Crossplay in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6: A Double-Edged Sword

Cross-platform play has revolutionized online gaming, but it's not without its drawbacks. This guide explains how to disable crossplay in Black Ops 6 and weighs the pros and cons.

The primary reason players disable crossplay is for a more level playing field. Console players (Xbox and PlayStation) often want to avoid PC players due to the inherent advantages of mouse and keyboard controls – superior aiming precision. The potential for encountering cheaters and modders is another significant concern, even with anti-cheat measures like Ricochet. Disabling crossplay theoretically reduces the likelihood of encountering these issues.

However, a major downside is a significantly smaller player pool, leading to longer matchmaking times and potentially poorer connections.

Should You Disable Crossplay? Consider the Trade-offs.

Crossplay Settings in Black Ops 6

How to Disable Crossplay in Black Ops 6

Disabling crossplay is simple:

  1. Access the Account & Network settings within Black Ops 6, Warzone, or the main Call of Duty menu.
  2. Locate the Crossplay and Crossplay Communications toggles (often near the top).
  3. Toggle the setting from "On" to "Off" (using X or A on controllers).

Note: The setting might be greyed out in certain modes like Ranked Play, where crossplay is sometimes mandatory. However, Black Ops 6 Season 2 should offer more control over this setting, even in competitive modes.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
