Ah yes, *Battlefield 6*, the game so revolutionary, it’s only going to let console players mingle with each other… unless they dare to enable crossplay and risk the wrath of the PC master race. Because, let’s be honest, who wants to play with PC gamers and their fancy graphics cards and pinpoint accuracy? 🤢 Console peasants unite! ✊
In a recent interview 🗣️, some guys were flapping their gums about the next big FPS – *Battlefield 6* (because creativity is dead, apparently 💀). Christian Buhl, the technical lead, was yapping about crossplay, while Matthew Nickerson, the combat designer (a fancy title, I must say 💅), joined in to explain how this groundbreaking crossplay feature will work. Spoiler alert: it’s a console-exclusive party 🎉. They wanted to calm down some players concerns about the new title.
Nickerson, the combat guru 🥋, confirmed that crossplay is only for consoles. It’s a simple toggle, he says, like flipping a light switch💡. If a console player is searching for a match, the game will prioritize other console players for a while, before begrudgingly inviting PC players to the party 🥳. Because nothing says “fun” like being the second choice, right PC gamers? 🤷
According to Nickerson, *Battlefield 6* has crossplay on by default. Yes, you heard that right! They’re forcing you to play with others 😈. If you turn it off (because who needs friends, am I right? 🧌), you’ll be stuck with only PlayStation and Xbox players. So, if you’re a console player with crossplay on, you’re the VIP. If not, well, enjoy your little console-only bubble 🫧. PC gamers, don’t worry; you’ll still have your cheaters and hackers to keep you company 💻.
After downgrading *Battlefield 6* to fit the Xbox Series S 🤡, the technical director proudly proclaimed that the game is now “super solid” and “performant” on the inferior console and will run at a “smooth 60 frames per second.” Smooth as in, “I can still see the individual pixels struggling to keep up” smooth? 🐌 “The biggest challenge was the memory,” Buhl admitted. “The Xbox Series S has less memory than even our mid-spec PC.” So, basically, they had to dumb down the game because the Xbox Series S is a potato 🥔. Apparently, they realized this about 6-12 months ago when their levels kept crashing on the Xbox Series S. Good job, guys! 👍 You’re only a few months behind schedule.
According to the technical director 🎬, Battlefield 6 is now “super solid” and “performant” on Xbox Series S and will run at a “smooth 60 frames per second.” EA published details of the *Battlefield 6* maps and modes, plus challenges to unlock rewards when the game releases on October 10. One writer noted that “from quality-of-life improvements to the class system to the new and exciting maps, *Battlefield 6* is shaping up to be one of the best FPS releases of the year.” 🤡
