Developer Gearbox Software has said that cross-platform play won't be in Borderlands 3 when it launches later this year.

Studio boss Randy Pitchford revealed the information on Twitter (below), responding to rumours that the topic would the subject of an upcoming announcement which was to take place yesterday.

Pitchford has said that cross-play would be coming after launch and that the studio is "committed" to it, but it is waiting on its platform partners to make it possible.

Some folks may be speculating that this thing tomorrow may be about cross play. Tomorrow’s thing is awesome, but *not* about cross-play. But, Good News: We are committed to supporting cross-play for Borderlands 3 with our partners as soon as practicable after launch. #talklater https://t.co/XtUzrBpySP

Borderlands 3 was properly shown off in May 2019, but the reveal event was mired by both confused messaging around microtransactions in addition to Pitchford's battles with the media.
