How to Turn Off Crossplay

Disabling crossplay in Warzone offers significant benefits for those using consoles. By opting out of cross-platform matchmaking, players can ensure a more level playing field where opponents share similar control setups, promoting fair competition. This move also addresses hardware inequalities such as frame rates and graphics enhancements often available to PC gamers.

Moreover, console players can avoid potential frustrations tied to cheating, prevalent in PC gaming circles. External software used by cheaters can disrupt the integrity of gameplay, making the option to disable crossplay an appealing choice for maintaining a fair gaming environment.

Turning Off Crossplay in Warzone for Console Users

Steps for Xbox Users

When using an Xbox, disabling crossplay is done through the system settings rather than in the game itself. Here's a concise guide to do this:

1. Navigate to the Xbox Dashboard and select Settings.
2. Under the General category, choose Online Safety & Family.
3. Proceed to Privacy & Online Safety, then choose Xbox Privacy.
4. Go to View Details & Customize and select Communication & Multiplayer.
5. Locate the option that says „You can join cross-network play“ and set it to Block.

This action will disable crossplay not only in Warzone but for all games that utilize Xbox Live multiplayer features.

Instructions for PlayStation Users

The process for PlayStation users is more straightforward and can be completed directly from the game. Follow these instructions:

1. Open Warzone and access the main menu.
2. Use the Options button to open Settings.
3. Go to the Account & Network section.
4. Find and select the Crossplay setting.
5. Set the Crossplay option to Disabled.

Disabling crossplay can lead to longer matchmaking times due to a smaller player pool. Additionally, some features or events in Warzone that depend on crossplay may not be fully accessible.
