Eafc 26 crossplay

Hello EA Team,  

I’m concerned about rumors that EA FC 26 might restrict cross-play between PC and consoles. As a PC player, this would:  
- **Isolate the PC community** (longer queues, dead FUT market).  
- **Prevent playing with friends** on PS5/Xbox.  
- **Not solve cheating** (hackers will still target PC-only matches).  

**Suggestions:**  
✅ Keep cross-play OPTIONAL (let console players disable it).  
✅ Invest in kernel-level anti-cheat (like Riot Vanguard).  
✅ Add a "Console-Only Matchmaking" filter instead of removing PC entirely.  

Many of us switched to PC BECAUSE of cross-play. Please don’t split the community!  

Thanks,

    That's a hard one to call. A lot players on consoles want console only cross play which is fair, if you remove cheaters from the equation pc still has far more benefits. It's been a conversation in a lot of games and most console players would rather leave pc players to play with each other, mainly because of cheaters in almost all big games, but partly because some of us understand that frame rate and the such is a major disadvantage for console users. If they don't do console only crossplay I'll still be turning crossplay off.

  • Just have to wait for the next deep dive. I could see ea going either way.
