Just yesterday, Battlefield 2042 crossplay was confirmed by EA, alongside a few other things. If you’re a bit confused as to how crossplay works, you’re not alone, and DICE knows about it.
Over on Twitter, DICE Lead Community Manager @Straatford87 clarified crossplay, though at the same time, left something up in the air as well.
To clarify:
Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will play with each other.
Players on PC and Gen 5 consoles exist in a second state of cross-play, and won't cross over.
Opt out of cross-play, and you'll play with players on the same platform. No matter your Battlefield 2042 version. https://t.co/g8wHAh1xbJ

It might just be me, but that statement really doesn’t clarify whether PS5 and Xbox Series X|S gamers can choose to use crossplay just to play among each other (console-only crossplay). For those confused, just remember that PS4 and Xbx One are in their own crossplay bubble, and even if you play the PS4 version of Battlefield 2042 on PS5, you still won’t be able to crossplay with Xbox Series gamers.
In related Battlefield 2042 news, DICE is asking for feedback in regards to the “Battlefield Briefing” the studio has done! EA Community Manager Kevin Johnson has asked gamers to share their feedback and what they want to see regarding these briefings (note: feedback on the briefings and not the game, trailers, etc.)
On the subject of Dev Corners, we tried something different here and we'd love some feedback!
There are some different things we can do and different ways to do them in our #Battlefield Briefings, so don't be shy – share your feedback.
What do you expect to see from us?

Let’s hope this Battlefield Briefings become a weekly thing, as there’s a ton of info being shared.
Battlefield 2042 will be released this October 22 on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC.
PC players ruined cod warzone and their own bfv is suffering from rampant cheating. Definitely a pass.
fucking sick of cross playing with PC, let them play on their own with their hackers, if they want a hacker free experience then they should get consoles, no reason why console players should sufer shitty pc players
Super wide screen, HD, contrast, control advantage. FPS. Cheating, modding. They will destroy this amazing looking game. You can not calibrate for 2 different control types period. Crossplay should be opt in not opt out. Xbox gamers get nothing fo4 carrying Pc gamers. Infinite will be another ruined Game.
We opt Opt out we will get a much smaller player base by default. I hope there is a huge cull and we all stick together and all opt out. I had some idioit the othe4 telling me to buy a keyboard and mouse. Lol. And for infinite I told him your asking s to change our formula when we don’t want or need you. I was looking forward to slaying some noobs with FTPlay but you can’t stop cheating.
