    @b0ssieb0ss_4wv1 You can, but you'd need to be playing the XB1 version of your X.

        @b0ssieb0ss_4wv1 You'd just need to move over to the Series X version. I'm planning to have both versions installed on mine so I can hop back and forth, depending on which of my friends are playing.

    No. Those who own the xbox series S / X or PS5 will be able to play with each other, even with those on the PC. 

    Those who own a PS4 or Xbox One will be able to play with each other. So you will not be able to play with someone from the old generation you being on the new generation of console.

      @PremiumDamian That's not quite right technically. People on PS5 and Xbox Series S/X can install the last gen version of the game and play with friends on PS4/XB1 that way, with the lesser player numbers and smaller maps.

        I pre-ordered Gold edition just because cross-gen bundle. Today I ask refund and got it in few minutes, great job from Sony (they send me mail with link if I want to cancel preorder because game is delayed). Now I will buy standard PS5 Edition, because I don't nees cosmetic staff for 20£ more and don't care about 7 day early access).
