MW3 provides players the option for crossplay, allowing them to face off against players using different platforms. However, if you’re looking for a more balanced matchmaking experience, you can also turn off crossplay in MW3.

Modern Warfare 3 follows MW2’s crossplay functionality, allowing players to engage in gameplay alongside friends using diverse platforms. This feature widens the player community and streamlines matchmaking by facilitating fights with opponents across all platforms.

However, you may not be enthusiastic about this feature, especially when playing MW3’s Ranked Play mode, considering you can encounter PC cheaters and hackers which can ultimately ruin the competitive experience.

Therefore, if you don’t like having crossplay on in Modern Warfare 3, then here’s how to turn it off.

Turning off crossplay in MW3

The method of turn off crossplay in MW3 is different on both PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and, unfortunately, PC users do not have the luxury of disabling crossplay yet.

Disabling crossplay offers fans the ability to enjoy the game with players exclusively on the same platform, leveling both the playing conditions and controller input.

How to turn off crossplay in MW3 Ranked Play

Since its release, MW3 Ranked Play players are reporting that some of their matches have been plagued with cheaters, which is ruining the competitive experience. However, many have found that disabling crossplay on consoles significantly helps achieve the intended experience.

So, here’s how you can turn off crossplay in MW3 for Ranked Play or any other mode on both PlayStation and Xbox.

Turning off crossplay in MW3 on PlayStation

1. From the Modern Warfare 3 menu, click the Options button to open the game’s Settings.
2. Select Account & Network.
3. When entered, you’ll see the Crossplay option inside the Online section.
4. Toggle the Crossplay option to ‘Off.’

Turning off crossplay in MW3 on Xbox

1. Head to the main Xbox console settings.
2. Go to the Online Safety and Family tab.

4. Open Xbox Privacy and scroll to Communication and Multiplayer.
5. Set the cross-network play setting to block.

When Crossplay is set to ‘Off,’ MW3 matchmaking only uses your current gaming platform.

If you decide to change your mind at any point or if you find that the matchmaking wait time is longer than you prefer, just follow these steps again and switch the options back to their default to open the floodgates yet again.

It’s also important to note that Xbox users may have to restart their console for the setting to work, so it’s worth doing that after completing the steps.
