Product Information

Just like game invites, friend requests will appear in the social menu with a notification that allows you to directly accept or decline. If you miss it, the red indicator will show up on the social icon in the corner of your screen. When opened, the request can be found in the Friend requests tab. Player Search Once you find the person you’re searching for, you can send them a friend request. When accepted, both players will see their new friend appear in the Friends tab in the social menu. Recently Met The social menu will now handle all invites throughout the game for all modes that support multiplayer. Depending on the mode, the invite experience will differ a bit. When playing VOLTA FOOTBALL and Pro Club Drop-ins, the full social menu will appear and allow players to navigate all the social features from the same screen. When playing other game modes that support invites, players will interact with a simplified version of the social menu where they’ll only be able to select and send invites to existing friends. Here’s what it looks like: Friend Requests

Within Division Rivals, players who have opted out of cross-play will continue to see the Elite Top 200 leaderboard displaying the same platform view as it appeared in FIFA 22. Hello everyone, we are Delaney Leatherdale and Liam Caswell, two producers who are very excited to share with you details on the inclusion of cross-play coming to EA SPORTS™ FIFA 23. Cross-play will allow players to compete and play with friends and opponents on different platforms of the same generation in a variety of online game modes in FIFA 23. Table Of Contents They think it’s all over … The football sim series that has graced the gaming charts every year since its launch in 1993 is about to face the final whistle, thanks to a licensing tussle with Fifa. Next year, Electronic Arts will be revealing its annoyingly named replacement, EA Sports FC, but for now, we get to run out on to this heavily branded pitch one last time.

About The Game

Additionally, we are planning a new social widget called EA Social. EA Social will help bridge the gap between platforms for cross-play, and also allows players further ease of access when finding, adding, and playing with their local-platform and cross-platform friends. In FIFA 23, cross-play will be available at launch in FUT Division Rivals (except Co-Op), FUT Champions, FUT Ultimate Online Draft, FUT Online Friendlies (except Co-Op), FUT Play a Friend, Online Friendlies, Online Seasons (except Co-Op Seasons) and the Virtual Bundesliga competitive game mode that is available to players based in Germany. Cross-play is initially enabled for all players when launching FIFA 23 for the first time, provided the platform level settings allow for it, and it can be opted out of at any time (more on that later in this article).

Searches will show you all matches across the various platforms and their respective platform indicator icons.Note: cross-play availability can potentially be impacted on a platform by platform basis by things like planned or unplanned maintenances, server releases, Title Updates, unexpected downtime, or matchmaking updates. The same rules listed for the Division Rivals leaderboard apply to the Club Value Leaderboard as well. Platform splits are the same, and players are able to toggle between the global and local views if they have cross-play enabled. Squad Battles Leaderboard

Here, players will find all the friends they’ve added through their local platform’s friend list and/or EA Network. Players can then send invites to friends within all the FIFA 23 game modes we mentioned above while the two friend lists are unique, both are displayed within the social menu and they can each facilitate invites within all applicable game modes in FIFA 23. When an invite is sent from the same platform, you’ll receive the standard invite notification on your screen that can be accepted or declined. At the same time, the social menu will display the pending invitation in the Game Invites tab. A red indicator badge will appear on the social menu icon, which is found in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. The in-game social menu has been built to allow players to search for and add friends, including across platforms. To access it, follow the social icon in the bottom right corner of the FIFA 23 main menu (it’s also on additional screens throughout the game). Let’s dive deeper into the social menu’s features. Please note, players who have a 1st party account categorized as underaged will be unable to do the following within EA Social: Following the cross-play test in FIFA 22 to Online Friendlies and Online Seasons, we’re expanding on the availability of cross-play to more game modes for FIFA 23, as well as increasing the number of included platforms. In FIFA 23, cross-play will be available for players on the same platform generation. PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Stadia, and PC versions of FIFA 23 will be cross-play compatible with one another, and PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of FIFA 23 will be cross-play compatible with one another.If you get a cross-platform invite, you’ll only see it in the social menu. Once you get it, the menu displays an on-screen notification that allows you to accept or decline. Notifications can appear throughout the game, but can only be interacted with in gameplay by pressing a specific button. That way, there’s no interference with your match. You’ll also have the ability to manage if and when you’d like to see certain notifications through the menu’s following options: From the social menu, you’ll be able to receive game invites from players on the same platform as well as cross-platform. You’ll also be able to see additional friend information in the social menu and local-platform friends list just by highlighting a player. These details include: Underaged accounts that have obtained parental approval to play online, will still be able to access all other cross-platform features. Further, underaged accounts can still add 1st party friends via existing 1st party flows and send/receive game invites within their own platform. With the implementation of cross-play, the Elite Top 200 will also have a global leaderboard. You can only view this leaderboard while you have cross-play enabled, but you can toggle between the global leaderboard and the same platform (local) leaderboard.

With this expansion of cross-play, FIFA 23 will see multiple groupings of the FUT Transfer Market, and we’ll share more information about that further down in this article.
