Crossplay is one of the greatest innovations in gaming, bridging the gap between various proprietary platforms and allowing players to venture out together no matter their device.
But in first-person shooters, some simply do not like it, especially PC players. Aim assist and various other advantages afforded to console players to “even the playing field” tend to go a little overboard, making the controller superior to mouse and keyboard.
Thankfully, the PC is home to mods and tinkering, so if you want to disable crossplay, here is how you can do so.
How to disable crossplay in Battlefield 6 (PC only)
While there is no button to turn crossplay off in Battlefield 6, unlike in many other shooters these days, it can still be done, and all it takes is some text file editing in the game’s installation directory.
To disable crossplay, follow these steps:
- Navigate to Documents/Battlefield 6/settings/steam and open the PROFSAVE_profile file with Notepad.
- At the very bottom of the list, add the following command: GstGameplay.CrossPlayEnable 0.
- Save the file and exit.
And that’s it; the next time you fire the game up, you will only be matched with players on PC, with no console users in sight. This should also only apply to the official queue, as Portal has its own user-set rules that may or may not allow various controller-based advantages such as aim assist. Therefore, if you don’t want to go through the hassle of disabling crossplay, merely find a Portal server that did it for you.
