Battlefield 2042 is looking to be a major step forward for the series, with massive player counts, huge maps, and brand-new systems like Specialists and Weapon Plus. It will also bring cross-play to the series, allowing Xbox, PlayStation, and PC players to battle it out with another in Battlefield 2042’s near-future setting. However, there are a few caveats when it comes to playing together on different platforms. Here’s what you need to know.
How Battlefield 2042 Cross-Play Works
You’ll be able to play with friends on other platforms in Battlefield 2042, but there is a catch–you’ll need to be on the same console generation. That means while Xbox One and PlayStation 4 players will be able to play together, they will not be able to do cross-play with those playing on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, or PC. Xbox Series X|S and PS5 users will be able to play together, as well as with PC players.
