Summarize your bug Go into your Soldier's "General / Options - Other" section, where you can select to opt in or out of CrossPlay by choosing OFF or ON. Here it appears as being ON by default. But when going to the toggle switch, the option is actually disabled to be toggled as you want. So it is not possible to choose to select OFF for CrossPlay. It is forced ON permanently.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Follow the steps as described above, on how to get to that plave in the menu where you change your preference for CrossPlay ON/OFF: Go into your Soldier's "General / Options - Other" section, where you can select to opt in or out of CrossPlay by choosing OFF or ON. Here it appears as being ON by default. But when going to the toggle switch, the option is actually disabled to be toggled as you want. So it is not possible to choose to select OFF for CrossPlay. It is forced ON permanently.
What happens when the bug occurs? You do not have the option to put CrossPlay to OFF as we wanted it to be. We are forced to be in CrossPlay by default, no matter if we want to or not.
What should be happening instead? We should have the toogle switch working instead, so we can set our preference to CrossPlay = OFF.
Screenshot of the disabled CrossPlay toggle switch in your Soldier's "General / Options - Other" section:
And yes, we are aware of the pre-requisite conditions for this toggle function to be available. But despite adhering to all the conditions, then the option to set CrossPlay to OFF is still not possible...
Thank you to get this bug fixed ASAP. 🙏

Summarize your bug Can't play console only cross play!
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? You know it's there you told us!
What happens when the bug occurs? I play with PC players!
What should be happening instead? Console only cross play
Why did you not mention to us CONSOLE gamers that we won't be able to play console only cross play as stated by you!!
You stated before the technical play test that xbox series x and ps5 can opt out of PC lobbies and play cross platform console only lobbies! Now you do a complete 180 and state that won't be happening!
This was a main reason I bought the game!!!
Absolutely garbage false advertising!
Fix this please!
- @TheSainnnt Dice you must fix this!
Me too, i have buy the game on Xbox SX because in the beta it was possible to desactivate the crossplay and in the final release it's not possible, it's write on the option to desactive it directly with the xbox live network but it's not a good solution.
Hi @TheSainnnt ,
I had already opened a bug report on this problem!
Please also note that it is not correct that you write we have 'no console only crossplay', as it is working fine on PlayStation!
It is only on the xbox that this appears to be bugged...
- Hi @CyberDyme
This isn't just for the cross play button in the menu for xbox.
This is notifying EA that they stated prior to the technical play test you can have console only lobbies (PS5 and XBOX SERIES X) when turning off cross play.
Now they changed their minds and stated yesterday that if you turn off cross play on Xbox series X/S you will only get Xbox series X/S lobbies. Not console lobbies.
Ive attached two screen shots in my first message showing them stating that.
fix this problem ea!!!

@Karahanhasan As stated in the screenshots above there is no only console cross play its cross-play on or off. Off means you will only with the platform people you are on. If XsX means you will only play with people from XsX.

/AticAttached is what was advertised for the game @EA_Atic
What you have advertised and what you have delivered are two different products.
Off to halo we go...
100% Agree with this assessment.
Xbox players need a better way to opt out of playing with PC. Forcing us to use our console settings to disable crossplay is not the answer.
Also I’m sure Xbox players have no issue playing with PS5 players so why has that not been addressed either?
What are they doing??? So mad at this. Don’t even deserve my money.
Did Dice officially say it won’t be happening?
I’ve been blowing (nicely and respectable like) them up on Reddit, twitter, EA.com, etc about this.
‘’can’t believe series x players can’t opt out of playing with PC but still with PlayStation 5 players. What’s the problem?
- Agree and crossplay should not be on by default and forcing console players with pc. Other games like rocket league and riders republic have the disable crossplay option ingame but battlefield you have to go through your Xbox settings it's a annoyance.
