WHAT
This week we’ll be hosting some of the team behind the latest Epic Online Services SDK 1.16 release & discussing some of the biggest changes and updates that have come with it! We’ll do a thorough breakdown of how this crossplay overlay was expanded with initial support for games on Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and Sony PlayStation while enhancing its capabilities across all supported platforms.
The crossplay overlay offers a ubiquitous way to authenticate players, streamline friend management, and provide game invite and joinability functionality that’s designed to be compliant with native platform requirements - which can be a huge time saver for devs of all experience levels. Don’t miss the Q&A at the end!
