EA/DICE killed this game on Xbox.
- They removed the ability to turn off crossplay inside the game menu
- No mouse and keyboard support on Xbox, but are forced to play against PC mouse players sitting in magic gaming chairs
Meanwhile PlayStation players disabled crossplay inside the game and are having fun playing against other console players using a controller.
@OskooI_007 Thats why we need Xbox and PS crossplay only. it would benefit the game. PC is always the larger player base so they should always have players to populate servers.
Curious how this weeks patch helps the game.

- @ghinavirus I believe PS is by far the largest player base.
It's PC and X-Box that are relatively speaking quite small in comparison.
I get why Cross Play sucks at the moment for X-Box players but in terms of longevity it should be of benefit to both platforms.
Apart from obviously playing with friends Cross Play offers little to the PS player base.Yeah but in every game the player count is droping even the strange news which is comparing Farming Simulator 22 with BF2042 is already dropping numbers
and i had no problem to find a game since early acces and cross play of on pc (EU region)
and there where only a handful games which are not full so i think this there still a enough player who playing it
and i had only two DX12 erros in 120h so ist quite stable for me^^
I'm looking forward what the next patch will bring us^^
- @CountSero There will be more than enough players at any point in time between now and until the next Battlefield is released.
Im not sure why people seem worried. Every battlefield game has started of with massive drops in the active playerbase because of bugs and issues. BF4 was horrible at release.
None of the games have ever died. There's always plenty of players left at the end of the day. This game won't be any different.

Apart from obviously playing with friends Cross Play offers little to the PS player base.I'm a PS5 owner and that's pretty much the way I view it. There really is no benefit of cross-play for me. That might change if perhaps I had a friend with an XB but I don't. All of my buddies are on PS4 and PS5. .....so really the only thing that matters to me for MP is cross-gen so I can still play with those friends of mine that can't or won't buy a PS5. We also prefer to use PS comms rather than in-game voice chat most times so again, that limits us to those of us on PS platforms.
Not that I would mind cross-play but I would only consider it with PS and XB players in a game like this (not PC). ....but to your point, unless the player pool for PS is low, I don't see an upside for it.
