"A kind reminder: when using native KBM input, cross-play will be automatically enabled to ensure a fair competitive environment."

This means console players who wish to use Keyboard and Mouse as their input devices will automatically be paired with PC players to maintain the game's competitive integrity. Regarding the security of the KBM implementation, the Game Director also stated:

"At the same time, our security team enforces a strict zero-tolerance policy against commonly used console adapters (such as XIM MATRIX, Cronus Zen, AIMZENIX, and similar devices) that simulate controllers to use a mouse without enabling cross-play, which will be punished."

This is a step in the right direction, as console adapters like XIM and Cronus are notorious for breaking competitive integrity in multiplayer titles, notably in Ubisoft's Rainbow Six Siege X.
