Since the main draw of playing Destruction Allstars is battling against other players online, you’ll often be looking for a new lobby to join. However, it’s always possible that you’ll want to change your mind and do something else before jumping into a match. If you want to wait a few minutes before looking for a game, here’s everything you need to know about how to cancel matchmaking in Destruction Allstars.
When you start searching for a game, a ‘matchmaking’ banner will appear in the top left of the screen. However, you can still back out to the main menu to mess with customization or look at the other modes in the game.
