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...

Seeing the same issue on Xbox today (series x) Region UK.  Crossplay off, really hard to get into lobbies now some games it's impossible.

Portal and HZ have been dead since launch for me, no servers full then the game just times out.

Both 64 and 128 lobbies are dead, I just have to cycle around them till I get lucky takes around 10 mins average.

They really need to enable console crossplay.  I have no desire to play against mouse and keyboard setup.

@obscene I believe this is true for all "Crossplay OFF" lobbies. In my opinion the main issue is the current Party system. When you have Crossplay set to OFF and you join a friend that has Crossplay ON that you get the message, that you need to enable Crossplay. When you say okay, that actually changes your configuration. If you don't change it back, Crossplay is then enabled. Originally I thought it is a temporary change, for as long as I am in that party, but that isn't the case.

I guess a lot of players don't realize it, so everything sooner than later defaults to Crossplay ON.
