Method 3: Check Wifi Connection
For the majority of users, they use a closed Wifi connection which blocks some packets to discover devices connected to the network. Please try to connect with alternative Wifi networks if available. If it doesn’t, you may also connect your PC/Console with a Mobile hotspot and see if it helps.
Method 4: Configure NAT Type
NAT type stands for Network Address Translation. It is a simple process which takes your private internet IP on a local network and translates it to a public IP so you can easily connect with your friends online.
This is quite an important setting for online multiplayer games, but most users do not configure the same. Ideally, it would be best to make sure the NAT type opens so you can enjoy the crossplay feature without any issues.
For PC users:
- Open the PC setting and navigate to the Wifi option.
- Here open Wifi settings for the Wifi you are connected to.
- Enable the “Turn on network discover” option.
- Also, checkbox the “Turn on automatic setup of network-connected devices” option.
- Once this is done, restart the game, and the issue will be solved.
For PlayStation users:
- Open PS4/PS5 setting menu and navigate to the Network option.
- Click on the “View Connection Status” button.
- Here you can check the NAT type below. Ideally, it must be NAT type 1 for crossplay to work correctly.
For Xbox users:
- Open Xbox settings and navigate to the System > network option.
- Here you will be able to check the current NAT type.
- To change the NAT type, go to network settings, choose Alternate port selection, and switch from Automatic to Manual.
- Now choose from the list of available ports and see which ports give you NAT type open.
Method 5: Contact Activision Support
