Does EA FC 24 have crossplay?

EA FC 24 does feature crossplay but only in specific modes for same-generation platforms.

This means that PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC users will be able to play together, while PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners can do the same.

Unfortunately, crossplay isn’t available at all for the Nintendo Switch version of the game.

Which EA FC 24 modes have crossplay?

For the very first time, EA will enable crossplay for all of its multiplayer online modes. These include:

  • Pro Clubs

  • VOLTA Football (Arcade/Squads)
  • Ultimate Team Co-Op (Squad Battles, Rivals, and Friendlies)
  • Ultimate Team (Rivals, Champions, Online Draft, Online Friendlies, and Play a Friend)

  1. Go to the game’s main lobby.
  2. Open the bottom right “EA Connect” menu by pressing the right joystick.
  3. There you’ll see all your online/offline friends, requests, invites, and more.
  4. Pick an online friend you want to play with.
