Battlefield 2042<\/a> developers DICE has confirmed that the game will launch with full cross-play support, as well as with the cross-platform progression system.<\/p>\n

As each battle will require 128 players to start the game(albeit bots will replace missing players), having crossplay enabled will allow to find matches much faster and much more efficiently.<\/p>\n

“We are still building cross-play functionality, and the first opportunity for us to test it with a wider, invite-only group will be within the Technical Playtest,” Dice explains.<\/p>\n

Players on both PC and consoles will be able to opt-out of crossplay if they wish so, for example, if you don’t wish to play against a mouse\/keyboard player while you are playing on your Xbox Series X with a controller.<\/p>\n

As it stands, the functionality is still in the testing phase, and both EA and DICE want to make sure that everything is working perfectly before fully enabling it.<\/p>\n

They are targeting for crossplay to be enabled alongside the game’s release on 22nd October, but if the feature still isn’t ready at that point, crossplay will be delayed.<\/p>\n
