If I buy F1 2022 on Steam, can I play with my friend who bought it on Origin ?

    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)

@Ultrasonic_77 Well they only spoke of cross gen multiplayer between the different generation of consoles. This lead me to believe that pc players would only be able to play together regardless of platform when crossplay releases.

I guess not everybody read into it that way!

@TheOGReeceTTV Not everybody, indeed.

Usually crossplay refers to players with different hardware (i.e. consoles and PC) being able to share features together. PC is a platform in that sense, same hardware and OS family. Steam and Origin and Epic are storefronts, not platforms in that sense.

    @mariohomoh And that is the main problem here. Codemasters/EA trying to shoehorn cross-play definition into cross-storefront (new word?) play. No idea why that is the case but it most certainly shouldn't be one as it's just anti-costumer.
    So we had lack of communication and lack of common sense displayed here, without any clear explanation or reasoning for current situation.
