Switch 2 EA FC 27 Crossplay?

Please can a community manager confirm if the Switch 2 will be able to crossplay with PS5/Xbox Series S/X consoles? *

  • Bonjour BemaR777​ ,

    There will be no crossplay between Switch 2 and consoles.

    As you can see in this EA Help article:

    Can you play EAS FC on Nintendo Switch™ or Nintendo Switch™ 2 with other platforms?

    No, the Nintendo Switch™ doesn’t support cross-play for EAS FC—you can only play with other Switch players. You can’t play on Switch against someone playing on a PC, PlayStation®, or Xbox.

  • Thanks for confirming this EA_Hux​. The only issue with this screenshot is it says Nintendo switch(tm) or Nintendo switch 2 then goes on to say only Nintendo switch(tm) can only play with other switch players. 

    This means that the switch 2 player community would be tiny compared to the switch 1 which was already a very small community. Could it be fed back that the lack of crossplay means the online features of the Switch 2 version will be unplayable without crossplay. 

    Thanks for getting back to me though. I appreciate that

    EA_Claus​ could explain why no crossplay? Is it being ignored that the number of players make it impossible to play certain gamemodes? 

    I played ZERO clubs/drop in/rush games on EA FC 26. It is unacceptable to not atleast trial crossplay in the beta. I would love to know the reason why this feature is shelved each year. Nobody from EA comments on why even though there is a plethora of crossplay games available and working on Switch. Including your own Split fiction. 

    Seriously now, you guys have had years to test, consult and implement this.  Asking for feedback to only ignore it each year is not only frustrating, it is now bordering on deceitful. The average gamer buys a full price game expecting all the bells and whistles and that those bells and whistle work and are playable. With FC on switch only some work. 

    Its not even gameplay here this is literally going onto an online gamemode and getting Zero games. Robbed from a full experience due to cross play alone. When it has been mentioned on this forums I see responses to 30fps but crossplay is ignored and not even responded to! 

    Why? Can the need for crossplay be fed back please

    Hey NGC_BemaR​,

    I moved your reply to this other thread, where another player recently asked about the same thing. 

    Thank you for your feedback.

    Im not sure if you read my comment EA_Hux​  I am asking why? I know there is no crossplay for switch 2! This has been my problem. Whats the point of giving feedback if it is not read properly.

    Je suis totalement d’accord pour demander le cross-play entre Nintendo Switch 2 et PS5.

    La Switch 2 dispose maintenant d’une version de FC beaucoup plus proche des versions actuelles, et ce serait vraiment dommage de ne pas pouvoir jouer avec ses amis sur PS5.

    En particulier pour les modes Clubs, Rush et The Grounds, le cross-play pourrait aussi aider à avoir davantage de joueurs disponibles et à réduire les temps d’attente.

    Je comprends qu’il puisse y avoir des contraintes techniques ou de gameplay, mais j’aimerais vraiment qu’EA étudie au moins la possibilité d’un cross-play Switch 2 ↔ PS5.
