The reverse is also true: when a PC player is already in the Clubs match lobby, a console player cannot enter.

Before that, PC and console players were able to play Clubs together normally.

4. Try to gather in the same Clubs match lobby.
5. Observe that the player from the other platform cannot enter the lobby.
