It’s worth noting, too, that there is cross-progression. You can transfer PS4 progress to PS5 and Xbox One progress to Xbox Series X/S. PlayStation cross-progression is for Ultimate Team only.

With all of that in mind, it’s time to find out everything there is to know about FC 25 crossplay and cross-gen multiplayer.

We’ll let you know how online multiplayer works in the game at the end of the page, along with how to turn crossplay on and off.

Is FC 25 crossplay?

Yes, FC 25 is crossplay enabled, and you can play online with friends across different platforms.

However, there are some complications, and crossplay doesn’t work for everyone.

Nintendo Switch players, for instance, cannot play FC 25 against other people on different consoles. FC 25 on Switch is online against other Switch players only.

This is how crossplay works across platforms in FC 25:

• Current-generation consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC)
• Old-generation consoles (PS4 and Xbox One)

With that, we move on to the game’s cross-gen capabilities.

Is FC 25 cross-gen?

No. FC 25 is not cross-gen. This means PS5, Xbox Series X/S or PC players cannot play with or against those on PS4 or Xbox One.

The game’s PC version offers cross-platform multiplayer with PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, not PS4 and Xbox One.

How does multiplayer work in FC 25?

FC 25 crossplay is enabled by default. You can switch it off if you want under ‘Social’ or ‘Matchmaking Settings’.
