According to Insider Gaming, EA is trying to build the matchmaking feature in Battlefield 6 in ways that will aim to match console players with other console players as a priority and will only match console players with players on the PC as a last resort when there’s a need to fill holes in a lobby. Charlieintel, one of the trusted sources when it comes to Battlefield 6, has wrote in their social media account that EA wants to match console players with each other over pitting console players with or against players on the PC platform.
“Cross-play in Battlefield 6 can be enabled or disabled in the game settings. If you keep cross-play on, EA says they are working to ensure console players get matched against other console players – and will only add PC players if there is a need to fill in lobbies.”
So if you’re on the console and believe that PC players pose a high chance of cheating in a game like Battlefield 6, you’ll be glad to know that the matchmaking system in the upcoming Multiplayer FPS title will do it’s best to make sure you’re on the same playing field as all other players, which means you’ll find yourself playing with other console gamers most of the times. Though it’s also a given at this point that Battlefield 6 will have state-of-the-art anti-cheat measures which will definitely prohibit most cheaters in the game, so that’s going to be a relief for most players out there, be it on PC or console.
Also it’s important to remember that EA is still putting the matchmaking system together in Battlefield 6 so this feature may not be ready by the time the open beta starts rolling out in next week.
Battlefield 6 will also require an EA account along with kernel level anti-cheat measures and even though there’s no mention of the game using Denuvo, it may when the game finally arrives considering all the previous titles in the series have used it.
Battlefield 6 is slated to be released on October 10.
