Important crossplay limits

  • Players can find a friend using their public EA ID, then join a compatible party.
  • Turning off cross-play can increase queues and change who can match with you.

Does my progress transfer?

Account-linking required

EA cross-progression is automatic for linked platform accounts; progress stays associated with the EA account and cannot freely migrate to a different EA identity.

How to play with friends

  1. Open the Friends menu and find the other player using their EA ID.
  2. Confirm both are on supported game versions and account permissions allow multiplayer.
  3. Check linked EA account before changing any platform connections.
