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).

      Why would you go back to last gen on a next gen console and a next gen game ? The performance and resolution are way way better on next gen. I will  never do that just to play with my friends.They should buy a next gen console :D

        @PremiumDamian It's not always that simple due to supply shortages and costs unfortunately. At least this way people have the option to still play with friends who haven't been able to upgrade yet.
