Last weekend, there were reports of an issue with the online multiplayer component of Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy on the Nintendo Switch, which allowed PC players to join the same servers.
Our friends over at USgamer reached out to Aspyr to ask what exactly was going on, and were informed a fix for this cross-play bug was on the way. Here's the full statement:
We're absolutely thrilled and appreciative of the support that our fan community has given last week's launch of Star Wars™ Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy on PS4 and Nintendo Switch. We are aware of the current bug that allows multiplayer cross play between PC and console. As with every game we work on, we are fully committed to delivering great gaming experiences for players, which includes a fair playing field for all. A remedy for this loophole is now in the works and will be available soon.
There's no mention of when exactly this fix will arrive, other than the fact it will be available soon. If Asypr's patch for its existing Star Wars game on Switch is any indication, this cross-play bug should be resolved within the next few weeks.
How's your experience been with the multiplayer in this game so far? Tell us below.

Might wanna fix that front page button.
The way the logo and the text are placed, makes it nearly impossible to read the headline of the article.
I wouldn't be surprised if this all by design, dumb everyone on the same serves in place for PC players so they don't need to create separate ones for PS4 and Switch players, they just got caught because it never crossed their minds the skill levels between console and PC players with this game is huge.
Waiting on @ Schenectady or whatever his name was to come in and tell us about the PC master race just being better and oh yeah here's my work please read it.
I'm glad they are taking the time to patch it, despite it being just a port of an old game.
I only bought it for the single player personally. But I know a lot of people were pumped for multiplayer.
Guys at Asypr reading the email: It's not my fault, it's not my fault... they said they fixed it! (Chewwie screaming in the back ground hitting the servers with a spanner)
They could have fixed crossplay to be optional. Not the end of the world.
@Taffy That's what I said on the original article about them overlooking this.
@Capt_N ah shucks, was think contemplating this or a Jar Jar Binks situation, me-sah sorry
Nintendolife, you cannot play this game online with friends. That's worth reporting on. It's useless and busted.
I even got my copy refunded...
@Taffy No apologies necessary
@WallyWest Normally I'm a console player, but I grew up with this game on PC. Console players just coming in are gonna be lagging behind. Although it was on the original Xbox at one point
@glenny3214 It may be worth it for people who wish to play it single-player, but that's not why some people buy a game, and having different preferences doesn't make people retarded, and it certainly doesn't justify insulting them.
