We know for a fact that a lot of people were waiting for the latest Battlefield game, a series that many consider being even better than Call of Duty.

  • If you are into Battlefield 2042, you know that you can play with players from other platforms.
  • But, if you just want to be matched with fellow platform gamers, there’s not much you can do.
  • Only PlayStation fans have the option to turn cross-play on or off in the game’s settings menu.
  • However, this option is reportedly coming to Xbox as well, with the release of the upcoming patch.

But that’s another discussion, one too long to squeeze here at this moment. Many of you already know that creators have also enabled cross-play for PlayStation, PCs, and Xbox devices.

This means that you can play with friends across multiple platforms in All-Out Warfare, Hazard Zone, and Battlefield Portal.

However, Xbox players shouldn’t feel left out, because it has just been announced that they will gain a lot more control over this feature on Microsoft’s consoles.

Battlefield 2042 will have an On/Off switch for cross-play

Currently, cross-play is turned on as default and allows play between PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.

Cross-play between PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is also possible, but only between those two platforms due to limitations of the older hardware and the fact that these consoles cannot partake in 128-player battles.

But if you just want to play with your fellow Xbox fans, this is not possible at the moment, like it is on PlayStation consoles.

This is all about to change, however, as it has just been announced on Twitter:

So, soon, if you simply don’t want to be paired with players from PlayStation or PCs, you can choose this option from the game’s settings menu.

🎮 XBOX PLAYERS:

🛠️ DICE are currently testing the implementation of a working Crossplay “On/Off” switch, via the game settings for Xbox.The same way PlayStation have it.
