Microsoft has been very open to cross-platform play, with the most recent example being that Minecraft players on Xbox One can play with those on PC and even Nintendo Switch.

Of course, some console owners play on multiple platforms or just aren't interested in the battle royale genre, but with 93 million potential players, odds are that Fortnite: Battle Royale will be successful.
