    @simomorte You cannot crossplay the PS5 version with the PS4 version, make sure you are running the PS4 version of the game and try and play with him, see if that works for you.

    EA gives a reasonable answer here: https://help.ea.com/en/help/battlefield/battlefield-2042/battlefield-2042-cross-play/ 

    PS4 players can only match with other PS4 or XboxOne Players due to Hardware performance reasons. However, your friend can download the down-compatible version of the game on his PS5 and then you will be able to play together on 64er Games.

    I truly hope that EA will come up with an interim solution like this for crossplay between older gen consoles and PC, and, at least a way to add and see each other as friends via EA ID.

    @TimMcGrawRulZ So glad I'm not the only one experiencing this, I thought I was going crazy. Hopefully they fix this soon
