Battlefield 6’s crossplay connects PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC players to expand matchmaking pools and help find active lobbies faster.
By default, it uses what DICE calls a “console-preferred” system, where PlayStation and Xbox players are grouped together first before PC players are considered to fill open spots.
This setup helps avoid the immediate mouse-and-keyboard advantage in most lobbies, but for some players, it still isn’t enough.
Many console players avoid competing against PC users because PCs have cheating risks, faster aiming, and higher frame rates. Others simply want a level playing field where everyone uses the same control setup.
How Do You Disable Crossplay in Battlefield 6?
Console gamers can turn off crossplay in Battlefield 6 using a built-in toggle; the process is simple but comes with certain limits.
From the main menu, open the Settings menu using the gear icon in the top right. Navigate to the System tab and scroll to the Setup section, where you’ll see the Cross-Play option.
Switch it to Off to ensure you only match with players on your exact platform—PS5 with PS5, Xbox with Xbox.
It’s worth noting that you can’t change this setting while you’re in a party, in matchmaking, or already connected to a server, so be sure to exit any ongoing sessions first.
Can PC Players Turn Off Crossplay?
PC players don’t have the same option; crossplay is always enabled between PC storefronts like Steam, Epic Games, and EA App.
For console players, however, disabling it can mean slower matchmaking or an increased number of AI-controlled bots in certain modes, especially during off-peak hours or in smaller regions.
With it on, matches typically happen faster and include players of different skill levels. Ultimately, the choice comes down to whether you value matchmaking speed or platform exclusivity more.
