Hello, @zjack3898.
We currently don't have any details on cross-play coming to NHL. If it happens, you'll see an announcement on our official channels. Thanks!
Community ManagerI get how it looks lazy, but not adding cross-platform has absolutely nothing to do with that. It's not the easy addition people think it is. Should it happen, you'll see an announcement on our official channels.
@EA_AljoYou may want to pass this along to your system architects with Origin but EA Sports is actually in a prime position to enable cross-platform play.
It is not trivial, but if EA sports as a whole moved to a central account system I believe it would make the sports platform that much more enticing. I have other opinions for the sales model but EA sports going free to play for HUT/MUT etc. with optional buy in (say at 19.99) for franchise modes has always seemed liked the future and correct way forward.
For more detailed information on crossplay I suggest you pass along this link:

EA sports are trending down in overall sales. I'm confident business is already looking at this and planning to move NHL and UFC to PC as well through gamepass and origin.
If business hasnt considered this I'm actually worried EA is gonna lose license agreements. Free to play and crossplay is the next step for the EA sports.
