Similarly I have a friend on PS5 who has loaded the PS4 version as I'm on xbox one playing with another friend who's on PS4.
So the 2 friends can find each other on PSN but when I search for my friend via his GT I can't find him.
He's not sure of his EA ID as that was previously linked to his old xbox account which he no longer uses.

Very similar issue here on PC. Can't play with a friend who's on Xbox One. We couldn't find each other on EA for a long time eventually I had to sign into his origin on my PC and add myself from his account via email search. When we're both online it appears on BF2042 that he's offline and I can't invite him under the EA friends list. When we try to search each other's EA ID's under the invite tab nothing comes up for either of us. And then we can't add each other in game, we don't appear in game under the friends tab, and we can't play together. If I had known this would be and issue I would've bought the game on PS4 but I have friends on gen 4 consoles and PC and I can't play with both at the same time. Nor am I trying to pay and additional $60 for the game on PS4. Origin needs to fix this because the gen 5 consoles are hard enough to get. Maybe don't require the 128 person lobbies if you're trying to play together. I've wasted so much time trying to troubleshoot this that I don't even want to play anymore if I have to play solo.
DICE TeamRecommend logging into https://myaccount.ea.com/cp-ui/aboutme/index to see what your EA ID is.

I've tried everything above and nothing works.
Adding via EA search seems to be the common reply here and trust me I've searched for countless people to play the game with and can't ever find them!. Doesn't matter of it's PSN or PC they never appear. Xbox of course I can find them it's the same console otherwise your EA search is dog 💩.
Hey.. You can try going onto your playstation account.. go to Privacy settings then go to Personal info/settings.. on the right, the 5th option down is Allow Cross Play,, make sure that is set to allow..
This should work
Ea is a piece of garage. They can’t make anything work plus they spam you with you need to add them on ea not origin like ever one uses origin. There’s probably no answer for this tho
