You’ll also be able to see additional friend information in the social menu and local-platform friends list just by highlighting a player. These details include: The in-game social menu has been built to allow players to search for and add friends, including across platforms. To access it, follow the social icon in the bottom right corner of the FIFA 23 main menu (it’s also on additional screens throughout the game). Let’s dive deeper into the social menu’s features. Just like game invites, friend requests will appear in the social menu with a notification that allows you to directly accept or decline. If you miss it, the red indicator will show up on the social icon in the corner of your screen. When opened, the request can be found in the Friend requests tab. Player Search Following the cross-play test in FIFA 22 to Online Friendlies and Online Seasons, we’re expanding on the availability of cross-play to more game modes for FIFA 23, as well as increasing the number of included platforms. In FIFA 23, cross-play will be available for players on the same platform generation. PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Stadia, and PC versions of FIFA 23 will be cross-play compatible with one another, and PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of FIFA 23 will be cross-play compatible with one another.

From the social menu, you’ll be able to receive game invites from players on the same platform as well as cross-platform. Searches will show you all matches across the various platforms and their respective platform indicator icons. Within Division Rivals, players who have opted out of cross-play will continue to see the Elite Top 200 leaderboard displaying the same platform view as it appeared in FIFA 22. The same rules listed for the Division Rivals leaderboard apply to the Club Value Leaderboard as well. Platform splits are the same, and players are able to toggle between the global and local views if they have cross-play enabled. Squad Battles LeaderboardOnce you find the person you’re searching for, you can send them a friend request. When accepted, both players will see their new friend appear in the Friends tab in the social menu. Recently Met Here, players will find all the friends they’ve added through their local platform’s friend list and/or EA Network. Players can then send invites to friends within all the FIFA 23 game modes we mentioned above while the two friend lists are unique, both are displayed within the social menu and they can each facilitate invites within all applicable game modes in FIFA 23. Underaged accounts that have obtained parental approval to play online, will still be able to access all other cross-platform features. Further, underaged accounts can still add 1st party friends via existing 1st party flows and send/receive game invites within their own platform. With this expansion of cross-play, FIFA 23 will see multiple groupings of the FUT Transfer Market, and we’ll share more information about that further down in this article. Additionally, we are planning a new social widget called EA Social. EA Social will help bridge the gap between platforms for cross-play, and also allows players further ease of access when finding, adding, and playing with their local-platform and cross-platform friends.

With the implementation of cross-play, the Elite Top 200 will also have a global leaderboard. You can only view this leaderboard while you have cross-play enabled, but you can toggle between the global leaderboard and the same platform (local) leaderboard. They think it’s all over … The football sim series that has graced the gaming charts every year since its launch in 1993 is about to face the final whistle, thanks to a licensing tussle with Fifa. Next year, Electronic Arts will be revealing its annoyingly named replacement, EA Sports FC, but for now, we get to run out on to this heavily branded pitch one last time. Hello everyone, we are Delaney Leatherdale and Liam Caswell, two producers who are very excited to share with you details on the inclusion of cross-play coming to EA SPORTS™ FIFA 23. Cross-play will allow players to compete and play with friends and opponents on different platforms of the same generation in a variety of online game modes in FIFA 23. Table Of ContentsNote: cross-play availability can potentially be impacted on a platform by platform basis by things like planned or unplanned maintenances, server releases, Title Updates, unexpected downtime, or matchmaking updates.
