Forced cross-play in Black Ops 6 ranked matches has players worried about cheaters ahead of the Challengers Cups.

As a long-time console gamer who’s been through the trials and tribulations of Call of Duty ranked matches, I can’t help but feel a sense of dread as Treyarch and Activision announced that crossplay will be forced for Black Ops 6’s ranked matches in Season 2025. I remember the good old days when console players could enjoy a relatively fair game without the constant threat of cheaters running rampant. But now, it seems like we’re back to square one.


With the Call Of Duty League announcing its schedule for Season 2025, numerous players are gearing up for increased competition in their ranked matchups.

In the latest live broadcast on Twitch by LunchTime, viewers found out that multiplayer ranked matches in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will always be active, which has left a number of console players feeling quite frustrated.

As console gamers are essentially forced to compete with other platforms like PC, it has gradually evolved into a breeding ground for cheaters in Black Ops 6, who have been exploiting matches without remorse.

As the inaugural Challengers Cups are set for November 23, ambitious competitors must take crossplay into account while readying themselves for their initial matches in this prestigious tournament.

In simpler terms, the latest update on Black Ops 6 has outlined the mechanics of controller aim-assist during close combat, and making players compete together through ranked matches could potentially lead to chaos in competitive games. It’s not desirable for gamers to face off against opponents who have a more powerful aim-assist, especially when cross-play is compulsory.

The bigger issue is dealing with cheaters. Controller players have aim-assist, but PCs are plagued with cheaters who can do anything to ruin everyone’s games. Having to deal with that while aiming for a spot in the Challengers Cups will definitely have a negative effect on some players.

numerous people responding to @LunchTime_YT’s X post generally shared their discontent towards Treyarch’s management of ranked games during the franchise’s largest release, historically speaking.

Given the high-stakes, ranked and competitive matches, it’s crucial that Treyarch and Activision take action to prevent cheating, as suggested by numerous fans.

As forced cross-play has been introduced, I find myself needing to hone my skills and adapt to the occasional cheater in order to progress, or else I’ll have to grind through more matches if I want to prepare effectively for upcoming amateur gaming tournaments.

Players are still hopeful that Treyarch and Activision reconsider forced cross-play, and it is understandable that players wouldn’t want their esports experience to be ruined by some wall-hacking cheaters.
