FIFA fans can finally play together no matter what console they’re using – sort of.
Makers EA are publicly testing crossplay support on the game for the first time, something players have requested for years.

But there is a slight catch.
For starters, it’s only open to those with a PS5, Xbox Series X/S or Google Stadia.
And secondly, you can only go against each other for Online Seasons and Online Friendlies.
So no Ultimate Matches at the moment – and no word on whether it’ll launch at a later stage.
“We are confident that the game data and feedback that we get from these two modes will help inform how crossplay could further be implemented in future titles,” EA said.
A button prompt will start to appear on the main Fifa 22 screen from your console, which allows you to control crossplay.
It’ll be switched on by default.
You can also activate – or deactivate – it by going to the Matchmaking Options Settings.
Once set up, you can search for your friend by their platform or EA username.
EA says the new feature will popup in the “near future”.
It also wants feedback from users so it can perfect the idea for future Fifa releases – possibly as soon as Fifa 23, which has long been rumoured.
All this comes at a great time for Fifa, as the game was recently added to PS Plus for free.
