Forum Discussion
@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.

Because it is blatantly wrong!
And a callout to the relevant EA staff supervisor(s) would be in order, as such misinformation to customers is a disaster!!!
I have the GOLD Edition of the game for PS5, and with that I also play with my PS4 friends in the game!
With the GOLD or ULTIMATE Editions, you paid for and got the cross-gen option, which gives you access to download and play the two different games. Both the old-gen version and the new-gen version. I have personally both installed at the same time and they both work fine.
So there is your answer to the OP question number 2.
For the first question, yes that is a functionality that we have pleaded for to become implemented, as we on PS5 consoles would enjoy also to play together with our friends on the new-gen Xbox consoles!
- @CyberDyme How are you finding the differences between PS4 and PS5?
From a technical, map design and game play perspective is one ahead of the other?
I'm playing 2042 on trial while I make my mind up whether to buy or wait for a sale so no PS4 access unfortunately to compare the two.
- @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.
- @xXHappy_PuppyXx Exactly. This really is not an acceptable solution.
Past Battlefield titles have had different versions of the maps in the same game (64 player, 32 player, etc). Why doesn't BF2042? Why does the PS5 version not also have the 64 player maps included? Then PS5 players could queue up for the 64 player versions with their PS4 friends and not have to swap executables.
Ah very nice. Is it the same with the Xbox Consoles do you know? Can I play on my series X with my Xbox one buddies? If I decide to get the game again? (a whole other conversation lol)
- @smudgegard I believe it's the same.
