How to Turn Off Crossplay in Wildgate
Written by Andrew Hammel | Wildgate
Wildgate supports full cross-platform play between PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, but you can disable it if you want to play only with players on your platform.
Turning Off Crossplay
Launch Wildgate and go to the Settings menu from the main screen.
Navigate to the Gameplay or Matchmaking tab.
Find the Crossplay option.
Set it to Off or Same Platform Only.
Save your settings and restart matchmaking.
When crossplay is turned off, you will only be placed in lobbies with players using the same platform. This may increase matchmaking times but ensures an even playing field for controller or mouse users.
Why Disable Crossplay
Reduces input mismatch between console controllers and PC mouse players.
Lowers exposure to PC cheats or exploits in competitive matches.
Keeps communication simpler when using platform-specific voice chat.
Final Blurb
Wildgate lets you turn off crossplay directly in its matchmaking settings. This helps players who want same-platform lobbies, even though it may slightly increase wait times.
Check your settings before each session, as updates can reset this option.
