"I’ve read lots of discussion around this topic. Has there ever been an official response?"
None that I have seen, the issue has not been addressed beyond the adding of the "opt-out" toggle, the problem with this is that many players are unaware (as it was not present at launch) or have already quit the game due to being constantly destroyed by players on PC.
There are more than enough players across PS5 and Series X/S, it's just that the games matchmaking algorithm seems to default to a 70/30 ratio of PC to console players effectively spreading them across many servers rather than grouping them together.
Almost everyone I know that plays on console hates this and either has stopped playing / switched to the last gen version of the game/ gone back to BFV or BF1 or is planning to make 2042 their last Battlefield purchase.
Have to agree, I'm still waiting to see this uber elite aimbotting console player wrecking havok on entire servers, most if not all crossplay matches I've seen the PC players top of the scoreboards
The PS5 playerbase is in a really weird place right now. Portal 5 servers (Europe)
Custom gamemodes barely 12 vs 12
Conquest stranded 24/7 fairs better with full games.
Rush empty
Breakthrough empty
Summery is the PS5 playerbase is being spread too thinly and used as a buffer for the PC base to fill the numbers .Past games you could almost gurantee a half dozen full to the brim servers.
PS5/Xbox crossplay is the way forward
