• Go to the Online Safety and Family tab.
• Open Xbox Privacy and scroll to Communication and Multiplayer.
• Set the Cross-Network play to Block.

How to Turn Off Crossplay on PS5 & PS4

For PlayStation players, it is so incredibly simple that it’s a wonder why Activision doesn’t implement this for all platforms. Here’s how:

• Jump onto Modern Warfare 3 and head into the settings.
• Select Account & Network.

• Toggle the Cross-Play to ‘Off’

What Is Crossplay?

Crossplay is the simple feature of playing the game across multiple platforms, with PlayStation players playing with Xbox and PC users all at once. There are a plethora of advantages and a fair few negatives that come with this ability.

PC players are always knee-deep in the battle against Aim-Assist with two camps splitting the community in half. Xbox and PS users feel somewhat inferior to the high-end PC rigs producing better visuals to get that competitive edge.

On the flipside, matchmaking times will undoubtedly be longer and with the introduction of SBMM, you can expect the quality of games to take a little dive too.
