Can’t find friends on EA for cross play on BF 2042

This is such trash… I’ve seen forum after forum of the same exact issue with no resolve. At first, I tried adding my friend via his EA ID via my Xbox and that didn’t work. He then tried adding me vi...

@holycrapimbaked Quite an odd one then. I had something similar with one friend who's on PlayStation but I just assumed he'd given me his PSN name instead, as other it was working for other friends, but that's clearly not the case for you. I'll poke around and see if I can find anything else to try.

@ElliotLH Awesome, thank you! We've tried everything from checking emails, to PSN / XBL names, and to our Origin/EA names and nothing has worked despite being friends on Origin. Super frustrating. Just want to play with my friend lol.

@holycrapimbaked No promises but hopefully it can be worked out. It's much more fun playing with friends after all.

Just to be sure your adding the EA name in game and not in Origin. @holycrapimbaked

Origin platform only sees PC players, when adding EA Frindes in-game adds to different frinds list.

Are any of the account underage/teen on EA or platform?

@marko_is_trash17 Yes, if you're both playing the PS5 and Xbox Series S/X version of the game, you should be able to play together.

@ElliotLH I just realised my friend is probably on a Xbox one that may be the reason I’ll ask him tomorrow to find out what Xbox he has

@marko_is_trash17 Yeah they could be on a One S, but hopefully they've got one of the newer consoles.

If you bought your PS5 game digitally then I think you might be able to install the last gen version, and play with him that way. Could be worth checking out the store to see if you can download that for free.

A year later and this still doesn't work.
