Still haven’t gotten to try the mode out, but I have one concern… How long can they keep this going without crossplay? Surely they have to enable that to have a healthy player base and for matchmaking’s sake. Don’t believe MGO have the playerbase to survive on three (?) different plateorms in the long run?

Anyways looking forward to trying it out. Just gotten our second child, so time to sit down and play games is not something one can do too much these days😅

It would have been great if it launched with crossplay but given Konami's history with online systems and matchmaking I'm not surprised at all that it hasn't happened. MGO2's Konami ID login systems was an utter disaster and became a nightmare for a lot of people and meant the time it took to get from the main game screen into an actual match was an age. For some reason I've been playing eFootball since 2022 when it launched, and Konami teased crossplay for that not long after its release, and only finally delivered about 6 months ago. To be fair it's been smoother than I expected but they literally took years to do it. 

I am curious how the numbers are looking on this after the first week though because I think it will be a concern. I think the way they've launched it is understandable but they're setting themselves up to have people drop in and drop out fairly quickly given the late release, lack of content and platform restriction. Then again MGO2's numbers probably weren't great either, but it had a consistent playerbase that stuck with it for a long time. But that was confined to one platform.
