Modern Warfare 3 allows you to play with players from other platforms including consoles and PC. However, not everyone wants to play against players from other platforms. But the good news is console players can disable crossplay in MW3. Here’s how to turn off crossplay in MW3. 

Not every console player is happy with having to face off against players using their computer. A mouse and keyboard allow for more accuracy and sometimes, faster reaction speeds. In a highly competitive title such as Modern Warfare 3, console players are often not keen on crossplay. Thankfully, there is a way for players to turn off crossplay in MW3.

How to turn Off Crossplay in MW3 on Xbox

  1. Go to Xbox console settings
  2. Navigate to Online Safety and Family tab.
