Hey @Just_Painx,

Unfortunately cross-play between PC and Gen4 consoles is not possible. Only PC and Gen5 (current gen) consoles.

This is the cross-play list as follows:

Players on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One can play with and against each other, but not with players on PC, PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S - even with cross-play turned on.

In Battlefield 2042, we want to make sure the experience is fair and fun for everyone. We don’t want players on Xbox One and Playstation 4 to have a bad time because they’re using older hardware, so we’ve set things up to prevent that.

One of the things we’ve done to keep performance stable is to reduce the scale of the battles in All-Out Warfare a little. So if you’re playing on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, you’ll be in 64-player battles rather than 128-player ones (128-players is for PC and Gen5 consoles only). This reduced battle size also means you can only matchmake with and against players on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
