Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players on PC are sharing their frustrations online, after it was revealed that console players will soon be able to turn off crossplay with the platform. The change could affect the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 player count on PC massively, which could result in longer wait times for matches.

The reason for the change is seemingly obvious. Cheating is a big issue in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and it’s common that many of these cheaters play on PC. While it’s true that there are still console cheaters, there seem to be fewer of them than those on PC. This has led to many console players becoming frustrated that they’re forced to play with PC players, with some asking Treyarch for the option to remove PC crossplay entirely. While Call of Duty has frequently addressed ongoing anti-cheat measures, it has undeniably been an ongoing issue for the game.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Blackcell Pass Adding Another New Feature With Season 3

Activision reveals another new feature for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s controversial Blackcell Battle Pass will be arriving with Season 3.

In the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 3 patch notes, it was revealed that console players will finally be able to active console-only crossplay, removing PC from the pool entirely. A Reddit thread about the issue prompted polarizing responses from players, with one saying they “hate this change but I get it,” while also pointing out that it could affect queue times on the platform. Another user was a little more blunt towards Treyarch, stating the studio “should fix their anti-cheat instead of isolating PC players.”

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 PC Players Don’t Want Console-Only Crossplay Options

One of the concerns that seemed to come up among other PC players was not just the smaller population, but the fact that if cheaters aren’t being banned, there is now a higher chance of matching with one in matchmaking. This could make the PC Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 multiplayer experience much worse overall, although others pointed out that there will be many casual console players who simply don’t use the option in the first place. Gamers will have to wait and see how the update affects things upon Season 3’s launch.

After Season 3 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was delayed at the start of March, fans have had to wait patiently for the next major drop of content. The patch notes look like it’ll be worth the wait, with several new maps and modes to enjoy in the upcoming Season. Some fan favorites are returning, too, with Firing Range and the Demolition game mode on the way. Black Ops 6 Season 3 released on April 2.
