I don't understand why its a needed thing if consoles don't wanna play with pcs they can just turn it off in the settings and vice versa and also this lack of communication about such an important setting for some is actually crazy especially when this is only communicate at the last 6 days before early access release

Hello,


PvP Crossplay for PC and Consoles has not been implemented for fairness and balancing purposes. We will consider this option later in the live ops planning.

Exactly my thoughts, for such a great game like SM2, it shouldnt block us from playing with friends in any mode. The game is not ranked yet and if it has some ranked dont allow it for the mode only. We should be able to play with everyone in casual pvp games

I agree. I'm having to consider buying it for PC now too just to play PVP with my friends.

I just made this account to come make the same idea suggestion. Please make pvp crossplay opt in/out. If fairness is a reason to do this, please hear us out when we say the fairest thing to do is to make crossplay opt in/out. It is unfair for those who do wish to play with not just their friends, but everyone. I am a console player, for what that is worth.

Skill based matchmaking is also a workaround as I know some people are sick with a controller regardless. The real issue is purchasing a console version based on *crossplay being a feature - a) I want to make use of my console and b) preserve my PC's shelf-life for work purposes and keep maintenance down to a minimum, I hate dealing with drivers and component failures, OS update fails, etc. - and then finding out I won't be rolling with my friends on steam because the sweaties don't want a disadvantage. So dumb. At the very least a toggle lets people play together and deal with the consequences on their own terms.

Yes add the option for players to choose if they pass with crossplay, there is very little advantage with keyboard and mouse if the aim assist is strong anyway. So it's not a big deal especially on third person games like this. 

Give us players the freedom to choose how we play.

Please

Made an account just to comment on this! Let the people play how they wish! An opt-out system harms nobody. People who are opted In can still be match made with people who have opted out if they are all on the same platform

I just bought a new, top of the line PC specifically for this game after crossplay was confirmed to play with my console-only friends. I've invested a lot to play it, but now I'm facing having to also shell out for an Xbox copy of the game to play at 1080p with a controller to play PvP with my friends.  Very disheartening. 


Please consider a crossplay toggle for PvP.

I don't understand the choice to separate us when we have the option to do that ourselves?!?

I made this account to show my support for this


Give us the players the options to toggle ON crossplay with PC in pvp


I'm now seriously thinking about having to buy a copy on console to play with friends in pvp. I much rather just own the PC version

Please remove this restriction so people can enjoy all aspects of this game with friends, regardless of platform. At the very least, this should be an opt-out option in the settings like it is for PvE (with default being crossplay ON).

100% agree.  Freedom to choose.... NOT restriction. Give players the choice to enable/disable crossplay.Don't prevent people from playing and enjoying the game with their friends!!! Crossplay should be "available" to EVERYONE, regardless of the platform they play on.

Literally just signed up for focus together to add to this post and say to make it an option at least. I think to still keep it fair we can have different pools for ranked matches (pc pool v console pool v mixed pool). But even without the break up in ranked pools I would really at least like it as a toggle so I can play PvP with friends (my friends are on PC and I am on PS5).

I get it for balance reasons but there are good and bad controller players and there are also good and bad M&K players, i know some ppl will start to cry about that m&k players are way too good, same with pc players cry that "console players have aim bot"  but in every game no matter the platform there is going to be someone better than you EVERY TIME.


Also i love playing most of the games i can with a controller i dont care if im gonna lose in a game that has pvp multiplayer and what comes to this games pvp, i dont see the problem, many games do this nowdays m&k warrios and controller gamers playing together, (me being pc player.)

I get it the devs are thinking whats best for us i think that we all should be gratefull for that


Just an option to choose for pvp would make a great difference for everyone.

So I can't play PVP with my friends... great, why isnt crossplay enabled for PVP, just add a toggle on console for people worried about cheaters or balance. Limiting people being able to play together is never a good thing.

Please let us players choose to add crossplay with pc and console. I have all my friends on console and i am on pc. We were looking forward to playing pvp together for years now. i cant afford a console to game with them and they cant afford a pc. please let us choose to turn it on. games like gears of war have been crossplay for years without issue and the game style is very similar.
