@fixateliveDon't think it's a good idea. Battlefield games are mostly played on PC, so if they turn off crossplay by default, you won't find a match, in fact, you already can't find a match without crossplay on consoles. Even if you do, you'll play against bots.
@Jozso987 What country do you play in? I asked you this before in the thread you created but you never replied. I've been jumping between country's out of interest trying from their point of view and seeing how busy they are as part of a theory I had. I'm in the UK and have had pretty much no problems finding a full game on PS5 with crossplay off. Thanks
This was my concern when I first heard about crossplay and hoped it would be 'Off' by default.
I did try crossplay during the 10 hour EA trial and had I not known about it or realised it could be turn off, I would NOT have got the game.
Your hypothesis about console gamers (and possibly some PC players) banging out because of it is quite plausible if not quantifiable.
