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)

Great observation. The lack of crossplay at launch was reasonably well communicated and I do remember a handful of reviews picking it up. This forest fire still happening just goes to show how detached from the industry this interpretation is – that interoperability between glorified storefronts fits in the "crossplay" definition.
"In video games with online gaming functionality, also called cross-compatible play, cross-platform play, crossplay, or cross-play describes the ability of players using different video game hardware to play with each other simultaneously"
After installing the last patch (1.05) on both Steam and Origin I noticed that the version of the game is the same (1.05.899639), but before the update the versions were different. Any chance of playing together?
An EA employee I had on the phone yesterday told me that the next patch will make crossplay possible. Guessing that's not 1.05 then? Just read the patch notes and there's nothing in there about Steam and Origin. Hope it was not another lie :/
Also, I found someone from EA literally saying "It's not cross-play since it's both on PC :-)"

So they literally don't even know what cross-play is themselves? Some EA employees say it is, others say it isn't...
"crossplay" between steam and origin is possible via LAN game. tested with hamachi
We read in several news articles, that Origin/Steam won't be able to play together even after crossplay is released.
Can you let us know if that is true? It's hard enough to plan a season without knowing when crossplay will be released, but now we aren't even sure anymore if it will even work across Steam/Origin?
Hope the information in the news articles was wrong, but I'd like to be sure about it.
Here is a german news article about it:
https://www.tz.de/leben/games/playstation-f1-22-ist-crossplay-zwischen-xbox-und-ps-moeglich-zr-91651178.html
It basically states that crossplay will only work for PS/Xbox and not for the 2 PC "plattforms".
Hope to get some feedback on this.

Well that would be an absolute shocker if true. Can’t imagine there are many people on origin compared to steam…
but its not an official channel so wouldnt read to much into it for now.
when i race online there is now a steam logo which wasnt there previously, suggesting something might be happening.
