- @kealoil12345 PS5 can play with PS4 if they run the PS4 version of the game.
- @HillbillyJohn I dont think that is true. If its on the PS5 your locked to the PS5 version. I could be wrong..
- @smudgegard This is a HUGE SHAME for EA. Just spoke with them on twitter and they said you can play against pc and Xbox last version. But not Xbox old version and PS4. This is ridiculous. I'm cut out from most of my friends as they are still ps4. I purchased the game to play with them mainly, and I'm not able to do so.
I want a refund for this beta-like game. 90£ for a beta-like fully bugged uncompleted crap game and you can't even play with your friends. SHAME. Now they came back on the chat on twitter saying "But if you do have the game on PS5, you should be able to connect to the PS4 version in order to play with your friends. You can see more info here: https://help.ea.com/en/help/battlefield/battlefield-2042/fight-for-your-future-in-battlefield-2042/ "
this is a joke.. i will keep you posted.- @smudgegard The PS4 version is backwards compatible on the PS5.

Initially, you had to buy the one of premium editions (Gold, etc.) to get the cross-gen bundle which includes both versions. ....PS4 and PS5. However, EA changed their minds after a lot of backlash and included the cross-gen bundle in the Standard Edition too. It's in the product descriptions on the PS Store.
You can't play with friends on PS4 while in the PS5 version. You have to be in the PS4 version to do so which comes with the PS5 copy of the game.
The problem is you have to use 2x the harddrive space just to play with last gen console users. It's a real kick in crotch for PS5 and series s users with their limited SSDs.
I have been playing on the Nintendo Switch beta and the Playstation crossplay is working great.
