It's super great, but that's where I bought the unlock everyone pack.

I was going to go and check it out but the free one isn't up on Switch yet.
Wonder if that hits of the 19th, weird thathas that last bullet to make it foggy after them showing it in this patch notes as a feature.

Very good news.
Next gen I would hope Cross play and progression be a standard on all MP third party games.
When Nintendo yes Nintendo is on the cross play train and we know their history with online anything we've fully entered crazy town.
More choices and options to choose where I play and who with = my hard earned money

Patch day was a bit of a mess but considering the amount of moving parts to rejig this years old game to work seamlessly with cross-play/progression i will let them off. Had quite a few games last night. It's a trip having people on PC using text chat when normally it's all voice comms on console. When i played it was all seamless. There's a few visual indicators where you can tell you're matched up with people outside of your own ecosystem but other than that it's business as usual. In a weird sort of way when i was the only console player on my team i was paranoid about playing badly to not reflect poorly on console players but all that was put to rest when i got matched up with a classic bad Loki player on PC and i thought "Ah... all is how it should be".
This right here is the future of gaming and i can't wait for Sony to finally get on board properly (none of this beta nonsense) so that PS4 players can join in on the fun and usher in a brave new world where we remove barriers to gaming for everyone, not create them.

I only played a few matches yesterday, but I too had a good experience with cross play. Played with plenty of console players and they actually were great and the matches were fine. I'm not surprised people are knee jerk reacting to it harshly though. The update needs time to settle.
In fact I played with one of the best Gebs I've ever seen yesterday and they were on console.
