While crossplay is an overall excellent feature that every multiplayer game should support, it does introduce some flaws when console and PC players are matched against one another. Hacking is still prevalent on PC despite many measures to stop it, and it can result in an unfair experience for console users — and the PC players doing things fairly. For years now, PS5 and PS4 players have urged one another to completely disable crossplay in Call of Duty games and Warzone to prevent being matchmade with PC users who could be cheating.
Now, though, a new crossplay option that arrives in Thursday's Season 3 patch makes that decision much easier. Activision is implementing a new crossplay option for Black Ops 6 and Warzone that lets you restrict matchmaking to only other players on consoles, filtering out anyone on a PC. This setting will be available for unranked and ranked multiplayer matches, and ranked Warzone games.
It's warned that enabling this option may extend your matchmaking times, but given there was hardly ever a wait when players turned crossplay off entirely on PS5 and PS4, this shouldn't be an issue due to the large player base on consoles. On PC, players are able to hack the game in a variety of ways to give themselves many different advantages. This could result in you being killed through no fault of your own.
Another two crossplay options will be available alongside the new one, either disabling the feature entirely or opening your matches up to every platform. As part of Thursday's Season 3 update, the classic Warzone map Verdansk returns to the Battle Royale shooter. There'll also be new multiplayer maps, modes, and weapons.
