Crossplay problem inviting from Xbox Series to PS5

Product: EA SPORTS FC 24
Platform:PlayStation 5
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 5
What is your Gamertag/PSN ID/Switch ID? The_Thorz74
Which mode has this happened in? Ultimate Team™
Which part of the mode? Friendlies
How did you play? Play A Friend
Which version? Classic Match
Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug? 2024-02-23 but the bug has been present since october 2023
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) 21:00 CET
What is your time zone? ECT - GMT + 1:00
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? This bug happens in both FUT online friendlies and normal friendlies outside of FUT 1. The bug happens when trying to invite to a friendly match a PS5 player from an Xbox Series console. 2. Be sure that crossplay is enabled under the EAFC settings and on the respective dashboard settings on both consoles. Be sure that both accounts are shown under the friends list in the EA Connect menu (RT/R2). Be sure that both accounts are shown as online there on each other console. 3. On an Xbox Series console go to friendlies and try to invite the PS5 player
What happens when the bug occurs? It is impossible to play a friendly match if the invitation is sent from an Xbox Series to a PS5. 4. The result is either: a) Most of the time on the screen "Invite a friend" you get a screen with a message saying "No available friends" even if the PS5 account is shown as online on the EA Connect menu. b) At times when the PS5 account is shown under "Invite a friend" on the Xbox console and you send the invite, when the PS5 player tries to accept the invite he/she only gets a message saying "xxxx sent you a lobby invite / Cross-play is not enabled for this lobby".
What should be happening instead? The online PS5 account should be shown on the "Invite a friend" screen on the Xbox Series. AND at the times when the Xbox manages to send the invite, it should be possible to accept it on the PS5 instead of getting that error message.

Extra info:

  • Both the Xbox Series and the PS5 have open NAT (tested from the dashboard settings).
  • Initiating the invitation from the PS5 works as it should, the bug only happens when the Xbox is the one initiating the invitation.
  • The game is updated on both consoles to the latest version
  • Other multiplayer games work completely fine.
  • We have tested with several Xbox consoles and different accounts. It hasn't been possible to invite from the Xbox side.
  • The problem is exactly the same in FIFA 23. Not possible to invite from the Xbox side but if you initiate the invitation from the PS5 everything works fine.

Here are pictures demonstrating the bug:

Pics from the Xbox Series side:

  • On EA Connect the PS5 account shows correctly as online:

  • When you are going to invite to a friendly from the Xbox Series most of the time the "Invite a friend" screen is empty on both FUT and outside of FUT:

Pics from the PS5 side:

  • Invite sent another Xbox console, from there the invites can be sent but you only get this error when you try to accept them on the PS5:

  • The network settings and crossplay settings are correct on both the game and the PS5 dashboard:
