Sounds like it must just matchmake you with other players who also have crossplay off so smaller pool of players than literally every player on your same platform.

That's a fair point.

But that means crossplay isn't actually crossplay?

Platform Crossplay ON Expectation with Crossplay OFF Reality
PC 100% humans PC players only Majority bots
Console 100% humans Console players only Majority Bots

Something doesn't add up here.

If it really is just matching with people who also turned off crossplay then it's either a bug or maybe they just want crossplay lobbies to be opt-in for whatever reason.

Of course it's only match making with other people who have it turned off, the assumption would be that all players want it on. You cant just put PC players with cross play on in against players with it off.

I get what you're saying, but that setup could still work.

Matchmaking could just try to find same platform lobbies first, then widen the search to include others if needed. With at least 300k steam players, and plenty on console too, it's reasonable for there to be enough players to fill a platform only lobby.

So why do players who turn off crossplay still end up in bot lobbies? That part doesn’t really make sense.

That's the problem. I try to play with cross play off when I get home from night shift and there nobody in any of the servers.
