Activision today confirmed that the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will have crossplay on all of its consoles, from launch. It’s a watershed moment for the people who’ve been pushing for more crossplay in mainstream games — and, with a game this popular paving the way, it’ll likely only become more common now.

To be clear, we’ve known for a while that developer Infinity Ward intended to put crossplay in Modern Warfare, just not how it was going to work and with what systems. The open multiplayer beta, which was shown today, will launch in two parts this September. The first part will be PS4-exclusive, and the second part will have crossplay between all three platforms: PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Patrick Kelly, creative director and co-studio head of developer Infinity Ward, confirmed in a press release the team intended to have crossplay active from launch onward: “Our goal with Modern Warfare is to bring all gamers together from day one to play together.”
