FC 24 Crossplay Guide

Platforms and Game Modes


FC 24 crossplay is the ability to play the game with players from different platforms. It means you are no longer limited to playing with friends with the same console.

Cross-play is available for players on the same platform generation:

  • PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC;
  • PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

This feature was first introduced in May 2022, when Electronic Arts tested it in FIFA 22, but it had several limitations. In FIFA 23 it was introduced since the launch date. For the first Football Club title, crossplay is available in all multiplayer online modes.

FC 24 Crossplay Features


Highly requested by the fans, crossplay does not directly impact the gameplay of FC 24. That’s why only players from the same console generation can play each other.

The ability to play with friends is not the only good thing about crossplay. A much bigger pool of players means faster matchmaking and also that you face opponents of your level more often.

Ultimate Team is the game mode more impacted by this new feature. With the addition of Ultimate Team crossplay, the Transfer Market is the same for all platforms, with the exception of PC and Switch, which continue to have their own separate markets.

A single market helps level the playing field in the availability of massive FC 24 cards, address pricing differences and ensure that all players face the same competition. Additionally, crossplay is a game-changer feature for platforms where the transfer market doesn’t have many items.

How to Crossplay


Cross-play allows people who play the same game on different systems to play together. If you opt into crossplay, you’ll be playing online against players on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, or PC; PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. If you decide not to opt-in, you’ll only play against players on the same system as you.

If you opt-out of cross-play, it could potentially take longer to find an opponent when matchmaking, as it naturally reduces the amount of potential opponents that could be found. Opting into cross-play will ensure that matchmaking will look for the largest pool of potential opponents possible.

How to enable Crossplay
  1. From the main FC screen, go to [Settings];
  2. Select [Online Settings];
  3. Select [Matchmaking Options];
  4. Select [Online Settings];
  5. Choose ‘Yes’ for ‘Cross-Play Opt-in/Opt-out’. If you decide to disable crossplay, you just need to change it back to ‘No’.

When cross-play is enabled, there is a widget in the bottom right-hand corner of the main FC 24 menu that can be opened with the corresponding button prompt. From this EA Social widget, you can enable/disable crossplay, search for friends regardless of their platform, and block and/or mute someone if desired.

Similar to other game modes, cross-play in Clubs will be generation-specific, meaning that PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players can hit the pitch together, while players across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC can do so as well. From creation, no club will be locked to the platform of the creator, meaning public clubs can immediately be discovered and joined by players from any platform of the same generation.

If for any reason you’re looking to play a match exclusively with players from your platform, you only need to set your local cross-play setting to ‘Disabled’ and be the first player to enter your Clubs match lobby. The cross-play setting of your lobby will remain until all players have exited.

  • their Gamertag if they’re on Xbox.
Once you’ve found your friends, add them to your list so you’ll see them there whenever they’re online.

Assuming crossplay is enabled, you can select his name from your friend’s list in the widget and follow the button prompts to invite him to a match.
When you’re searching for a friend on the main menu widget, you will see a crossplay platform indicator beside his name. If your friend is on the same platform as you, the indicator will show the platform you’re on. If your friend is on a different platform, a different Indicator will be shown.
