11. How will it affect wait times for matchmaking?

Cross-play increases player pools significantly, so that more players are looking for matches at each skill level. This should reduce wait times and lead to faster matchmaking.

Note: Cross-play availability can potentially be impacted on a platform by platform basis by things like planned or unplanned maintenance, server releases, Title Updates, unexpected downtime, or matchmaking updates.
