Console only (non-crossplay) lobbies are dead - current gen

I connect from Asia - the closest BF server location to me is Singapore, and I cannot find a game with cross-play off on the PS5. I've heard the same from friends in Australia and other parts of Asia. The only time I'd get to join a non-crossplay game is when I join a friend who's from Europe.

Are any other regions/platforms seeing the same?
