Please provide console-only crossplay

After playing the Battlefield 6 beta, I strongly feel console-only crossplay should be an option.

PC players have big advantages in FPS games: mouse & keyboard precision, higher FOV, longer view distances, and unfortunately a higher chance of running into cheaters. On top of that, input spoofing allows PC players to use mouse & keyboard while the game registers them as controller users, bypassing input-based matchmaking entirely. Even without cheating, these differences make matches feel unbalanced for console players.

Other major shooters, including Call of Duty, now support console-only crossplay to keep competition fair. Battlefield should offer the same so console players can enjoy an even playing field.

  • I agree, consoles players have a big disadvantage to mouse and keyboard. It was the sole reason I stopped playing battlefield 2042, yet have countless hours in battlefield 4. Repeating this mistake will lead to many abandoning the game if they can't find a match with cross play turned off. Such a great game to be ruined by a feature no console player wants. If it wasn't set by default it would be okay, but most people don't know to turn it off and think they are just bad at the game.
