Battlefield 6 Has the Perfect Solution for Crossplay

In Battlefield 6, it is said that crossplay multiplayer could be an adjustable feature. This means that players using PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S will not be compelled to battle against PC users if they prefer not to. If this turns out to be accurate, EA might have additional plans for those who choose to enable this feature.

Even though Battlefield 6 isn’t set to launch until October 10, it’s already doing well in advance with strong pre-sale orders. This highly anticipated first-person shooter game currently tops sales charts on Steam and PlayStation 5, despite stiff competition from Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, which is also planned for release by the end of 2025.

Battlefield 6 Reportedly Won’t Make Console and PC Players Compete through Crossplay

EA delighted potential Battlefield 6 players on Steam with news that they won’t need to launch the EA app to play the game, only requiring registration with an EA account. However, there was no formal statement about crossplay in this announcement. Later information tweeted by CharlieIntel suggests that crossplay may be incorporated, though it would not be compulsory. Those who prefer to disable it would have the choice to do so.

According to CharlieIntel’s report, Battlefield 6 developers are preparing unique solutions for players who want crossplay enabled. It seems they’re planning to optimize the matchmaking system so it predominantly groups console players with other console users. Only when there’s a vacancy in console-heavy lobbies will PC players be added. This approach aims to maintain fairness, as crossplay games can sometimes disadvantage console players due to the versatility and customization options of PC platforms, which may lead to an unfair advantage for PC users over console ones when it comes to control precision and settings customization.

The performance of frame rates in games like Battlefield 6 might cause a split between PC and console gamers. Although CharlieIntel couldn’t verify if the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X versions of Battlefield 6 will run smoothly at 120 frames per second, it’s been indicated that the game includes an option for performance mode. An open beta for Battlefield 6 starts on August 7 for early access players, so we might get more details about crossplay then.
