We talked to BioWare about how much of Anthem might change after launch, how much it's already changed, and the potential for crossplay/crossave. www.gameinformer.com/2019/01/25/bioware-on-updating-anthem-listening-to-feedback-and-crossplay

Great info … my favorite part …

"One of the most requested features for games like this is crossplay. Where do you all sit on that?

We're in the "pro" column. We want to do it. It's just not going to be there for launch. We're going to look into it a lot more, we've already been looking into it quite a bit. We'll have more news on that later. But in terms of how does the Anthem development team feel about it? We want you to play with friends, that's the thing about Anthem. If your friend happens to own an Xbox, and you happen to own a PlayStation, we still want you to play with your friends, so that's what we're going for.

Do you see PC being able to interact with that at all?

Oh yeah, yeah. PC interacting with consoles, same thing.

Would there also be potential for cross-save, carrying your characters around consoles and PC?

That is actually easier than crossplay. The way it all works is that there is a local save file, but that's not really not where everything is stored. Everything stored is on your account. Allowing you to access that stuff on another platform is actually easier to solve. But still, not for launch."

edit add: *le sigh* shoulda known DR would beat me to the punch.
