Possible delay due to Cross-platform play?

[X S]

According to this GameRant article, there are rumors floating around that the delay to RDR2 might possibly have been caused by an inability to get Sony on board with cross-platform play.

These are just rumors at this point, but it's an interesting article nonetheless, considering we haven't heard much from Rockstar.

Someone mentioned it here already: 

 

Though no rumors on it. I see you commented in it as well. How do you feel now that there are rumors for the topic? Is it any more possible?

Sony have already said they won't be having anything to do with this, so no.

I remember discussing it, but the article seemed to give some credence to it.

I sincerely hope they can get it done.  As someone who purchased GTA V on XB1, PS4 and PC, I would have loved to play my character across all platforms.  We're going to look back on this someday and realize just how silly closed networks truly were.

That article has absolutely no credible sources, I think it is utter BS.

This is what I was thinking. Playing the same character across all platforms would be a HUGE bonus. First thing I thought when I seen the title of the thread.

Sony is a company that has always been looking out for itself. They will be the reason no cross-platform will exist. If they did or do get on board, there is a better chance of it happening but it likely never will so eh. I don't see the delay being down to this.
