PS3 and PS4 servers shared for DC Universe Online

DC Universe Online will use the same servers for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 versions of the game, so players can compete across both platforms.

The game's senior creative director Jens Andersen confirmed in a Q&A that PS4 players would be able to share their experiences with PS3 players and vice versa.

"We wanted to make sure that the release of DCUO on PS4 was not a homewrecker," he wrote. "We know there are lots of people from lots of different walks of life that find themselves in the same league, and enjoy playing with one another in game.

"We realised some people would be early adopters of the new platform, and others would wait to buy one. We felt it was very important to maintain cohesion within the community, so we decided to let them play on the same servers."

DC Universe Online launches as a free-to-play game with the PS4 later this year.
