The quick answer

EA groups PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S together for supported cross-play modes, and PlayStation 4 with Xbox One separately. Its help page says Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 do not support cross-play.[1]

Understand the distinction

Platform compatibility is only the first check: the chosen mode must also support the feature. Our party checklist avoids assuming that a shared game title or linked EA Account makes every pair compatible.[1]

Suggested checklist

  1. Compare the exact editions and platform generations used by both players.[1]
  2. Read the current cross-play support for the specific mode you want.[1]
  3. Confirm social and cross-play settings before sending an invite.[1]

Limits and next steps

Cross-play does not establish universal cross-progression or shared Ultimate Team progress between all platforms.[1]
