Over the following days, access to Cross-Platform Matchmaking will be widened until Ones eliminator, HUT rush, Clubs 6v6, Drop-in 3v3, drop-in 6v6, HUT champions, Clubs 3v3, threes eliminator, and HUT rivals all have full Cross-Platform Matchmaking capabilities. Below is the full rollout schedule for Cross-Platform Matchmaking.
