Battlefield 6 is setting a new standard for multiplayer with its return to large-scale warfare. A standout feature of this new era is the full implementation of Battlefield 6 Crossplay, allowing players to finally break down platform barriers. This system brings the entire community together onto a single, unified battlefield. Now, here’s everything you should know about how Crossplay works in Battlefield 6!
How to Add & Invite Friends on All Platforms
Battlefield 6 fully supports Crossplay, which makes adding friends across all systems a simple process. The entire system works by linking every player through their EA ID, so make sure all party members have an EA account created and linked to the game upon launch.
The process is relatively simple once you have your friend’s EA ID.
-
- Start by selecting the “+” icon in the top-right corner of your screen in the main menu.
- If you’re using PC, click the “Friend Requests” tab. Meanwhile, press R2/RT to open/use the Connect menu then L1/L2 or LB/RB to find the “Add Friends” button for consoles.
- In your menu, you’ll see a box with your own EA ID. Share this with your friends will allow them to add you to the game.
- Input your friend’s provided EA ID in the search bar and send a request. Only after they accept your request you will appear on each other’s friend lists.
- Once added, simply click on their profile and choose “Invite to Party” or “Join Game” to start playing together.
What Does Battlefield 6 Cross-Progression Means
This new Battlefield experience offers a unique take on player accounts with Cross-Progression. As long as you log in with the same EA account, you can carry over all of your progress to a different platform. This includes your stats, unlocks, and other achievements.
With this, you can easily switch between PC and console without losing your hard-earned gear. However, it’s important to note that you will still need to purchase a separate copy of Battlefield 6 for each new platform you wish to play on.
Enabling or Disabling Your Crossplay Settings
While Crossplay is an amazing feature for linking up with friends, console players have the option to manage their experience. The option is turned on by default, but not everyone wants to get matched with players on PC.
Even with Crossplay on, the game will prioritize matching you with players on the same console family. It will only open up the full Crossplay search to find PC players if it cannot find enough players to fill the lobby. To enable or disable Crossplay on consoles, follow these steps:
-
- Head to the Settings tab from your main menu.
- Then, go to the “System” tab.
- Find the Crossplay option below the “Setup” section to either enable or disable it.
While console players have this choice, PC players do not have an option to disable Crossplay. They will always be in matchmaking pools that include players from both PC and consoles.
Final Thoughts
With Battlefield 6 Crossplay, you can team up with your friends on any platform and work together on taking down teams! It is among the many exciting features that the developers added into the game, helping BF6 community to grow. You only need to grab their EA ID and send an invite to join the massive battlefield together!
