Everything you need to know about cross-platform play and how to manage it in your settings.

What is cross-play in Battlefield 2042?

Is Battlefield 2042 cross-platform?

Yes, Battlefield 2042 has cross-platform play, sometimes called cross-play. Cross-play lets you play with your friends no matter what system they’re playing on. In Battlefield 2042, it’s available on:

PC
PlayStation
Xbox.

Cross-play is grouped by platform generation, which means you can only play against others playing the same platform generation as you:

new-generation consoles (PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC),
old-generation consoles (PlayStation®4 and Xbox One).

To keep the experience fair, and performance stable for older systems, we reduced the scale of the battles in All-Out Warfare. If you’re playing on PlayStation®4 or Xbox One, you’ll be in 64-player battles, not 128-player ones.

What is cross-progression?

In Battlefield 2042, cross-progression means your progress and any items you’ve earned follow you wherever you’re playing, as long as all your accounts are linked to the same EA Account. If you play on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation®5, you can switch between platforms without losing progress or access to your favorite weapon. If you upgrade your console, your progress and items will follow you to your new console, as long as you’re still playing on the same account.

How to turn cross-play off

If you disable cross-play, you’ll only be playing with and against players on the same platform as you. Here’s how to turn it off:

1
Go to the in-game main menu and open the Accessibility & Options menu.
2
Select the General tab.
3
Toggle Cross-play off.

If you want to turn cross-play back on, follow the same steps then toggle Cross-play on.

Keep in mind: You won’t be able to change your cross-play settings if you’re in a group, when you’re matchmaking, or if you’ve joined a server.
