If you’re trying to narrow down the types of players you’re getting into lobbies with in Modern Warfare 2, you’re going to want to turn off crossplay.
Crossplay is what allows players on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC to play together in one lobby. Turning off this feature will limit you to only playing with other players on the system you own.
Crossplay can be turned off in Modern Warfare 2
If you’re on a PC, you won’t have the option to turn this off. This is because PC players are seen as having the greatest advantage due to higher-end equipment.
For PlayStation users, it’s a simple in-game toggle that you’ll want to change from on to off. On Xbox, it’s a system setting you have to adjust instead.
Turning off crossplay on PS5
- Open Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
- Press X to enter the main menu
- Press the Options button to open the side menu
- Move to the Settings section by using R1
- Choose Account & Network
- Press X on Crossplay and Crossplay Communication to switch it off in MW2
This will prevent Xbox and PC players from being in your games.
Turning off crossplay on Xbox
This is a bit different, so make sure to follow the instructions in order.
- Head to the Xbox dashboard
- Select General
- Select Online Safety and Family
- Select Privacy and Online Safety
- Click to open Xbox Privacy
- Select View Details and Customise
- Choose Communication and Multiplayer
- Find the You Can Join Cross-Network Play section and switch it to Block\
This will disable crossplay for Xbox users, not allowing you to play with PC or PlayStation players.
