I believe Console Preferred/Prioritised matchmaking is bugged
Quoting Alexia Christofi
”Eyy not quite, it's crossplay on or off - but if crossplay is on we treat it as console preferred crossplay, so we'll try and matchmake you with others playing on console before falling back to full crossplay if we can't find you a match with only/mostly console players.”
Also from Battlefield 6 Mission Brief forums
Consoles — Cross‑play ON: We prioritise placing you in console‑only servers, but you may enter a larger cross‑platform pool depending on population
This from my experience on PS5 (UK) is completely false and I’ve been experiencing the exact opposite from what has been stated with crossplay set to ON.
Every single one of my matches are PC dominant with around 20% being console users, sometimes even lower.
I’ve not had a single instance of being “prioritised into console-only servers”
It’s the exact same matchmaking when I’m on my PC.
This has led me to believe that the system simply does not work currently?
