Cross platform is purely a restriction on the server side which is done by Microsoft/Sony and we'd be stupid to go out of our way and implement such a thing.
The harder thing is getting the game to run on linux but i'm pretty sure there are some people who are doing so already and they tend to help each other when it comes to that kinda stuff so that should be ok as well.
