EA Sports College Football 25 Crossplay Explained

With the return of this franchise finally confirmed, players are already keeping an eye on how EA Sports College Football 25 crossplay will work. For years, crossplay was a rarity in sports gaming.

Fortunately, there will be ways to connect online even if you're using an Xbox Series X|S and your buddy is on a PS5. We've got more details below on exactly which game modes will benefit from EA Sports College Football 25 crossplay being enabled.

Will EA Sports College Football 25 have crossplay?

Yes, EA Sports College Football 25 is going to have crossplay functionality for both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S players. You won't have to turn it on manually, as crossplay is automatically enabled on both platforms.

To actually connect and utilize crossplay, you'll need a stable internet connection, an updated copy of EA Sports College Football 25, and to be logged into an EA Account on the platform you're using. If you don't want crossplay for any reason, it can be disabled from in-game settings on PS5 or via the console system settings on Xbox Series X|S.

What game modes have crossplay in EA Sports College Football 25?

If you're looking forward to playing online against friends, there are only three game modes that will have access. Road to the College Football Playoff, College Football Ultimate Team (with the exception of the Auction House), and Play a Friend can use crossplay to connect with other platforms. Sadly, this does also mean that Online Dynasty will not have crossplay and is restricted to the individual platforms.

Players will be able to manually connect to their friends using the EA Connect menu in College Football 25. When enabled, crossplay will automatically mix matchmaking pools from both consoles so that you have slower load times and can find an opponent more quickly. Leaderboards will be global and cross-platform for those with crossplay enabled, but players that disable it will only be shown a single platform leaderboard.
