How to play co-op in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team: Is it cross-platform?

Co-op in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team can earn you plenty of rewards with your friends by playing FUT Rivals and Squad Battles. Here’s a full rundown of exactly how the co-op mode works in FIFA 23, and all the different co-op activities you can experience in the game.

Those who choose to play co-op FUT have the chance to play as one team. This could either be yours, or a friend’s lineup.

An advantage of this is that you can try out cards you don’t already own, for a limited time, while earning rewards for completing matches together.

Here’s exactly how co-op works in FIFA 2023, and all the modes in the game you can enjoy with friends.

Is FIFA 23 cross-platform?

Cross-platform is available in FIFA 23, but it is not active in FIFA 23 co-op mode. That means you can only play with people on the same console as you.

EA has explained that while Division Rivals and FUT Champions have crossplay integration online, it won’t work for cooperative play.

They said: “In FIFA 23, cross-play will be available at launch in FUT Division Rivals (except Co-Op), FUT Champions, FUT Ultimate Online Draft, FUT Online Friendlies (except Co-Op), FUT Play a Friend, Online Friendlies, Online Seasons (except Co-Op Seasons) and the Virtual Bundesliga competitive game mode that is available to players based in Germany.

“Cross-play is initially enabled for all players when launching FIFA 23 for the first time, provided the platform level settings allow for it, and it can be opted out of at any time.”

Co-op modes in FIFA 23
