Player count on PS5 low?

Question

Every time you leave a server mid game (for whatever reason) and try joining a new one, it seems there are no other servers available and you get put on an almost empty one waiting, that eventually expires. Are there really so few players on EU PS5 console only (i.e. Conquest) or is it something related to queue logic implemented?

This is not new unfortunately as it is happening for at least a year, regardless of which time of the day, morning, afternoon or evening.

Probably a matchmaking problem. The 2042 PC population hasn't dropped off.https://steamcharts.com/app/1517290Is this with crossplay on or off?

Hello @giacospace

As a PS5 player, I can say that I can join mutiple Servers with CrossPlay Off. There are many, many players on PS5 in EU Region. 🙂

Xbox struggles more... But the best thing is to play with CrossPlay On so anyone can play with their friends and other Platforms.

@WindowsManTv_CZE Thanks for the feedback. The problem is not on finding a server to play, a few available are always there probably. The problem I encounter as I wrote, is when you leave a server mid game and try to join a new one. It puts you in an empty one most of the times and if you are lucky people will come in the the minutes or the game expires and you have to queue again.

@OskooI_007 Cross play Off.Honestly I still play older BF titles and leaving a server mid game and joining a new one has not resulted in any queue problem. And I'm assuming the player base in BFV or BF1 is even lower.That is why I'm not sure logic wise something is off.
