Cross-platform support in sports video games is more important than ever, and if you plan on picking up Madden NFL 25, you’ll want to know if you can crossplay with your friends on other platforms. Here’s what you need to know.
Does EA Sports Madden 25 Have Crossplay?
Like other recent entries in the franchise, Madden 25 does allows for cross-platform play between PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S users, and it is enabled by default. As specified by EA, crossplay is supported on Madden 25 for most of its game modes, including Head-to-Head, Franchise, Madden Ultimate Team, Superstar KO, and Superstar Showdown.
Moreover, there is cross-platform progression in Superstar mode, so your avatar and gear purchases carry over between the three aforementioned platforms. Though some aspects of crossplay are considered to be in beta, the feature will be live as soon as the game launches.
Despite being a core part of the multiplayer experience, not every aspect of Madden 25 supports crossplay and/or cross-platform progression. For example, it’s absent from the Ultimate Team auction house, which is consistent with previous Madden titles. This means you are not able to purchase items from players on different platforms. None of your progress, items, or other content carry over between consoles. That said, Madden 25 features considerably more crossplay support than EA College Football 25, which includes limited cross-platform capabilities that were delayed at launch.
Can You Disable Crossplay in Madden 25?
The matter in which you can disable crossplay differs by platform. Xbox Series X|S users have to navigate their console settings, while PS5 and PC players can go to the in-game settings menu. Inviting friends on other platforms can be done by using the EA friends list. For Franchise mode, you need it set on an online cloud with crossplay explicitly enabled so that all players from any platform can join.
Madden 25 is set to be released on August 16, 2024.
