Understanding Cross-Play in Battlefield 2042

Supported Platforms:

• PC
• PlayStation 4 (Note: Some restrictions apply)
• PlayStation 5
• Xbox One (Note: Some restrictions apply)
• Xbox Series X|S

Battle Scale Adjustments:

• To ensure fair play and optimal performance, especially on older consoles like PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Battlefield 2042 adjusts the scale of battles. 
• On these platforms, the battles will feature 64 players, in contrast to the 128-player battles on more advanced systems.
• This means these players are in a different cross-play pool and cannot play with the new consoles and PC players.

Cross-Progression Features

• Seamless Progress: In Battlefield 2042, your progress and items are linked to your EA Account, allowing you to switch between platforms like PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 5 without losing any progress or access to your arsenal.
• Console Upgrades: Upgrading your console? No worries! Your progress and items will seamlessly transition to your new console as long as it's linked to the same EA Account.

Managing Cross-Play Settings

How to Toggle Cross-Play:

1. Accessing Settings: In the main menu of the game, navigate to the Accessibility & Options menu.
2. Locating Cross-Play Settings: Go to the General tab and scroll down to find 'Other'.
3. Toggling Cross-Play: Here, you can easily toggle Cross-play on or off based on your preference.

Important Notes:

• Restrictions on Adjusting Settings: You cannot change your cross-play settings while in a group, during matchmaking, or when you're already in a server.
• Playing Without Cross-Play: If you decide to switch off cross-play, you'll be matched with or against players only on the same platform as yours.

By utilizing the cross-play feature in Battlefield 2042, you can enjoy a more inclusive gaming experience, teaming up with friends across different platforms. Just remember the limitations on older consoles and the ease with which you can manage your cross-play settings to best suit your gaming preferences.
