@Trokey66 No it isn't. OP is asking for "being able to play with his friends as a PS5 user" and not if he is able to play with the PS5 version. With a PS5 version you are unable to play with PS4 players but with the PS4 version installed on the PS5 you are able to play with PS4 players.
It's also called "cross-gen bundle" and means that it contains the current version as also the last gen version of Battlefield 2042.
Cross-Gen and Crossplay are two different things.
Cross-Gen means cross-generations, which let you give both version the "last gen version (PS4) and current gen version (PS5).
Crossplay means otherwise to be able to play with other systems like PS4&Xbox One or PS5&Xbox One &PC.
