Multiplayer games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 offer a lot of content to unlock, and while some players prefer to tackle it solo, others take advantage of features like Crossplay to team up with friends on different platforms and share the fun.

Since the release of Modern Warfare (2019), the Call of Duty franchise has implemented a Crossplay system. However, with the launch of Black Ops 6, many players still have questions about how this feature functions, so here’s everything you need to know about Crossplay in BO6.

Yes, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 supports Crossplay and Cross-Platform features, enabling you to team up with friends on any platform, including PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. You can play with friends regardless of their platform, whether they’re added through your console, via Battle.net on PC, or the simplest method – using their Activision ID through the in-game system.

To add friends with the latter option, simply go to the Social Tab in-game, select “Add Friends,” and enter their Activision ID. Once they accept your friend request, they’ll appear in your Black Ops 6 Friends List, allowing you to communicate and play together in-game.
