Which platforms are crossplay in EA FC 25?

Crossplay only works in EA FC 25 between platforms of the same generation. So, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC can all play together across the various modes, as can PS4 and Xbox One.

However, it’s not possible to join a friend from a different generation, so a PS5 owner can’t join a Pro Club with a PS4 player, even though they’re in the same console ecosystem.

There are also no cross-platform features available on Nintendo Switch. This is because the Switch version doesn’t come with many of the modern features and animations seen on other platforms, and feels like a vastly different game.
