In many ways, crossplay is a great thing: it enables us to play with friends who don’t share the same platform as us. It was initially very highly requested and has been backed by Microsoft for years. However, Xbox gamers are now looking for a way to opt-out of crossplay.
This is due to popular shooter games like Halo Infinite and Call of Duty dealing with cheaters in the competitive space. Free-to-play titles suffer greatly, as hackers can just create another account following a ban. While there’s an option to disable crossplay in Call of Duty: Warzone, if you try to load into a playlist on Xbox it will force you to re-enable it. On PlayStation, however, you can dismiss the prompt and continue to the playlist with crossplay still disabled. Warzone players on Xbox have been complaining about this forced crossplay for over a year, through comments, YouTube videos, forum discussions, and more.
Cheaters or no cheaters, though, shooters are easier to play with a mouse. But I, like many gamers, find playing with a controller to be a more fun experience. Plenty of console gamers don’t own a PC fit for gaming, either. There’s no need to force Xbox gamers to compete with those using a mouse when the player pool is plentiful either way. This would provide a better experience since you could choose to game only with people who have equal advantages to you.
I really hope Microsoft get around to fixing this, or they could be losing some of their Xbox player base on those titles.
