FIFA 22 is out now, launching first in early access via EA Play, and one of the biggest new features is online co-op in Ultimate Team. Since you’re able to play with friends now, you’ll want to jump online with whoever you can. So that you know who exactly you’re able to team up with, here’s everything you need to know about whether FIFA 22 is cross platform.
Online multiplayer is a huge part of FIFA. Whether it be forming a squad in Clubs, taking friends’ teams on in FUT Friendlies, or taking a League Two team to Division One champions, it’s where most of the series’ fun is.
Is FIFA 22 Cross Platform?
Unfortunately, there is no cross platform play at all in FIFA 22. EA does not seem to be fans of cross platform play and they haven’t changed their stance for this year’s soccer title.
This will also carry over for the next generation of consoles. Not only will PS5 players not be able to play with Xbox Series X players, but players on different generations of consoles from the same family of systems also won’t be able to play together.
What that means is, while FUT progress will carry over from PS4 to PS5, players on PS4 will not be able to play with or against people on PS5. EA Sports confirmed this in the FIFA 22 FAQ regarding Dual Entitlement. They said:
You will be able to match up with and against other players based on the version of FIFA 22 that you are playing.
If you are playing the PlayStation 4 version of FIFA 22 you will be able to match up and play with and against other players who are playing on the same version of FIFA 22, regardless of whether they are playing on PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5.
The same is true for the Xbox One version of FIFA 22, where you will be able to match up and play with and against other players who are playing the same version on Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S.
If you are playing the PlayStation 5 version of FIFA 22, you will only be able to match up with and play against other players who are playing the PlayStation 5 version. The same is true for the Xbox Series X|S version of FIFA 22, where only players on Xbox Series X|S will be able to play each other.
