Cross play Turned on, but games keep cross play disabled on Xbox Series X

Hello NNJA Myers,

I understand the frustration you’re facing with cross play settings on your Xbox Series X. Let’s troubleshoot this issue step by step:

1. Verify Crossplay Settings:
   
   • First, ensure that crossplay is indeed enabled for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (MW3). You can do this by following these steps:
     
     1. From the Xbox dashboard, open the guide menu by tapping the Xbox button in the center of your controller.
        
     2. Navigate right to the settings menu.
        
     3. Go to Online safety & family from the General tab.
        
     4. Select Privacy & online safety.
        
     5. Choose Xbox Live privacy.
        
     6. Under You can play with people outside Xbox Live, select either Block or Allow depending on your preference
        
   • Restart your game after making these changes to ensure they take effect.
     
2. Game-Specific Settings:
   
   • Some games have their own crossplay settings within the game itself. Check if MW3 has any in-game options related to crossplay. If so, make sure crossplay is enabled there as well.
     
3. Account Verification:
   
   • Verify that your Xbox Live account is properly set up for crossplay. Sometimes, account issues can cause these problems. You can do this by:
     
     1. Going to your Xbox account settings (either through the console or the web).
        
     2. Ensuring that crossplay is allowed for your account.
        
     3. Restarting your console after making any changes.
        
4. Check for Updates:
   
   • Ensure that your game and console are up to date. Sometimes, outdated software can cause compatibility issues.
