How to Turn Off Crossplay in Battlefield 6 Open Beta

by

The Battlefield 6 open beta supports crossplay, but there is an option to turn the setting off.

At the unveiling of Battlefield 6’s multiplayer feature, EA clarified the system behind their skill-based matchmaking. Factors such as ping, player location, server accessibility, and a “skills factor” are all considered when setting up gaming lobbies. Nevertheless, it’s important to note that these matchmaking elements might differ depending on the specific game mode being played and the number of participants involved.

It’s not exactly clear how this affects every game mode, but Electronic Arts (EA) has promised that the player lobbies will still have a mix of different players. Crossplay can influence the matching process, but feel free to disregard it if you prefer.

Battlefield 6 Crossplay Explained

Battlefield 6 supports crossplay between PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Should you choose to keep crossplay active, here’s a brief explanation of its functionality, as detailed by DICE producer Alexia Christofi, along with its impact on the matchmaking process.

Enabling Crossplay means we prioritize matching you with other players using consoles. If we can’t find a suitable match within the console community, we’ll widen the search to include all platforms for a game.

Enabling crossplay can lead to faster matchmaking times and fairer game lobbies as EA has access to a larger player base. Yet, there are players who may opt to disable it for personal reasons.
