There won't be native PS5 vs PS4 cross-play (at least at launch, you never know what might happen in the future).

That said, you should be able to play PS4 users on your PS5 but you will need to be playing the PS4 version of the game on your system (one of the editions has a 'cross-gen bundle' with both versions)

On PS5 you can press the options button on the game tile to select which version you want to play.

@TTZ_Dipsy Thanks for that info.

Seems the only way to play cross-gen on the PS5 currently is to have the PS4 version of the game on your PS5. Might be useful to get the cross-gen bundle incase your friends upgrade in the future to the PS5.

I'm not sure if EA/Dice would add cross-gen with their cross-play at a later date due to the hardware capabilities and limitations of the previous gen (it's had a lot of progress in 8 years in the computing world) but it might down the track.
