In the last decade, the gaming landscape has transformed significantly, with cross-platform play evolving from a distant dream to an everyday reality. This shift has brought the *Call of Duty* community closer together, but it's not without its challenges. If you're playing *Black Ops 6* and considering disabling crossplay, here’s a detailed look at why you might want to and how to do it.

Should You Disable Crossplay in Black Ops 6? Answered

Opting to disable crossplay in *Black Ops 6* can feel like a double-edged sword. The primary motivation for many players is to ensure a more level playing field. Console gamers on Xbox and PlayStation often seek to avoid competing against PC players due to the inherent advantages PC players have, such as the precision of mouse and keyboard controls over a traditional controller. This difference can significantly impact gameplay, with mouse and keyboard offering more accurate aiming capabilities.

Additionally, PC players may have easier access to mods and cheats. Despite *Call of Duty*'s Ricochet Anti-Cheat system, *Black Ops 6* and *Warzone* players have reported frequent encounters with hackers and cheaters. Disabling crossplay is thought to potentially reduce these encounters, leading to a fairer gaming environment.

However, there's a significant drawback to turning off crossplay. It drastically reduces the pool of players available for matchmaking, which can result in longer wait times for matches and potentially poorer connection quality. From our experience, disabling crossplay often leads to extended search times and can affect the overall gaming experience.

How To Turn Off Crossplay in Black Ops 6

Black Ops 6 Crossplay Settings

Disabling crossplay in *Black Ops 6* is a straightforward process. Navigate to the Account & Network settings where you'll find the Crossplay and Crossplay Communications toggle at the top. Simply scroll to these settings and press X or A to switch the setting from On to Off. This can be done directly within *Black Ops 6*, *Warzone*, or from the main *Call of Duty* HQ page. Note that in the image above, the Crossplay setting was accessed by favoriting it and adding it to Quick Settings for easier access.

You might encounter the setting greyed out and locked at times, particularly in modes like Ranked Play. *Call of Duty* has previously mandated crossplay in certain modes, ostensibly for fairness, though the results can be quite the opposite. Fortunately, starting from Season 2 of *Black Ops 6*, players will have the option to disable crossplay even in these high-stakes modes, giving you more control over your gaming experience.

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