Cross-Play Online Versus NHL 26

Hello!

Dear developers, please consider the possibility of adding cross-platform play in the Online Versus mode between Xbox Series and PS5 in the next game – NHL26.

I understand that a lot of great work has already been done! First, the cross-play in WoC and HUT — and it’s done really well! Now we can play with friends no matter what platform they’re on, and matchmaking time is also reduced!

But it would be great if cross-play was also added to the Online Versus mode — this is also a quite popular mode where you can play as your favourite authentic NHL league team, national team, or any other club.

Thank you for your attention!

Best regards,
par_metra

    You don't want them to put Versus on servers, P2P feels way better even at higher pings.

    Are servers required for crossplay? Is it possible to do crossplay via P2P?  

  • Crossplay can technically use P2P, and a few games have done it, but almost all major games use dedicated servers for reliability and simplicity.
