About the project
NHL 23 added cross-play between console families and brought players from the women's international game into the roster for the first time in the series.
Cross-play is a deceptively large piece of engineering: matchmaking, account identity and anti-cheat all have to be reasoned about across two platform ecosystems that were never designed to agree with each other.
