Epic opens Fortnite’s cross-platform services for free to other devs

Epic says its newly announced Online Services SDK will offer "cross-platform login, friends, presence, profile, and entitlements" across PC, Mac, iOS, Android, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch "to the full extent each platform allows per-title." The service is planned for launch on PC sometime in the second or third quarter of 2019, with support for other platforms planned "throughout 2019."

Looks like Epic is forcibly breaking down barriers between ecosystems. I look forward to seeing the results
