CoD MW2: Disable Crossplay – This is how you turn off the option on PS5 and Xbox

Crossplay is also an important feature in CoD MW2. With this system, you can gamble with other colleagues in multiplayer regardless of your platform. However, many turn off crossplay because you could also compete against PC players. We will therefore show you everything important about crossplay and how you can switch it off.

How do I disable crossplay in MW2 on PS5? To disable crossplay on the PS5, you must follow the instructions below.

To do this, go to your in-game settings and select the “Account & Network” section. It doesn’t matter which mode you’re logged into, the menu layout is the same for all. A new window will now open. In this, the first setting point is declared as “Crossplay”.

Now you can choose whether to activate it. With us, this menu item was already deactivated in advance. So if you want to gamble with friends outside of your platform, you have to activate this menu item.

If you also want to communicate with other platforms in crossplay, you must also activate “crossplay communication”. This is one point below.

How do I disable crossplay in MW2 on Xbox? While the crossplay feature could also be deactivated on the Xbox in the beta, it looks different for the release. The crossplay menu item has disappeared on Xbox, but we’ll show you how to disable crossplay anyway.

Go to it as follows:

• Go to your console settings
• Now tap on “Online safety and family”
• Now tap on “Privacy and online safety”
• Now tap on “Xbox Live Privacy”
• Now select “Show details and customizations”.
• Then comes the menu item “Communication and Multiplayer”
• Now there is a field where you can decide if you can gamble with players outside of Xbox Live
  • This includes PC and PlayStation players
    • If you want to disable crossplay, change this option to “Block”
• In order for your setting to take effect on your game, you should restart all open titles

Xbox One and Xbox Series menus are a little different. But on both consoles you can disable crossplay in your privacy settings.

In the following we explain to you what problems crossplay could bring with it.

Everything you need to know about crossplay in CoD: MW2

What problems does crossplay bring? Using this setting will throw players from all supported platforms into a matchmaking. So it could be that you have to play players on the Xbox or the PS5 against players on the PC or vice versa.

Console players enjoy a huge advantage with their controllers, as they get aim assist from the ground up. PC players do not have this advantage, but they are more agile in movement and aiming with the mouse and keyboard.

It is also easier to hack or use cheats on PC. So you could encounter more hackers.

However, if these things don’t bother you, you can activate the settings.

What are the advantages of crossplay? Above all, the biggest advantage with crossplay is playing with other platforms. You don’t have to hang around in a matchmaking before a match can be started in multiplayer. This fact allows the server to access more players and fill your lobbies faster with people from all over the world.

As already mentioned, you can also be matched with friends who hang out on different platforms. So it’s a cool system that is supportive, but it can also create problems.

That’s all you need to know about disabling crossplay. What do you think of the MW2 also offering such a feature? Will you enable crossplay? Let us know what you think in the comments!
