Private matches has a 30 player requirement
Edit/Update: Private matches confirmed with a minimum requirement of 30 players plus no LTMs meaning control, gun run or the other modes. Arenas is available though which is good. Check the next post (solution) for more info.
According to ThordanSmash, there’s a player number requirement to use the private matches. Not clear what the requirements are yet. This is Respawn and there’s always a catch with the features they release. LOL.
What is the minimum number of players? How about control, gun run and arenas?
According to Thordan, private matches will be great for content creators as they can easily host their own tournaments or events (essy to fill up the whole lobby) but disappointing for the people who have a few friends that they just want to play around.
This might be weird coming from me but I’m actually excited for Arenas private matches if it will be a thing. 3 of my IRL friends are on PC players and 4 of us on console so we can have these PC vs Console matches. LOL.
