Battlefield 6 arrived earlier in October, and its new battle royale mode, RedSec, launched on October 28, 2025. Disabling cross-play on consoles could give you a slight advantage, helping you secure that win without worrying about PC players lasering you from across the map.
For PC players, however, there’s currently no way to disable cross-play. So, if console aim assist is the bane of your existence right now, you’re out of luck—for now.
How to disable crossplay on Xbox Series X|S
On Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, cross-play can be disabled through your console settings rather than in-game. Once changed, this setting applies to all supported games across your console.
- Press the Xbox button and open Settings.
- Go to General > Online safety & family > Privacy & online safety.
- Select Xbox privacy > View details & customize > Communication & multiplayer.
- Under Cross-network play, set it to Block.
How to disable Crossplay on PlayStation 5
PlayStation 5, players can toggle cross-play directly from within Battlefield 6 or Battlefield RedSec. It’s worth noting that the process is identical for both Battlefield 6 and RedSec.
- Launch the game and scroll all the way to the right to open Settings.
- Navigate to System.
- Open the System tab and go to Cross-play.
- Toggle Crossplay on or off.
How to disable crossplay on PC
At launch, Battlefield 6 and RedSec do not include an option to disable cross-play on PC. You’ll still be matched with console players, including those using aim assist.
EA has stated that it’s reviewing community feedback, so a dedicated toggle may arrive in a future update. For now, PC players can only adjust matchmaking preferences by region or party settings.
Battlefield’s comeback and RedSec’s rise
Battlefield 6 marks a strong comeback for the franchise. After a rough few years, it finally feels like the developers are listening to feedback and making meaningful changes where they can.
It’s not just Battlefield 6 either. RedSec, which I played all last night, is a lot of fun with friends and genuinely cinematic. It’s not perfect, and Steam reviews are currently mixed, but the same willingness to listen that’s driving Battlefield 6’s improvements will likely carry over to RedSec as well.
