Crossplay was a glimmer in the eyes of gamers going back to Sega Dreamcast, but it was and is the holy grail of online multiplayer and is implemented in Call of Duty Warzone 2.

But it can be a double-edged sword. It is great to play with friends, regardless if you have the same console. However, given PC mouse advantages over controllers in FPS games and more cheaters, it is not always fair.

With the high skill and knowledge ceiling of Warzone 2, players might want more of a level playing field even if skill-based matchmaking has not been confirmed yet.

Is There Crossplay in Warzone 2?

Yes, there is Crossplay between Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, and PC in Warzone 2. Regardless of the platform, players can jump into a battle royale match or any other with all platform holders.

As long as you and your friends on different platforms have Crossplay enabled, you can play together online in Warzone 2.

Crossplay is enabled from the start in Warzone 2, so if you haven’t touched the setting, you’ll likely already have it on.

Disabling Crossplay differs by console, but on PlayStation 4 and 5, you must go to the in-game settings to turn it off, while Xbox has Crossplay settings in the general console menus.

But know that if you want to play with PC players or the opposing console, Xbox or PlayStation, you must enable cross-play in the menu(s). However, consoles apart of the same network, like PS4 and PS5, are always playing on the same servers, meaning that disabling Crossplay does not affect them.
