Does Battlefield 2042 support crossplay on PC and consoles

Yes, Battlefield 2042 supports crossplay between PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Those with a PS4 and Xbox One can only play with other last-gen console owners. Considering that it’s been a couple of years since the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S came out, there’s a good chance that you should be able to team up with your friends. 

This lets you experience the frantic Conquest mode with your mates and pick different operators and classes based on your preferences. Bringing friends along means that you can ensure tighter communication, even across platforms. And constant comms are key to winning games in Battlefield 2042. If capturing points isn’t your thing, you can always hop over to Team Deathmatch. And if you want to raise the stakes, Hazard Zone is a new addition to the game.

Battlefield 2042 lets you change crossplay settings right as you start the game

This means that you can choose to disable it if you want to stick to facing players on your own platform.

Is it worth using Battlefield 2042 crossplay to connect online

Yes, players are competent across both consoles and PCs. I teamed up with Xbox and PlayStation players over multiple matches and they’ve always had my back. While some squadmates might not heed your calls for revives, it has nothing to do with what platform they’re on. This is because voice chat makes communication seamless across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. 

That covers crossplay in the game. Now that you know that you can bring friends along, try the game out right away. It’s even on Game Pass. This grants players access to an EA Play subscription as well, letting them try out the latest installment in the Battlefield franchise. Try Season 6 out today and start climbing up the ranks as you clear its weekly challenges.
