How do you enable crossplay on PlayStation 5? Where do you have to set crossplay support on the PlayStation 5 so that you can also play together with players on the PS4 or on the Xbox One and the PC? These questions may concern one or other owner of the new PS5 from Sony who wants to compete against friends or other players on different platforms.
PlayStation 5: Activate and set crossplay?
Similar to the PS4, there is no direct setting option on the PlayStation 5 itself with which you can activate or deactivate crossplay. If you want to play a game on the PS5 in crossplay, you have to set this in the settings of the respective game. The crossplay-capable games include, for example, Call of Duty Cold War or the popular battle royale mode Warzone. The crossplay setting can NOT be found in the system settings of the PS5, but rather in the respective game settings.
You can then deactivate crossplay on the PS5 in the same way. If you don’t want to play a game across platforms with other players, then you have to set this in the game settings, if there is a setting option (which is the case with most games). In some PS4 or PS5 games, crossplay is activated by default, for example in Call of Duty, in other games you have to activate crossplay support manually in order to use it.
