Over the past decade, cross-platform play has transformed from an ambitious dream to an everyday reality, significantly unifying the *Call of Duty* community. Yet, with crossplay comes certain challenges. Here’s a detailed guide on how to disable crossplay in *Black Ops 6*, helping you tailor your gaming experience.
Should You Disable Crossplay in Black Ops 6? Answered
Opting to disable crossplay in *Black Ops 6* is a decision that comes with both benefits and drawbacks. Many players consider turning off crossplay to level the playing field, seeking a more equitable and enjoyable experience. Console gamers on Xbox and PlayStation, in particular, often aim to avoid competing against PC players.
If you’re gaming on a console, you might want to disable crossplay due to the advantages PC players have. The precision of a mouse and keyboard setup can be significantly superior to using a controller, giving PC players an edge in aiming accuracy. Additionally, PC players may have easier access to mods and cheats. Despite *Call of Duty*’s Ricochet Anti-Cheat system, players of *Black Ops 6* and *Warzone* have frequently reported encounters with hackers and cheaters. Disabling crossplay could theoretically reduce the presence of cheaters in your matches.
However, there’s a significant downside to disabling crossplay: it shrinks the pool of players you can match with. This reduction can lead to longer wait times for matches and potentially poorer connection quality among players in the lobby.

How To Turn Off Crossplay in Black Ops 6
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 right at the top. Simply scroll to these options and press X or A to switch the setting from On to Off. You can do this within *Black Ops 6*, *Warzone*, or from the main *Call of Duty* HQ page. Note that in the image above, we accessed the Crossplay setting by favoriting it and adding it to Quick Settings.
At times, you might find this setting greyed out and locked, especially in certain modes like Ranked Play. Previously, *Call of Duty* has enforced crossplay in these modes, intending to ensure fairness, but often resulting in the opposite effect. Fortunately, starting in Season 2 of *Black Ops 6*, players will have the option to disable crossplay even in the game's most competitive modes, giving you greater control over your gaming environment.
*Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.*
