Who knows? Maybe they will pull it off and make cross-play that much better. The chances of that happening are a bit on the slim side in my eyes. Milestone may address these problems, though it's not guaranteed.
HOT WHEELS UNLEASHED CROSSPLAY UPDATE
And as such, stuff like this won't be very well received by the community.īut will this be the only cross-play update we'll get? Only time will tell. This makes the cross-play experience on Unleashed a fair bit underwhelming for people who want to host their own lobby just to have some fun or competition while talking through Discord, Skype, or whatever.

Even with this update installed on the aforementioned consoles, you'll still be restricted to only inviting your friends on the same platform. Which leads us to this second problem: there is no in-game buddy list for your Hot Wheels friends. That way, you won't have to like, purchase all the available versions that game is on like you had to do with the previous generation consoles. It makes the cross-play experience all the more better because of it. But it worked there because you have EA Friends which allows you to invite other people from other platforms of the game. If you take a look at Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered, that game does feature cross-play on all consoles it was released for. There legitimately is no way to host your own lobby and only play with your friends because of this restriction, leaving Unleashed Switch left with you just playing online with randoms. On top of that, Unleashed on Switch doesn't even have the ability to create private lobbies unlike all the other versions. Not as well as the likes of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but regardless, the Switch's hardware limitations make Unleashed perhaps the most underwhelming version out there whether it has optimization problems, Nintendo delaying updates to a few days later, or what have you. Despite that, the game itself runs surprisingly well. The game runs at 30fps, which makes the game feel like a slideshow. A very plausible reason for this is because of the Switch's limited hardware and how the game runs on it. Players that have only bought the game on Switch will be stuck on their handheld/docked Nintendo console for the time being until Milestone manages to add it in at a later date. This update is only for the Xbox, PlayStation, Steam, and Epic Games versions of Unleashed. But there is one console that does not get this update, which begs the question too: where are the Switch players? When I went to the Game Updates page on the official Hot Wheels Unleashed website, there was no sign for Cross-Play being released on the Nintendo Switch version.

And in this update, drivers will now be able to play with other people no matter what console they are playing on. Milestone, the developers of Hot Wheels Unleashed, have just released their update on cross-play. There's no tl dr version of this post, so my apologies for that. This may be a bit of a biased opinion, but please hear me out.
