Crossplay settings can significantly impact your multiplayer experience, especially in an FPS game such as CoD: Black Ops 6. Mouse and keyboard players often have an advantage in precision aiming, while controller players benefit from aim assist.

By turning off crossplay, you can compete exclusively with others using the same input method. To turn off crossplay in Black Ops 6, follow these steps:

Xbox Crossplay Settings

Xbox requires a system-level change to disable crossplay. Here are the steps:

  1. Access the Home screen and select Settings (cog wheel icon)
  2. Go to General
  3. Select Online safety and family
  4. Choose Privacy and online safety
  5. Click Xbox privacy
  6. Select View details and customize
  7. Open Communication and multiplayer
  8. Block the “You can join cross-network play” option

PlayStation Crossplay Settings

PlayStation offers a more straightforward process through the game settings:

  1. Enter any game lobby
  2. Press the Options button
  3. Select Settings (cog wheel)
  4. Choose Account and Network
  5. Locate Crossplay and turn it off

PC Crossplay Limitations

Currently, PC players cannot disable crossplay in Black Ops 6. This limitation means PC players must participate in cross-platform matchmaking. Future updates may introduce this feature, but for now, it remains unavailable.

Summary

While PlayStation offers the simplest solution for disabling crossplay, Xbox users need to make system-wide changes. PC players currently have no option to disable crossplay.

These settings help create a more balanced gaming experience, particularly for console players who prefer to compete within their platform’s ecosystem.

Remember that turning off crossplay in Black Ops 6 might increase matchmaking times due to a smaller pool of available players. Consider this trade-off when deciding whether to disable the feature.
