I think cross play between xbox and playstation would be great for this game.More players servers and match making.  
Come on EA Dice make it happen and give this game a real boost.

It will never happen, it’s not down to Dice but to Sony and they will never agree to cross play as they fear the Xbox will out shine the PlayStation.

You do know there are other titles that are cross platform between Xbox, PS4 and PC, right? Modern Warfare is cross play between all 3 platforms, as a good example. Fortnite is cross platform between Xbox, PS4, PC, Switch and Mobile. A lot more games are following that trend too. If the next Battlefield is not cross platform, it will be behind everyone else.

I would prefer it to just be between the consoles as there are too many variables with PC.

When you say variables, you mean hackers. The reason I left PC

Yes I would prefer crossplay between consoles only. It is a different play style vs PC gamers.

Well that’s the main reason but PCs can have better visuals/performance etc

Not only would it be better for the competitive community, but also as the game starts to age. With multiple platforms it can help keep the game feeling alive.

Not true dude. The new COD is cross-play between Xbox and PlayStation

Rocket League and Fortnite Battle Royale seem to be the only two cross console games , but there are Xbox and PC cross games like Sea of Thieves .

No, Modern Warfare is cross play between Xbox, Playstation and PC.

I’m not a fan of how Modern Warfare’s crossplay works. It would be nice to select crossplay by input device so it would only be controller VS controller.

I’d also like choosing which platforms I’m matched with. That way I could just crossplay with PlayStation and Xbox players. Instead of being forced to play with PC cheaters.

Very valid point.

I don’t mind playing against anyone on any platform. The point is there are games that go multiplatform between consoles, so there’s no reason why the next Battlefield can’t do it, if one of the biggest franchises is doing it. Options to opt out of certain platforms to cross play can be made possible if devs do it that way. In Battlefield’s case where there is a server browser, they can make it display what platform each player is on when looking through the servers. Rented servers will probably have the potential to lock out certain platforms if the owner chooses to.
