haven't been made public yet, but finally reaching cull crossplay support is a great addition to World War Z. Games that rely on a healthy online community like this benefit the most from combining players from all platforms to make sure there the community of people to join up with is as large as possible. The game has been announced to also be coming to Nintendo Switch, but has no official release date yet. Hopefully when it does there won't be a delay in that version joining the others in crossplay functionality.
