Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is planning crossplay between PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Now we know how it will work.
What is crossplay in Modern Warfare all about? One of the biggest announcements accompanying the reveal of the Modern Warfare reboot was, for many fans, alongside the absence of a season pass and the new engine, the upcoming crossplay feature.
This is how the developers at Infinity Ward plan for players on PC, PS4, and Xbox One to play the new 2019 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare cross-platform together or against each other.
This is what many fans are wondering: Many fans were confused alongside their joy about this news, as there were initially no further details.
How exactly will crossplay work – especially between PC and consoles? Do console players now have to fear being stomped by PC players with mouse and keyboard? Now, finally, more information and clarity have arrived.
Where do these details come from? A staff member from Infinity Ward recently shared a link on Twitter pointing to a related article on the Forbes site.
There, the crossplay feature was explained very well.
Everything we know so far about crossplay in Modern Warfare 2019
This is how crossplay works in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: According to Forbes, the crossplay system in Modern Warfare 2019 works similarly to that of Fortnite, representing a type of “input matchmaking”.
This means you’ll be matched with other players on PS4, Xbox One, and PC who use the same input method as you do.
So if you use a controller (regardless of the platform), you will be matched into lobbies where other players with controllers are waiting and playing. If you use mouse and keyboard on PC, then you will land in lobbies where players use this input method.
However, if you are on PS4 or Xbox One and team up with a PC player who uses mouse and keyboard, you will automatically be assigned to a lobby where mainly PC players are playing. In this case, you as a console player with a controller would primarily encounter PC players who are using mouse and keyboard.
What do you think about this solution? Do you support crossplay under such conditions? Or are you against playing between PC and consoles?
