Overview

• Activision's Season 3 update for Call of Duty, releasing April 3, 2025, introduces new crossplay matchmaking options for console players.
• Players can now choose between full crossplay, console-only matchmaking, and platform-specific matchmaking for ranked and unranked multiplayer modes, as well as Warzone.
• The update addresses long-standing player frustrations with cheating, which is more prevalent on PC, though it does not fully resolve the issue.
• The return of the Verdansk map, along with new multiplayer maps, modes, and weapons, enhances the gaming experience for players.
• While the new settings may slightly increase matchmaking times, the large console player base is expected to minimize delays.
