cross platform gaming

Cross Platform Gaming Homework   Cross platform gaming means that a video game  has the ability to  allow players to play a game like Minecraft simultaneously on different gaming hardware.   The "Better Together" update is so exciting for the gaming world because it takes different versions of Minecraft that have been available on PC, Xbox, iOS, and Android, and consolidates them into one master version, with same features, functionality and content matter where you play. This update allows players from the listed platforms to play together without any restrictions.   There might be concerns over online child protection because there are some content in games that are inappropriate for children for example Call of Duty and Battlefield.

For example,  Fortnite  has murder in it and PlayStatio
