    Try removing each other from both your friends lists and re-add each other, then try again.

    @bleedgiantblue That’s correct, yes I can. But only using the Xbox One version of the game, not the X/S version of the game. 

    How did I do this? I downloaded the Xbox One version onto my X console. Now my X console has both versions of Madden 21: “Xbox One” and “Series X/S.”

    I can only play Xbox One users on my X console while using/playing the Xbox One version of the game, not the Series X/S version. 

    This is correct. The Next Gen consoles can download both versions of the games. Both players must be on the same version of the game, so if you're on a PS5/Xbox One Series X/S you need to install the launch version of the game.

I play in several Madden 21 Franchises. All of the franchises were started on my xbox one. I have recently purchased an xbox series x. Can I play my franchise games on my series x against other teams in the league that are still using the xbox one? If so, must I make any changes to any settings? 

Also, I have over 150 "friends" who play Madden 21. When I tried to play a friend in online head to head, only 6 friends were available to invite.  All 6 have the new xbox series x. None of my xbox one friends were listed to invite to an online head to head. Is there anything I can do to my settings in madden on my series x that will give me the ability to play madden vs. xbox one friends?

    @bleedgiantblue To play with friends you do need to be on the same Gen as they are so you would need to use the Gen4 version in order to play with them.

    Do you see an option under My Games and Apps?

      @EA_Illium I see no such option to toggle between different generations under My games & apps. Please give instructions

        @bleedgiantblue I was able to download the Xbox One version, meaning I now have both that and the Series X/S versions on my console. When using the Xbox One version of the game, I can see and play with friends who aren’t on Series X.
