Major Crossplay Overhaul: EA Responds to Community Feedback

One of the biggest talking points from the latest leaks is the rumored overhaul of the crossplay system. For years, players have voiced concerns about the imbalances between console and PC players. The introduction of crossplay in previous FIFA titles led to mixed reactions, with many console users feeling at a disadvantage when competing against PC players who had superior hardware, more customizable controls, and a greater selection of mods.

In response to this feedback, it appears that EA Sports FC 26 will make significant changes to how crossplay works. According to the leaks, crossplay will still be supported but will now be limited to players within the same hardware generation. This means that:

PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S players will play exclusively with each other, and will no longer be able to compete against PC players.

PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players will be matched with others on their respective consoles, with no crossplay with next-gen players.

PC players will be isolated in their own pool, no longer able to match with console users.

This shift is seen as a way to level the playing field and address concerns that PC players had an unfair advantage. With PC users often benefiting from higher frame rates, better controls, and superior performance, many console players have felt at a competitive disadvantage. By limiting crossplay to players on the same hardware, EA is attempting to balance the competitive experience for everyone.

While this change will undoubtedly improve fairness, it could also lead to longer matchmaking times, especially in regions with smaller player bases. EA will need to find a way to maintain fast and efficient matchmaking while ensuring that the player base isn’t fractured too much by cheap EA FC 26 Coins these crossplay restrictions.
