Just curious if someone can help me. When I go into portal there are only a handful of private servers available to pick from and most are empty. I do have the Xbox's Crossplay feature turned off so I don't get absolutely worked by the PC guys (I know you guys are laughing right now). I'm guessing that's it but wanted to hear other Xbox Series X users experiences with the same set up. That and I know that XP and progression are currently nerfed while Dice figures some things out. Any help would be appreciated.

@Failsafe You have to turn crossplay back on if on Series X to find a portal server populated properly to get in. That is the experience I had with portal.

@Marrked Series S? BF4 was a launch title on the badly selling Xbox one and it wasn't hard to find games lol. And even more reason to add console only crossplay if that is the reason or it just sold bad and player drop off is worst or same as BFV.

@ghinavirus Yeah thats what I suspected. Thanks man!

@Marrked The reason for the question is I'm getting completely full XsX only All out War servers consistently. No problems there with the Cross Play tuned off. Just portal.

@Failsafe No problem for AOW for me (at least until very recently), but Portal was always empty from day one with xplay off. All I see is 2 or 3 servers with always less than 10 players, 2 or 3 most of the time.

Portal is Empty - Xbox Series X - Crossplay Turned off.

@xXGugusseXx Yeah that is why I asked the question. AOW is flush with XBOX only players with it turned off. Just empty on Portal.

Think about how hard it is to find a series X. Now remember that Xbox One has their own version of the game and cannot match with you on the Series X.
There isn't enough players to have cross-play turned off.

Exact same, cross play off on Series X, Portal a ghost town unless u turn cross play back, which does seem strange when AOW servers full to the brim.
Thought some Series X only servers might have had a decent population this early in the game. But the XP loss is an obvious turn off for most people.

As a pc player with crossplay turned on portal mode has not had a full server in awhile but there is a few active rooms to get into.
Too me this is like battlefield hardline all over again in terms of population decline.
