For many gamers, cross-platform seems like a dream from long ago, but next-generation console developers are making it happen.

While cross-general console gameplay is not perfect it is certainly a step in the right direction.
Playing with your friends is great, but playing with friends on a completely different console is a hat trick. EA Sports steps up to the puck and charges ahead of the challenges with its newest iteration in cross-platform design. But truth be told EA has pulled this off once before with its FIFA series in FIFA 22. EA’s experience in cross-platform design is clear and vetted at this point. Even with the limitation in cross-console play fans were promised cross-platform before NHL® 23s’ launch on October 14th and EA delivered.
