It turns out there's a major drawback to playing 'Fortnite' on a PlayStation 4, and gamers are frustrated

Nintendo

• The world's most popular video game, "Fortnite: Battle Royale," is officially coming to the Nintendo Switch, with cross-platform play with players using iOS, Mac, Windows PC and Xbox One.
• PlayStation 4 owners, however, will not be able to play online with Switch players, and are restricted from bringing their Fortnite progress and Battle Passes between the two consoles.

Nintendo announced at E3 on Tuesday that the world's favorite video game, "Fortnite: Battle Royale," will finally be available on the Nintendo Switch starting today. However, for PlayStation 4 players, the release of the Switch version has highlighted a major frustration with how Sony does business. 

First, the Switch version of the game will support cross-platform play with players on Apple iOS, Mac, Windows PC and Xbox One, but not PlayStation 4. This means a Switch player will not be able to play "Fortnite" online with  friends on PlayStation 4. Still, this is what we've come to expect from Sony, which has a history of blocking online play between the PlayStation 4 and other consoles. See the rest of the story at Business Insider
