Playing with friends is a huge part of what makes online games like Battlefield so much fun. But what happens when your friends are on a different console? That's where crossplay comes in, and it's a big topic for anyone excited about Battlefield 6. It's the one feature that can unite the entire player base, no matter what platform they're on.

So, let's get right to it. Yes, Battlefield 6 has full crossplay. This means you can team up with or play against people on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. No one gets left behind just because they bought a different box.

How Does Crossplay Work in Battlefield 6?

Crossplay in Battlefield 6 is designed to be pretty smart. By default, it's turned on, so you'll be matched with players from all platforms. The game does try to keep console players (PlayStation 5 and Xbox) matched together first to keep the playing field level. I remember hoping this would be the case; my first match was with my buddy who plays on Xbox while I was on my PS5. We were worried it would feel unbalanced, but the matchmaking did a great job of pairing us with other console players, and it was a blast. It only pulls in PC players when it needs to find a suitable match quickly, which is a great touch.

Of course, not everyone wants to play against PC players, especially if you're on a console. The mouse and keyboard combination can sometimes give PC players an edge in aiming.

If you prefer to stick to your own kind, you can easily turn crossplay off in the game's settings. Here’s a quick rundown of why you might want to leave it on or turn it off:

• Leave it on: Faster matchmaking times and you can play with friends on other platforms.
• Turn it off: You'll only play against people on the same console as you, which some players feel makes for fairer matches.

I tried turning it off for a while just to see the difference. While the matches felt a bit more consistent in terms of player skill, I did notice it took longer to find a game during off-peak hours. After a few days, I turned it back on because, for me, playing with a wider variety of people (and my friends on PC) was more important.

Ultimately, having the option for crossplay is a huge win for gamers. It breaks down the walls between platforms and lets everyone just enjoy the game together. Whether you're coordinating attacks with your cross-platform squad or just jumping into a quick match, Battlefield 6 makes it easy to connect with players everywhere.
