So who's turning cross-play on?

Haha 😃👿

@LordVader666 yes i know, Old-gen play together and New-gen play together + PC.

Just mentioned New-gen as you said you will play Xbox Series X. 

So PS4 and Xbox One play if Cross-play is enabled. If not, then only PS4 and only Xbox One.

PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC (all 3) together if Cross-play is enabled. If not, then it's only PS5, only Xbox Series X/S and onyl PC.

Old-gen and New-gen are not able to play together!

Only if you for example play the Xbox One version of the game on your Xbox Series X, then you can play with friends that play directly on their Xbox One. It's just cause you use the same game version.

@Its_Travis_199  Just to be clear PS5 ed can't play with the PS4 ed players unless you got the same version of the game.

@1Hairy-Gorilla exactly.

Cause it's not about the console itself, it's about the game version.

If you buy the Gold or Ultimate edition of Battlefield 2042, it includes the PS4 and PS5 version. (same for Xbox)

So if you play PS5 but installed and start up the PS4 version, you can play with your PS4 buddies.

If you play the PS5 version it's not possible to play together with Old-gen cause they only have the PS4 version.

I'll be leaving it on, but on PC so it's not exactly a risky proposition vs "normal" queues, and the very few people i know that stick to console only can actually join the rest of us.

We haven't had a beta yet, so it might be a mute point to discuss what we will do.

• we don't know, if we will have cross play
  the result of the technical playtest may have even been, not to to support cross play at all
• assume we get cross play, what possible options do we get
  • currently imagined groups are
    • gen 9 consoles + pc
    • gen 8 consoles
  • but there is already asked for options to play
    • Xbox crossgen
    • PlayStation crossgen
  • does apply cross play to all three parts of the game the same way, or will be Hazard Zone a bigger pool gen8 + gen9 + pc
  • Opt-in / Opt-out and what option will we have
  • does that result in cross play / non cross play servers, or does it only work during matchmaking
  • How will joining friends work

So many unanswered topics, we can't really discuss until we see something we can compare it to.

Maybe we encounter the people that start a match with a controller + aim assist and then switch to keyboard + mouse + aim assist, because the game didn't detect or react on the switch.

I know people from both parties (console + pc) want the option to opt out.

I assume the most likely reason is, that it becomes so much harder to spot the cheaters, since most players won't be able to recognize what is possible to do on the other platform. 

I for my part will start with the default. And I expect that to be enabled crossplay when it will be available.

But taking my experience with COD:MW into account, I will be a candidate to disable crossplay, if I make the same experiences, or complain when I can't opt-out. 

I don't see myself playing against PC outside of events and Portal related fun matches. If numbers are low on PS5 I can always boot up my PS4 version to play with friends (and in theory, Xbox as well)

@kregora  But we do a Dice dev on resetera cleared up the whole crossplay mixed wording tweet. Its all in or single platform.

If its got device input then what ever you select the other is dead. Can't swap mid game for example.

NO, we want PC crossplay to be OPT IN. not out. lol no1 will turn it off or know you can. Per the same dev 10% turn if off in other games.
