Minecraft Trailer Highlights Nintendo and Xbox Cross-Play Following Continued PlayStation Backlash
Nintendo has released a new trailer that focuses on Cross-Play between the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One, and PlayStation is still notably missing.
The trailer features two players, one holding Switch Joy-Cons and the other holding an Xbox One controller. Both players are seen working together in a rare promotional video featuring hardware, imagery, and more from both companies.
The video ends reinforcing this message of unity by stating "Create Together, Explore Together, Survive Together, Better Together."
This latest piece is the next entry in a much deeper story about PlayStation’s insistence on not allowing Cross-Play between Xbox One or Nintendo Switch.
Last week, Fortnite was released for the Nintendo Switch and it was quickly confirmed that if you had linked your existing Epic Games account to a PlayStation 4, you would not be able to log in or carry over any of your purchases or progress to the Switch.

Update: Fortnite Players Discover New TV Message After Altering the Date on PC
Update (June 28): The countdown has officially gone live in Fortnite and you can currently view it on every TV on the map. The hologram at the villain's lair also shows the countdown.
It's not clear what will happen when the countdown ends in two days, but we do know the launch message discovered last week has yet to appear. Players near the surrounding area of the rocket will now occasionally hear a missile siren. Both changes started alongside the release of the Week 9 challenges early this morning.
Original story follows:
Fortnite fans have discovered a new message on every TV on the map by changing the date and time on PC.
Epic Games Striving to Make Fortnite Endgame More Interesting
To currently win Fortnite, you'd better know how to build.
If you've ever been skilled, or lucky, enough to get to the top five in a Fortnite Battle Royale game, you know that the strategy of the endgame shifts pretty dramatically. You have to hurriedly slap together complex forts, attack other forts with shotguns and rocket launchers, or both. It gets pretty predictable. In a blog post today, Epic Games said it wants to change that.
"We are going to continue to make changes to evolve the game to give players multiple ways to counter each other in combat, and create more strategies to win the game," the blog post read. "It’s important to support a variety of late game strategies, that don’t boil down to 'just build lol.'"
