Cold War beta console players are turning off cross play to avoid PC cheaters

The upcoming FPS is currently in its beta stages across all gaming platforms which include PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. But every since the crossplay feature was enabled between generations and platforms (as it is one of the game's big features) it also brought a wave of hackers who made use of cheating software for cold war beta PC to ruin the game for everybody else on console.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War console players were forced to turn off the cross-platform play functionality this weekend to avoid PC hackers. To be clear, the shooter isn't actually out until November 13 - this was just a beta.

This weekend there was a major rise in the PC cheaters in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War beta. Due to this, the console players were forced to turn off the functionality of cross-platform play to avoid these PC hackers. The full release of this shooter is yet to be seen on November 13, which means that progress in the beta won't carry over into the full release. 

Despite this, there are cheaters on PC which also means that they weren't using cheats for getting ahead but just doing it for cheating. Call of Duty: Warzone was also suffering from the same issue and the company Activision had to update the game's matchmaking so that the cheaters would be able to play only against other cheaters, along with issuing thousands of bans.
