Here is everything you need to know about all the cross-play features in FIFA 23 and how you can use them to play with your friends on other platforms.
FIFA 23 is expanding cross-play for its players beyond what they had tested out in FIFA 22. This means that you’ll be able to play with friends in a variety of ways.
But you’ll need to know how to activate cross-play and which modes actually support it for it to work.
Does FIFA 23 Have Crossplay?
Yes, cross-play in FIFA 23 is automatically enabled and supported for all platforms, with the exception of Nintendo Switch.
One important thing to note is that cross-play has generational limitations. Due to these reasons, players will only be able to cross-play in the following configurations:
- Xbox One/PS4
- PS5/Xbox Series X|S/PC/Stadia
When you first launch FIFA 23, you will receive a prompt that you can interact with to opt out of cross-play.
This is one of the biggest changes to FIFA 23, alongside the completely revamped chemistry system in Ultimate Team.
How to Disable Cross-Play
If you want to disable cross-play in FIFA 23, then follow these steps:
- Head to the FIFA 23 Main Menu.

- Change the “Opt-in to Cross-Play” option from either:
