Sony's Answer to Xbox Live

by RPG Site Staff on 12 September, 2006

SOE's Chris Kramer today revealed to 1UP that Sony have signed a deal with Xfire to "create a version of their platform for the new PS3, which will now enable Xfire to extend its reach further into the huge console gaming market."

Launch game Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom will make use of the Xfire. The game appeared in the list of supported software on Xfire's PC .ini file, despite being a PS3 exclusive title.

At the moment, Xfire are negotiating with Sony Online Entertainment only which does not necessarily mean that the feature will be incorporated into the PS3 online experience, but neither Sony nor Xfire have denied the possibility.
