Console-Only Crossplay Finally Being Implemented With the Start of Black Ops 6 Season 3

[summaraize]

Are you one of the many players tired of playuing against PC players in Call of Duty games? It’s not just the advantage of a mouse and keyboard, but cheaters almost always come from PC due to the open nature of the platform.

Well, it seems Activision has finally caved in. After years of requests by Call of Duty players, the publisher is finally implementing console-only crossplay in Black Ops 6 with the start of Season 3!

Metal Gear Solid Delta Will Let You "Peep" on Eva Confirmed

If you've played and finished Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater when it was originally released and wanted to check out "more" of the game, chances are, you unlocked the secret "Peep Demo Theater" to scope some of the most interesting parts of the game.

Black Ops 6 Console-Only Crossplay Applies to Multiplayer and Warzone

As part of the Season 3 patch notes, Activision has confirmed that console-only crossplay is coming on April 2!

In Season 03, we’re giving console players more granular options by separating the MP Ranked Play and Call of Duty: Warzone Ranked Play settings and adding a new Multiplayer-only setting for Quickplay, Featured, and Party Games matches.

Each of these three settings (Multiplayer Ranked Play, Call of Duty: Warzone Ranked Play, and Multiplayer Unranked) will include the following options:

• On: Enables matchmaking with all gaming platforms when playing in the selected playlists.
• On (Consoles Only): Enables matchmaking only with other consoles when playing in selected playlists.
  • May negatively impact matchmaking queue times.
• Off: Restricts matchmaking to your current gaming platform only in selected playlists.
  • Will negatively impact matchmaking queue times.

Additional details on how these settings interact with party members who are on different platforms.

• Players in a party who all belong to the same console platform will matchmake with the party leader’s preferred cross-play settings.
• Players who have selected “Cross-Play Off” and create a mixed platform party that includes a different console platform will have their cross-play settings temporarily adjusted to “Cross-Play On (Consoles Only)” to enable matchmaking. This temporary adjustment enables matchmaking for the duration of the mixed platform party, and disbanding this party will result in preferred matchmaking settings being restored.
• Players who have selected “Cross-Play Off” and create a mixed platform party with a PC player will have their cross-play settings temporarily adjusted to “Cross-Play On.” This enables matchmaking for the duration of the mixed platform party, and disbanding this party will result in preferred matchmaking settings being restored.
• Reminder: Adjusting Cross-Play settings may negatively impact matchmaking queue times.

This is definitely good news — at least for console players. Unless you’re playing with someone on PC, there’s realy no reason for console players to enable full crossplay. I mean, unless they miss the cheaters and whatnot.

The patch download should start tomorrow for PS4, PS5 players, with the PC and Xbox getting it on April 2.
