Disable crossplay on PC
How do I disable crossplay on PC? I don't want to have my games continue to be ruined by auto-aiming console heroes.
As far as I am aware there isn't an ability to turn off crossplay on pc

EA backtracks: No crossplay off for PC only. No console only crossplay
Man, this whole crossplay thing has been such a rollercoaster.
First we had an IGN interview where Ripple Effect’s Matthew Nickerson basically said that if you turned off crossplay, PS and Xbox players could still match together without PC.
That news was really well received by players that wanted the freedom to choose who to play against.
Now EA has come out and confirmed that’s not happening.
If you turn off crossplay on console, you only get matched with people on your same platform (PS with PS, Xbox with Xbox).
And on PC you can’t even turn it off at all, meaning you are forced to play against consoles whether you like it or not.
What sucks is that both sides wanted something here:
- Console players wanted console only crossplay to avoid cheaters and M&K advantages.
- PC players wanted the option to turn it off because of aim assist and Cronus.
Instead, nobody gets what they asked for.
Honestly feels like such a missed opportunity, and it just adds to the frustration with how EA communicates this stuff.
They should go back and actually implement these options, because it was clear that both console and PC players want them.
This needs to be reversed, if PC players feel like aim assist is op on controllers ( which I do) I'm stuck playing against them? That's crap, leave us our options don't give us less.

Do you know why the whole cross play situation didn't work out?.
Because when Xbox turns off cross play they're no longer console only, they still play with and against pc game pass. I see it all the time on Xbox games with cross play off. There's still pc gamers on pc game pass cos with Microsoft, everything is an Xbox. It screws Xbox over.
Playstation is different when cross play is off on ps it's console only.
Maybe playstation wouldn't allow the fake console only cross play that Microsoft offers and wanted players who choose to play against console to ONLY play against console.
But they won't come out n say that. Most Xbox players have no clue they're still playing against pc players with cross play off.
