Cross-play clarification

Based solely on what their Twitter account posted earlier, it sure does seem like anybody will be able to play anybody.

"No matter what platform or generation you are on."



I take that to mean that PS4 users can play against someone playing on XBox Series X, PS5 can play against XBox One, and the typical cross-gen (PS4 vs PS5, XBOne vs XSX)

Re: Cross-play clarification

Not according to posts from SDS devs on the show forum. They have answered questions about that specifically.

Possible:
PS4 vs Xbox One
PS4 vs PS5
Xbox One vs Xbox series
Xbox series vs PS5

Not possible:
PS4 vs Xbox series
PS5 vs Xbox One

Summary:
Only possible is inter-generation OR inter-ecosystem.
Not possible is cross-generation AND cross-ecosystem.

Re: Cross-play clarification

I don't know.

I'm just saying from the specific wording today, anybody can play anybody.

"No matter what platform, no matter what generation"

If that isn't the case, they should clear it up.

Unless they change it (can’t imagine they would though), the FAQ specifically states the above.

Re: Cross-play clarification

Bit disappointed by cross-gen announcement.

I am all for cross-play but the fact you can play someone on the previous gen tells me that the "next-gen" improvements are not very substantial.

Which irritates me over the price increase. I know we will get the bells and whistles of a performance mode and dualsense features and some nice improvements. But still a bit disheartening.

This was my exact thought as well.

Gameplay can be the same between generations, but PS5 & Series X could have enhancements to Franchise mode (larger rosters, etc.), create a stadium, more uniforms, and stuff like that which wouldn't be impacted by having to be able to play against other consoles.

Re: Cross-play clarification

With regards to the previous information I posted here about cross-platform, I was incorrect. Dev has confirmed on the show forum that PS5 can play online v Xbox One X, and PS4 v Xbox Series X.

I stand corrected; however in my defence the full faq answer does make it sound like it’s not the case.
