How FIFA 23 crossplay works, who can play with whom:
“Cross-play” is functional for players who play on the same generation of platforms. For example, the PS5, Xbox Series, and PC versions of FIFA 23 communicate with each other, allowing players on those platforms to play together if they wish. While the PS4 and Xbox One versions of FIFA 23 are isolated from the rest, but players of these two platforms can still play together through crossplay. The feature is normally enabled by default on all game media.
But you can check for yourself that it is active by pressing the "R2" key (PlayStation), the "RT" key (Xbox) when you are at the game's home page to open the social tab. Then open social and crossplay settings by pressing the pause/start button on your controller.
You should know that crossplay is not yet active for all game modes and above all it is not possible to play FUT23 modes in cooperation with online players with crossplay activated. At the launch of FIFA 23, crossplay is functional for matchmaking in the modes "FUT Division Rivals", "FUT Champions", "Online Draft", "FUT Ultimate", "FUT Online Friendlies", "FUT Compete Against One". friend” and “Online friendlies”.
Be careful, don't forget that it doesn't work in co-op mode! Similarly, to play against a friend in crossplay, you must both have created your club and only the "Online Friendlies" and "FUT Face a Friend" modes are allowed.
EA teams ensure that players will see an evolution of crossplay on FIFA 23 throughout its existence. Additions and modifications are therefore to be expected over time! In the meantime, you know what to expect!
