Re: Why is there no Console Only Cross-Play?

Ah it may be at the moment but I’d expect better from DICE. This was already an issue for WARZONE and COD in general and you’d think they’d have been able to read the room on this one.

Apex Legends does crossplay right.

• Console vs console crossplay enabled by default
• The only way to crossplay with PC is if a console player invites a PC player into the lobby

I'm surprised DICE isn't using the exact same crossplay system, seeing how upper management at DICE report directly to Vince Zampella at Respawn Entertainment now.

Nothing is set in stone - Apex has a type of PC opt-out for example so we'll just have to wait and see

@CptDuffy i would also like it to see the option to Opt-out only from Cross-play with PC and still be able to stick with the Xbox players.

But as it's been confirmed for now is that it's set like "All or nothing".

So at this point we have to wait and see if any changes are coming for this.

Then fix the cheating..

Not a bad idea but lets start by making sure strike packs and other mods on console are made to be obsolete to make playing the game a better experience for all console players.

At this point I don't see an issue with splitting the player base, I agree with most here EA/DICE need to change "Cross play" to "Off" for the good of the game.

First time commenting on these BF forums but I have to agree with the OP. I think the default setting should be "Console vs. Console crossplay only" and then have it so that players can OPT IN to "Console/PC crossplay" if they so desire. I think the vast majority of console players would be more happy with this.

Heck, I have a friend who plays on PC and I'd gladly stop playing with him if it meant I'm only playing against console players. Going back to BFV and BF1 is so much more fun for various reasons but no PC players is certainly one of them. The extremely large engagement distances that 2042 allows is one of the problems that Console/PC crossplay exasperates.

At this stage of the game's life, I wouldn't expect a change on this topic. Perhaps Console only crossplay will be one of the "goodies" in the new battlefield. Sad, but most likely true.

It's not that Dice doesn't listen to us - they just want to have as many tricks up their sleeve as possible.

Same with the server browser - they will make something "big" out of it by adding it to the new Battlefield, deliberately ignoring players' opinions for now.

For sure no console only crossplay in this game but we fight for the next game. On Xbox Series with crossplay off you cant even find 64p matches with all humans. You have to switch to the old gen version to get a proper console experience (but BF1 is still better). So for xbox pairing with PS is a necessity. At least in Europe. Playing against PC is pointless. Old gen vs current gen versions are two different games when it comes to enjoyment on gamepad.
