"There's nothing better than playing games together with a group of friends across multiple platforms, but if you're not squadding up in Battlefield 6, the idea of cross-play might send shivers down your spine. Fortunately for you, Battlefield Studios has given console players the option to switch cross-play off--protecting them from the quick hands of mouse and keyboard players. Here's everything you need to know."
"Turning cross-play off in Battlefield 6 is really simple, and it'll take you less than 30 seconds. All you need to do is head to the game's settings, select System, and then switch the cross-play toggle to off. This setting is only available to those playing on console, as the toggle does not appear on PC. Cross-play allows players on different platforms to come together in the same online matches."
"Console players may feel at a disadvantage when matched against PC players, and having the option to toggle it on and off allows you to even the playing field in games like Breakthrough, Conquest, and more. Turning it off does have a downside, though. By disabling cross-play, you're limiting your matchmaking options--if you're on PS5, you'll only match with PS5 players in your region, for example. If the servers can't find enough PS5 players to join your lobby, it'll then backfill it with bots."
Battlefield 6 provides a console-only toggle to disable cross-play. Disabling cross-play takes under 30 seconds via Settings > System > cross-play toggle. With cross-play enabled, console (Xbox and PS5) and PC players are matched together by default. Disabling cross-play confines matchmaking to the same console and region, reducing perceived disadvantages against PC players and evening the playing field in modes like Breakthrough and Conquest. Disabling cross-play narrows the player pool and can result in lobbies being backfilled with bots if insufficient platform players are available. Players must balance competitive fairness against matchmaking availability.
