Why is crossplay forced on Xbox series X?

Getting my refund. Refuse to play forced crossplay games.
Thanks EA for saving me £80.
It's not a bug. Microsoft embraces crossplay and Sony was against it from the start and requires a way to turn it off in the game settings. Nobody disables crossplay on Xbox because Microsoft hides the option and chances are it's glitched anyway.
One of the reasons I prefer PlayStation over Xbox.
This is all a bit odd and seems like a bug at this time. During the beta I was able to turn crossplay on and off on my XBox Series X. I was testing it out to see how some games played against just consoles and how some played against crossplay (not well, I got melted by PC players).
So if it was in the beta on XBox I would highly doubt they would take it out for the final version.
I thought I saw on YouTube earlier too that it was a known glitch. But with my memory, who knows....
Damnit!
I feared this...as its the same with Warzone.
I was hoping that MS may have come to some sort of decision, with EA to allow us to turn it off in the game menus. EA/Dice should have told us (xbox users) clearly before people actually bought it.
Oh well, i'll play some later with the trial, then back to BF4 for another 8yrs...awaiting its equal lol
@OskooI_007 Its not that they embrace it, its they have no rules so publishers do as they please, Sony has rules.
@CyberDyme MS deal with EA is only marketing same with CoD and Sony. This is EA using Xbox users to prop up PC when the cheaters start same as all PC games.. There are many posts on reddit and on MS own forums about crossplay and as you can see they don't listen.
Shock horror sony allow it to be off - just shows how anti-consumer xbox platform really is
@1Hairy-GorillaMicrosoft has been pushing crossplay hard since the very beginning. They're using it to prop up player numbers on Xbox like you say. Most players have reported there's like 30 Xbox players in a server and the other 100 players are on PC.
There's probably very few PlayStation players in crossplay servers because most of them have figured out how to turn it off in the game menu.@OskooI_007 Same with CoD lobbies full of PC players with 1 console user >< me lol... Xbox in previous titles had the same player count as PC and around 1/3 less than PS4. Its not low Xbox player count at work somthing else or the game didn't sell well on console after the beta with no AA and PC crossplay who knows hehe.
After Warzone I'm sure many are like myself and nope as soon as forced crossplay comes up. Console Only crossplay like Apex with opt in PC is the way it should be.
- @OskooI_007 5 mates are seriously considering buying ps5 and selling our series x for this reason buddy
