Is Black Ops 6 Crossplay And Cross Platform
With so many Black Ops 6 Zombies maps and standard multiplayer maps to play on, it doesn’t surprise us to learn that PC, Xbox, and PlayStation users want to unite as a powerful team. The only trouble is that not every multiplayer game is forced to include this helpful feature, which is why people have been asking whether Black Ops 6 supports crossplay and cross-platform connectivity.
Does Black Ops 6 have crossplay?
Yes, Black Ops 6 does feature crossplay between PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S players. No matter what platform your friends are playing on, as long as you have them added to your friends list, you can join each other’s party to play both Zombies and multiplayer.
How to disable Black Ops 6 crossplay
If you want to avoid playing with console players, unfortunately there’s no way to disable crossplay when playing on PC. This used to be an option for PC players in older Call of Duty games, but that ability has since been removed over the past few years.
PlayStation users can disable Black Ops 6 crossplay by going into the game settings, heading to the ‘Account & Network’ section, and the first option in the list gives you the ability to disable crossplay. As for Xbox users, you can’t disable crossplay in the in-game settings, but you can go to ‘Xbox Privacy’ in your console settings and change ‘You can join cross-network play’ from Allow to Block.
How to add friends in Black Ops 6
The way the friends system works this year is slightly different due to the number of platforms Black Ops 6 is available on. Regardless of your platform of choice, you most likely have several friends already who will appear in the Black Ops 6’s lobby, even if they don’t own the game. If you want to see your crossplay friends, you have to add them first.
Here’s how you add friends in Black Ops 6:
In the Black Ops 6 lobby, head to the ‘View All Friends’ button on the right side of the screen. From here, you can enter your friend’s Activision ID (for example: Haroldmateman#1001010) along with a custom message to send a friend request.
It’s worth mentioning that you won’t be able to compare your stats to your friends until you add them via this system. Though your crossplay friends may appear on your friends list, unless you’ve directly added them using their Activision ID, you won’t be able to see their stats on the in-game leaderboard.
Is there cross-progression in Black Ops 6?
Yes, you can take your progress with you across any of the platforms Black Ops 6 is on. While your progress, including your levels, loadouts, and weapon skins can be moved from platform to platform, this doesn’t apply to CoD Points which are platform exclusive.
This means if you’ve purchased Black Ops 6 Vault Edition on Xbox and you decide to play the Game Pass version on PC, the included CoD Points will be locked to Xbox. That said, if you spend those points on something from the store, those items (including the battle pass) can be accessed on a different platform.
That’s all you need to know about Black Ops 6 crossplay and cross-platform. If you’re moving from platform to platform, you can rest easy knowing your hard-earned Black Ops 6 camos and best Black Ops 6 loadouts will be there waiting for you.
