Cross play between PS4 and PC has always been possible. The problem is that the Sony Gestapo forces developers to disable cross play between Sony consoles and Switch, Xbonx, etc other consoles.
Meanwhile, PC, Xbonx, Switch, mobile etc games that have cross play have always been able to play with each other.
It started with Rocket League, then Minecraft, and then again with Fortnite. But now Epic and many others have gotten tired of sony's bull shit.

Okay Neps, this is important. Just want to give a quick shout out since I haven't seen people talking about it much, but if you haven't done it yet change your PSN privacy settings to accept messages from Friends ONLY.
Recently it's been discovered that people can send a simple PSN message containing a malicious unidentifiable text character that will basically brick your PS4 the second it gets into your in box. And the only way to fix it is to wipe out and restore your PS4. You don't even need to see or read it, once it's in your in box that's it, you're basically fucked. You can basically look up PS4 Brick on twitter and see the findings if you're interested. But yeah, go set it to that now.

^I haven't updated yet. I tend to hold off updating for a few days whenever a firmware update comes up. I'm a little wary ever since that particular update that bricked some PS3's a few years ago.

This particular update is mandatory, and I need to go online. I think the update is supposed to fix the glitch in PSN Messenger that causes your PS4 to endlessly loop in crashed state. So yeah, it's safe.

That's what it was for. The message attack became a huge issue fast that Sony was forced to make the firmwar update asap.
