Quickplay is a mode in video games that lets players jump into a match without customizing settings or waiting for specific conditions.
It prioritizes speed over choice, automatically finding opponents or teammates and selecting maps or game types: I don't have time for ranked—let's just do quickplay.
The term contrasts with competitive or custom modes that require more setup.
