The Marathon Server Slam Playtest is finally here, and the multiplayer extraction shooter is available across multiple platforms at launch. Thankfully, crossplay is viable, and it’s turned on by default, so you can interact with friends across other devices.
However, not everybody likes to have crossplay enabled; whether that’s due to wanting to face players using the same devices, or because of PC cheating concerns, it’s a valid concern to have. That being said, it’s not immediately obvious whether you can turn crossplay off during the Marathon Server Slam Playtest.
Luckily for you, Insider Gaming has it all figured out. If you’re curious as to whether you can turn off crossplay during the Marathon Server Slam Playtest, then you’re in the right place.
Can You Turn Off Crossplay During The Marathon Server Slam Playtest?
Yes, you can turn off crossplay during the Marathon Server Slam Playtest, but interestingly, only on certain platforms.
Players on PS5 or Xbox Series X|S can easily turn off crossplay, so you can ensure that your lobbies only contain other console players like yourselves. However, fans on PC aren’t quite so lucky, as it’s impossible to turn it off.
