Hey everyone,
Origin and Steam will not be able to play online together. When crossplay is introduced later in development, then all platforms can play together in supported crossplay modes (Social Play and Two-Player Career modes)

@EA_rephiiis just the messenger, and I do not envy the situation EA put they in having to deliver such a farfetched excuse for this anti-consumer measure from corporate.
Origin and Steam are glorified storefronts, basically. The product being commercialized there is a PC software.
This stance go against the grain of the whole videogame industry: crossplay is widely defined as being able to share features between consoles and PC, not between mere PC storefronts.
I'm in no position to deny there needing some work to enable consumers who got their PC software license from different vendors to play together, but to say that this is a byproduct of not having the true crossplay feature together is a straight up lie to our faces and a huge disservice to the developers.
This is an anti-consumer business decision, just that.
To give an idea. On Origin 1596 players are ranked for Miami time trial, 7600 on steam.
Well at least i might be able to get higher up the leaderboard this year 😂 seriously this is shocking though. I was going to buy on origin as its considerably cheaper than steam. Guess this is why…
Crossplay when?
