More and more Halo Infinite players are calling for more cross-play online options, as the PC version of the cheating problem is still serious. While many multiplayer games allow players to opt-out of cross-platform matchmaking in certain parts of the game, the Xbox makes it difficult for players to experience the multiplayer portions of Halo: Infinite and Call of Duty Warzone without pitting against PC players.
Since the cheats for these games are mostly PC versions, cross-platform play can easily ruin the gaming experience for console players in general. Calls for more cross-play options in Halo Infinite began as early as the game’s November beta launch, though players didn’t know at the time whether the game would include more effective countermeasures against cheating when the full version was released. countermeasures.

But even so, cross-platform adversaries remain. We reported yesterday that officials have announced that a new anti-cheat patch will be released in February.
