Hi guys,

So here's the deal. Got a PS5 and wanted play FIFA 22 for it. Unfortunately, one of my friend with who I'm mostly gaming online doesn't have PS5, he's still using PS4. Buying a PS5 for him is not an option XD. Will it work? Can I use the PS5 version to game online with someone using a PS4 version?

It can't work because the games are different. Next gen Fifa has a different physics engine iirc.

 

[anthony2690]

No, completely different games
Same with FIFA 21.

Nope and that's why Pro Clubs are fucked

 

[TheGodfather07]

Nope. You can only play against others on PS5. You would need a PS4 copy to play against your friend.

Guys, thanks for all replies.
It seems only the Ultimate Edition get a free PS5 upgrade when buying a PS4 version. Crossgen isn't available.
It seems I will have to buy the PS4 version but that would be a downgrade for a PS5 user like me.

You could buy the Ultimate Edition and install both versions. Then just use the PS4 one when you wish to play against your friend maybe?

I didn't realise that PS4/PS5 couldn't play online together until I read this thread and I just recently bought it as a Christmas present for my son. Not a massive problem as we can play couch co-op on PS5 and he is still free to play online against his mates on PS4 (unless they have a PS5 and then he'll be pestering me to use my PS5, it's a mess).

For all the many pitfalls of eFootball, it is at least it is true cross gen and platform play, just a shame there is not much of a game to play.

To be fair it’s not explained very well anywhere

my advice is to stick with ps4 version if you enjoy multiplayer

I bought mine for x1 only.
Next gen has extra features, which old gen doesn't have. And ea is shit when it comes to that.

Ps5 can't play with ps4, same for xbox.

If you really want to play the online, buy it for the old gen. More users are there.

Way too expensive.

Way too expensive.

It was in the PS Sale the other day, that plus you can buy PS credit for cheaper than the £ value meant it worked out at about £50 for the ultimate edition, not too bad.
