Is FIFA 23 cross-platform?
EA SPORTSCross-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.”
