PC gamers massacre in console versions of Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Coincidentally, a cross-play option was added to the game.

• Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy has also been released for PS4 and Switch
• PCs have realized that they can connect to console servers

The ability to cross-play between the PC and console versions of multiplayer games isn’t always lucky, as there are genres where the mouse + keyboard is clearly an advantage over the controller. For the PS4 and Switch, the classic Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, released last week, was certainly not intentionally made possible by the developers, but gamers soon realized that PCs could also connect via a direct IP address. for console servers.

As might be expected, the unintentional feature has become a pretty little massacre, as PCs not only have an advantage in terms of control, but there are elements that are only available in this version (e.g. chat and team vitality). Not to mention that veterans have a 17-year-old advantage over a fresh console audience.

Players take turns asking publisher Aspyr Media to hide the IP addresses of the console servers, preventing cross-play, but there has been no official reaction yet.
