How To Enable Crossplay In Call Of Duty Warzone 2.0
If you’re fond of shooters, you should consider playing the new Call Of Duty Warzone 2.0. The game is now available in Steam, Battle.net, PlayStation, and Xbox so there’s definitely a much bigger fan base that can be expected, thanks to Warzone’s crossplay feature.
And while crossplay cannot be disabled for PC players, console players can remain locked within their platform by simply turning it off under Settings.
In this guide, we’ll show you the easy steps to do that.
What is crossplay in Warzone 2.0?
The latest massive free-to-play shooter from Activision, the Call Of Duty: Warzone 2.0, can be played across a number of platforms. The game is now available in both Battle.net and Steam for PC players, as well as in 4th and 5th generation consoles.
That said, the game is designed to be playable in multiple platforms around the world that it’s unthinkable for it not to feature crossplay.
Crossplay, for the uninitiated, means that an online multiplayer game like Warzone 2.0, allows players to play with others regardless of the devices they’re playing on. This means that Warzone 2.0 players on PC can join a match with someone who plays on a PlayStation (PS4 or PS5) or Xbox (Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S).

FAQs
Can I disable crossplay in Warzone 2.0 if am playing on PC?
No. PC players do not have the Crossplay option under Settings. Crossplay is only available for console players. This means that PC players will always have to play with or against players from all platforms.
How does crossplay work in Warzone 2.0?
Crossplay in Warzone 2.0 is completely optional for console players but not for PC players. Gamers on consoles, however, will only be placed in PC lobbies if they are paired with PC players. So, if you and your friend are playing on a PlayStation, you will most likely be playing against console players only and not be placed in PC lobbies. The same goes for Xbox players, even if they enabled crossplay on their device.While playing against PC players can sometimes be frustrating, disabling crossplay is not recommended as that can add the time in the queue. However, if you don’t mind waiting for a longer time, consider disabling crossplay instead.
