A Battlefield 6 PC player was banned from the Steam community after sharing methods to disable crossplay. This occurred recently via an isolated moderator action, as reported in a Reddit thread.
Crossplay Configuration on PC
Unlike consoles, Battlefield 6 on PC lacks a crossplay toggle in its menu. PC players have been editing configuration files to disable it. The reported method involves modifying the PROFSAVE_profile file to include the command "Gstgameplay.CrossPlayEnable 0". This adjustment mimics the console crossplay settings.
Implications and Moderation
Though the ban appeared to be a Steam moderation decision, it was not an in-game ban, and several similar posts remain online. This suggests a potential error by an individual moderator. The incident raises questions about Steam’s community guidelines regarding modifications.
