Since its release, Battlefield 6 has opted for a more inclusive approach with crossplay enabled by default, but not all players are happy with this decision. In recent hours, numerous Xbox and PS5 users have expressed their discontent with what they consider an obvious imbalance against PC players, especially in competitive modes like the new Battle Royale.

The problem arises when console players disable crossplay, as matches fill up with bots or become empty, especially on European servers and during nighttime hours. This leaves users with two unsatisfactory options: playing against teams full of mouse and keyboard players, or accepting matches against AI.

“There should be crossplay only between consoles” Many players claim

The community agrees that the biggest problem is not crossplay itself, but the lack of more specific filters. Many are calling for a system that allows an exclusive mode between consoles, leaving the crossover with PC as a separate option for those who want it or use external peripherals.

Although some players argue that the difference between controller and mouse depends more on skill than hardware, the majority believe that in Battlefield 6 the aim assist does not compensate for the precision of the mouse, resulting in uneven matches.

The most repeated proposal among fans is clear: keep crossplay between PS5 and Xbox Series, but not with PC, unless the player chooses it manually. For now, EA has not commented on whether it plans to adjust the matchmaking system, although the debate about crossplay balance in shooters continues to be more alive than ever.
