There are two reports relaying more or less the same information. The first comes from Donk, who relays word that cross-play is finally coming via FIFA 23, but before this happens it will be “tested” with FIFA 22. When this will happen, Donk doesn’t say but claims it will be soon.
Relaying the same information is Fut Sherrif, who notes that “cross-play will be tested in FIFA 22″ but it “probably won’t be on Ultimate Team.”
Given the market of Ultimate Team, it’s hard to imagine how cross-play will specifically work with this mode, but EA has presumably figured it out as it’s not going to add cross-play to other online modes but not its marquee, money-making mode. There would be no point in doing this.
For now, take everything here with a grain of salt. While the sources in question are reliable, and while others have echoed these claims, nothing here is official and it’s all also subject to change.
At the moment of publishing, EA has not commented on any of this or addressed it in any capacity. We don’t anticipate this changing for a variety of reasons, but if it does, we will be sure to update the story accordingly.
