<p><strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/star_wars_jedi_knight_jedi_academy">Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy</a></strong> has <em>finally</em> been released on the Nintendo Switch, but there seems to be a disturbance in the force.</p>
<p>There is reportedly an issue with the game’s online multiplayer component. While there’s no mention of a cross-play feature in the <a class="external" href="https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/star-wars-jedi-knight-jedi-academy-switch/">official Nintendo description</a>, right now, PC players are able to join Switch matches and it’s causing all sorts of trouble.</p>
<p>Here’s exactly what’s going on, according to ResetEra user <a class="external" href="https://www.resetera.com/threads/jedi-academy-console-rerelease-seemingly-has-unintentional-cross-play-with-pc-users.177788/">Max Payment</a>:</p>

<p>I was excited to play this game online, so I picked it up immediately. I joined a game where 1 player was absolutely mopping the floor with us and he had .twitchtv in his username.</p>
<p>Sure enough, I looked him up and he was playing on PC in a switch server absolutely decimating everyone.</p>
<p>Apparently all you have to do is take the server IP from a console match, which is clearly visible on console, and enter it in the PC server browser and join.</p>

<p>A number of Twitter users have reported the same issues in the Switch release. There’s even some cheating happening:</p>

<p>Although Aspyr didn’t include multiplayer of any sorts in the Switch version of <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/star_wars_jedi_knight_ii_jedi_outcast">Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast</a></strong>, it did make an effort to patch the solo experience when certain issues were reported. With any luck, it will resolve this problem with its latest release right away.</p>
