How to Disable Crossplay in MLB The Show 26 on Xbox

MoonGossamer

If you want to stick to playing only with Xbox players in MLB The Show 26, turning off crossplay is easy. You have two main ways to do it: inside the game or through your Xbox system settings.

Method 1: Disable Crossplay In-Game

This is the easiest and most focused method since it only affects MLB The Show.

• Open Your Profile: From the main menu, go to the top-left corner and select your User Profile icon.
• Find the Crossplay Option: Look through your profile tabs for the Crossplay setting—it may appear as a small controller icon.
• Turn It Off: Toggle it to Off.
  

Tip: If the option is greyed out, make sure you’re in the Main Menu, not inside Diamond Dynasty or another sub-mode.

Method 2: Disable Crossplay Through Xbox Settings

If the in-game option doesn’t work, you can turn off crossplay for all games at the system level.

• Press the Xbox button to open the guide and scroll to Profile & system > Settings.
• Go to Account > Privacy & online safety.
• Select Xbox privacy > View details & customize.
• Open Communication & multiplayer.
• Find “You can join cross-network play” and set it to Block.
  

Things to Keep in Mind

• Longer Matchmaking Times: Without crossplay, you’ll only face Xbox players, so matches might take longer.
• Better Performance: Some players turn off crossplay to reduce input lag or avoid facing players on different hardware setups.
  

Turning off crossplay can make your games feel more consistent if you prefer to stick to the Xbox-only community, but remember that it can also slow down matchmaking.
