    I bought my xbox to play a single game, Warzone, I honestly don't use it for anything else.

    It is not only unfair playing warzone cross platform against PC players who are using keyboards and mice, but I've also noticed 99% of the people I'm sure are cheating are on PC too.

    When I turn cross play off, I can't join any games - the warning clearly says you need cross play enabled to proceed.

    Before I go out and buy a playstation which I hear can disable crossplay, is there a way to do it on xbox?

    It's not going to be a huge investment switching, but given my friends play on xbox, then we'll all have to change (they are equally frustrated so it's probably not a hard sell).

    So, can I turn cross play off in warzone (or the upcoming warzone 2) and be able to play or is the only solution changing going to be swtiching to playstation?

    Thanks

    :)

    Because the answer is the same every time

    Microsoft does not own Activision

    They do not possess the source code, or the ability to change the game’s functions in any way

    Therefore you need to ask the people who can.

    I’m sorry but there’s no other answer that can be given. You are authenticated to Activision’s servers by Xbox Live, and all matchmaking takes place there.

    What about these statements specifically do you believe is inaccurate?

    Actually they do

    You forget market share power has everything to do with what you get or are you forgetting BlackBerry or Nokia who couldn't compete against the economics of scale of Google samsung and apple

    Fyi you can turn off cross play you just not looking at the right spot

    First, go to the dashboard and press the Xbox button. Now you can select 'Settings.' Now follow these steps:

    1. Select 'General'
    2. Now 'Online Safety and Family'
    3. Next, select 'Privacy and Online Safety'
    4. Open 'Xbox Privacy'
    5. Select 'View Details and Customise'
    6. Now 'Communication and Multiplayer'
    7. Finally, use the 'You Can Join Cross-Network Play' section and switch it to 'Block'
    Keep.I'm mind you take the risks doing since you will have less players doing so

    Only way to turn crossplay off is to mess with your console settings and honestly you probably won't find a game.

    Sony made a deal with Activision thats why they can disable it and honestly I'm tempted to go PlayStation after being xbox since day one. Sick of being forced to play with pc players

    Again, xbox (Microsoft) is the only platform where this is so! Early in the discussion microsoft threw that answer out a lot. Now they don't, for a reason! Anyone who does any amount of research and looks into it is clearly pointed to the fact that this is 100% a Microsoft choice. Sony allows you to play with it off. PC allows it. Only Microsoft doesn't. That's not Activision. Actually, Activision has even come out on this issue and said clearly that it was on Microsofts side. So you may use the same answer time and again, but whether it's because it's your job or because of ignorance of the issue, you are very very wrong! I love XBOX and want to come back to the platform, but until they choose to put their player base first and above their ambitions of market shares then I won't be back. So what, you may say, but look online and witness the massive grumbling of an entire community.

    Before I close I am going to prove this point beyond a shadow of a doubt. I will show 100% that regardless of code or ownership this issue lays completely at Microsofts feet. You say they have no choice or control? Well the simple fact that Activision allows (or so you say) Sony players an accommodation that they deny Microsoft players is a serious violation and discrimination. If Activision allowed both platforms and excluded Microsoft (xbox) then there would be a serious problem and they would have to answer. Microsoft wouldn't allow it and would have them in court before the summons ink could dry. So from that perspective you are literally saying that Microsoft just doesn't care enough about their xbox base enough to fight for them? Yea, okill go with that since you are so adamant. Now instead of it being an issue where Microsoft is choosing to force us to crossplay in hopes of touching PC market shares, it's worse and they are literally allowing Activison to discriminate against xbox players and denying us options they afford all other players. Microsoft just doesn't care enough to stop it. So you see, either way, it's a Microsoft issue and your answer doesn't hold water!

    You ned to ask Activision that question, as only they have that information or the ability to change it.
