Why is there no Console Only Cross-Play?
We should get console crossplay only so me and my friend can play together without being killed every 2 seconds by some xtreme fast pcplayer.
they have unfair advantages over console players… ...

Here’s the choices n small Oceania region :
1. Enable cross-play in the game get totally hammer by all PC players op vehicles op Helis and op snipers and not enjoying the gameplay at all (endless killed and respawn loop)
or
2. Turn off crossplay and never get to play a match of any mode including portal 16x16 players retro games
No choice really - delete it and never play again ???
@Passdogs_dad I have the exact same experience. It's frustrating. There's a lot of post on this forum like this (asking for crossplay between consoles only) but DICE simply don't say a word.
@IM1sfiT__ Console only crossplay is the thing I'm hoping for most in this game so we have more full servers without having to play against PC users. DICE hinted at it when they were talking about the technical playtest but I don't know if its ever been confirmed.
To quote the article:
"Cross-play in Battlefield 2042 beyond the Technical Playtest
We are still building cross-play functionality, and the first opportunity for us to test it with a wider, invite-only group will be within the Technical Playtest. Right now, we’d like to give you an understanding of what we’re looking to achieve as final functionality beyond the Technical Playtest, so here is an overview of what you can expect that to look like:
- PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®5 system (PC and console can opt-out from playing together)"
Take from that what you will, but I take it as being able to have the option of having crossplay between consoles only. If anyone has any recent information on this topic from DICE that I have missed please share.
I'm no dev, but it may be simpler to add input based servers, since COD has already done this. Simple is probably a stretch though, I doubt this is a quick fix to the game. PUBG has crossplay between Xbox and PS only as well. I think that input based servers would be best while adding K+M support for consoles. That would make everyone happy and solve two of the most talked about topics on this forum.
I’ve played all BF games since it started - loved every minute of it until BFV where the games s became COD with vehicles. Played BFBF2, BFBC, BFBC2, BF3 on PC then all the cheaters wrecked the game. Bought BF3 and 4, BF1 on Xbox and PlayStation and had a great time. Truly amazing !. Then I bought BFV and found that BF had degenerated to COD with vehicles hybrid. After that battlefield 2042 is released and I find it more like fortnite and COD. NOT ENJOYING 2042 THIS AT ALL Portal is fantastic but i can hardly find a match. Maybe I m just too old for this style of game now. Pity as I’m now retired and was looking for BF3 and 4 style experiences and there are none
Crossplay is a god awful on PS5 - surely they are going to do something about it. Maybe only listening to PC player complaints ? Funny that none of their hirer YouTube creators play on PS5 0r Xbox (there are those that say they do but are lying) How is it that PC players that overwhelmingly hate the game are pandered to. It’s also funny that PC haters are all playing the game ? SILK absolutely unloaded on the game and now plays it all day ???
if EA DICE do not address the crossplay on console issue they wont get the holiday sales coming up.
That would kill the franchise all together and they really deserve to go broke for all their liying
its sad because I paid a lot for my PS5 (4x the minimum salary of Brazil per month) and instead of being benefited, we are harmed by the producer.
The solution is simple, enable crossplay between current and last generation consoles.
With all PS4, XONE, PS5 and XSERIES players playing together the player base will once again be the biggest and matches will be fairer as everyone will be using controller.

@GuTOHGT I know it's not quite what you're asking for but, since last gen players can't play the current gen version, some editions of the game let you download and play the last gen version on PS5/Xbox Series. What version of the game do you have
