Cross-Play Online Versus NHL 26

Question

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.

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

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