Modern Warfare 2: How to Turn Off Crossplay

Do you want to play in your platform lobbies instead of crossplay lobbies? Here’s how to turn off crossplay in Modern Warfare 2.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) was the first CoD title to introduce crossplay. Crossplay has become a staple in the gaming industry since Fortnite brought it into the limelight. It allows players from all platforms to play in the same lobby, increasing the game’s total player base.

Similarly, Modern Warfare 2 is also no exception. The game has strong crossplay compatibility that allows players from all platforms to play together without any problems. However, some players might want to play in their lobbies. So this guide will provide you with a step-by-step walkthrough on how to disable crossplay in Modern Warfare 2.
