Players hoping to turn crossplay off in Call of Duty: MW3 are in luck. It’s very easy to do, and below, we explain how to do it on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
Crossplay allows fans to play with one another regardless of which platform they’re on. Essentially, with crossplay enabled, it means that if you’re on PlayStation, you can still play with your friends on Xbox or PC, and vice versa. MW3 has crossplay enabled automatically to ensure that you can play with as many people as possible from the get-go. However, crossplay can also mean you end up against PC players, who typically have the advantage over those using a controller. Fortunately, it is very easy to turn crossplay off in MW3.
