Does Battlefield 6 have crossplay?

Does BF6 have crossplay? Teamwork in Battlefield is perhaps more important than any of its counterparts, with squadplay allowing the huge multiplayer rounds to feel more intimate and tactical, giving you a sense of place in an impossibly large battle. The question, though, is who can you invite along for the ride, and do they have to be on the same platform as you? This is where crossplay comes in.

Now that we have a firm grip on the Battlefield 6 release date, players are rallying their teammates, drawing up plans, and keeping a very close eye on the upcoming BF6 beta. Here's whether Battlefield 6 has crossplay, and also cross progression, so you can be safe in the knowledge that you can take your fight anywhere, and with anyone.

Battlefield 6 will have crossplay functionality at launch. It has been given the term 'preferred crossplay' by the developer, which means that when you search for a game, it will prioritize matchmaking you with those players on your chosen platform, widening the search to those on others if a suitable match cannot be found.

It has also been confirmed that crossplay can be disabled if you would rather stay within the realms of your platform. If you're playing on a console and would rather not play with PC players, or vice versa, you can create a stricter search parameter.

Does BF6 have cross progression?

Thankfully, Battlefield 6 does have cross progression, meaning that no matter the platform you play on, whether that's PC or console, as long as you're using the same account, your progression and unlocks will carry over.

Now that BF6 crossplay has been ticked off and you know who you're inviting to your squad, it's time to decide who fulfils what role. Figuring out what classes each person is best at is key and will ensure that you have a balanced squad that can turn the tide of any match.
