Can I turn off Crossplay (PC)
Title. Can I turn off Crossplay. If not why?

I would also like to know if it's possible to turn off Crossplay on PC.
And while we're at it, here's a serious criticism. Aim assist on consoles is completely out of control. If the goal is to support cross-platform multiplayer, then it should be done fairly. Right now, PC players are at a major disadvantage. While we're trying to aim precisely with a mouse, controller players have aim assist that practically locks onto targets. It completely breaks the balance of the gameplay.
On top of that, the FoV on PC is ridiculously limited, which makes the game feel clunky and uncomfortable to play. PC has always been known for customization, and limiting something as essential as field of view is a major step backward.
The bullet physics are also depressing. Bullets fly straight like in Call of Duty, which doesn't feel anything like traditional Battlefield gameplay. It seems like the bullet physics were intentionally simplified to make aim assist work better. If that's the case, it's a shortcut that seriously harms the game and gives even more advantage to controller users in a crossplay environment.
All of this combined — overpowered aim assist, simplified bullet physics, restricted FoV — is the Achilles' heel of cross-platform multiplayer. It urgently needs to be rebalanced if the goal is to deliver a fair and enjoyable experience for everyone.
AA is a cancer in game anymore. It's gotten so out of control with how OP it gets year after year. Between my age (58) and that I game old-school with using only my wrist and not my full arm for mouse movement... I'm already at a massive disadvantage in most game. But to then be pooped on by literal no-skilled AA time after time is pathetic. Snapping from one player to the next across the map and getting mostly headshots... it's like CoD all over again. I honestly miss the days of BF2 and Dedi servers... when there was no crossplay garbage.
I often wonder if console players can use the aim assist to track players through smoke, always consoles players when checking who killed me.
I only have cross play turned on for 2042 or I would spend hours waiting for a game but I do prefer it turned off.
