Asobo, known today as the Microsoft Flight Simulator developer, created groundbreaking technology for large scale maps that was intended to be used in a high quality rally raid title. It was never released and ended up as FUEL, a post-apocalyptic open-world racing game. What happened?
Better known today as the developer of Skyrim and Fallout, Bethesda once had a well-respected racing game franchise and were deep into development of a licensed Skip Barber Racing title that never released.
Milestone announced that their upcoming MotoGP 23 title will have crossplay, but also said “Cross-Play not supported on Nintendo Switch and PC” beside an asterisk. If this, disappointingly, means that PC and users of either PS5 or XBox can’t play alongside each other then that’s a major loss for the PC platform. However, if it just means that Switch and PC users can’t race against each other, I get it. Unfortunately I’m just not clear which is correct because it has been explained by an asterisk as a counter to the inclusive platform commentary directly above it.
I have asked for clarification on social media, but I don’t expect a response.
