Developer Rocksteady Studios has taken its new live-service multiplayer shooter set in the Batman: Arkham universe, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice Leauge, offline after Early Access players hit a «story completion» bug. While the standard edition of the game doesn't hit PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC until this Friday, February 2, players who purchase the more expensive Deluxe Edition, which costs $99.99 compared to the Standard Edition's $69.99 price tag, can jump in three days early.
Will Suicide Squad: KTJL Be Cross-Platform & Have Crossplay?

will follow Amanda Waller's Task Force X, a team comprised of some of the DC Universe's rogues as they battle DC's primary superhero team, the Justice League. The title takes place in the same universe as Rocksteady Games' games, but unlike those titles, is a third-person shooter that can be played solo with AI teammates, or with up to four players in online co-op. With the game's focus on online co-op, some are likely wondering if players will be restricted to playing with those on their chosen gaming platform, or if will have crossplay functionality.
Crossplay has become a much sought-after feature for many online games in recent years, due to the large number of players across different platforms. Whereas players used to be limited to playing with those on their own chosen platform, massive titles and franchises such as and have pushed for a way to unite their player bases, regardless of whether they play on a particular console or PC. Microsoft and Nintendo were early adopters of the feature, however, Sony had been reluctant regarding the idea of allowing its players to join those on competing platforms in the past. Eventually, in June 2021, PlayStation boss Jim Ryan issued a statement saying that Sony had decided to encourage and support crossplay more, following the success of the function on other titles.
As stated on the official website's FAQ page, the game will have crossplay for its online co-op mode. This will allow players to play with others regardless of their chosen gaming platform when the title launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, and Steam on February 2 — or 72 hours earlier, on January 30 for those who pre-ordered the game's Deluxe Edition on these platforms — and Epic Games Store on its later release date of March 5.
As the FAQs also point out, will also have cross-progression for online co-op. With this feature, should anyone opt to switch to another gaming platform during the time Rocksteady is supporting the game, they won't have to start from scratch with leveling up their preferred character, and their previously acquired weapons and skins should be carried over for them to easily pick up where they left off.
It's worth noting that the FAQs only mention that this cross-progression will be available for the game's online co-op, so those who are playing solo may not be able to carry over their progression in the same way. This may be in part due to the fact that while players need PlayStation Plus subscription or a Game Pass Core membership to play in its co-op mode on consoles, they don't need these subscriptions to play the game solo, despite the title currently needing to always be online.
Following fan backlash to the «always online» functionality, Rocksteady has

Did Rocksteady Not Send Out Review Codes For Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League?
Officially, Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League comes out on February 2nd, the same day that another big title arrives from Atlus. But a few days before, on January 30th, a special “early access” period will start for certain gamers to get into the title beforehand. These dates would excite players if they were hyped for the title. But, currently, the hype for the next game by Rocksteady Studios is “mixed” at best. An easy counter to this “mixed hype” would be to see how the reviews turn out and if critics can sway some of them to the developers’ side. Yet, if reports are to be believed, there’s a problem on that end.
