In the ongoing discourse surrounding Battlefield 6, a notable development has emerged for PC players who prefer to engage in combat without the influence of console gamers. A recent Reddit thread has shed light on the possibility of disabling crossplay on PC, albeit with some unexpected consequences for those who dare to share this information.
Crossplay Disabling Controversy
The situation came to light when a user reported that their friend faced a ban from the Battlefield 6 community on Steam after posting instructions on how to disable crossplay. While anecdotal evidence often raises eyebrows, the accompanying ban message appeared authentic, and the method described indeed functions as intended.

This incident is reminiscent of the early days of gaming, where players often had to delve into configuration files to enhance their experience. For instance, back in 1998, I edited a config file to improve NPC pathfinding in Baldur’s Gate, a task that felt rewarding and necessary. In the case of Battlefield 6, the process is even simpler, as it merely replicates a feature that console players can access through their menus.
The question arises: why was the individual banned from the Steam community for sharing this information? While some of the language used in the post may not have been entirely diplomatic, it appears that a moderator may have acted impulsively. Interestingly, another user shared the same instructions in a different thread just a few hours later, and that post remains unscathed.
For those interested in disabling crossplay, the process is straightforward. Simply follow these steps:
- Open a text editor.
- Navigate to C:Users’your profile’documentsbattlefield 6settingssteamPROFSAVE_profile.
- Add “Gstgameplay.CrossPlayEnable 0” (without quotes) at the end of the file.
- Save the changes.
With this simple adjustment, crossplay in Battlefield 6 is disabled, allowing players to fully embrace their PC gaming experience. Congratulations to those who take this step!
