The majority of multiplayer games support some form of crossplay these days, but FIFA has been a holdout. While Sony’s own sports series MLB The Show integrated the feature last year, EA Sports has been reluctant to enable it. However, a test in the PS5 version of FIFA 22 – this month’s PS Plus game – is now live, enabling footie fans to kick-off against Xbox Series X|S and Google Stadia players.
The functionality is limited to Online Seasons and Online Friendlies right now, so no Ultimate Team or Pro Clubs for the time being. You’ll also be able to opt out from the main menu if, for whatever reason, you don’t want to use it. If you go ahead, however, you’ll be able to create an in-game friends list so you can play with your pals on other platforms.
It’s widely expected that FIFA 23 will feature full crossplay across the board, so this feels like EA Sports testing its netcode ahead of the new game’s launch. Are you happy to see the publisher move forward with this widely requested feature? Prove that PS5 owners deserve a Champions League spot in the comments section below.

Colossal news for the five people playing this on Stadia. They can finally play online!
@ShogunRok Stadia, is that some holiday gaming destination 🙊
@ShogunRok There are five of them? didn't you count some of them twice?
Only few comments but my lack of stadia players joke has already been done 🤣🤣
Pro Clubs support won’t come till FIFA 23, if the mode still exists that is.
Is it really though 😅
Have fun getting destroyed by mouse and keyboard players on stadia.
Can you crossplay PS5 to PS4 yet? Last time I tried this it didn't work..
@VatoLoco47 given that there are two different versions of the game on xbox and they don't let you as well I'd think not.
@Cherip-the-Ripper Damn..
