Is Madden 25 cross-platform? Crossplay status explained

Crossplay was introduced to EA’s NFL sim franchise with Madden 24, but with the release of Madden 25 on the horizon, players might be wondering if the upcoming title will follow suit.

With the feature debuting in Madden last year, players are hopeful that its inclusion is the new norm going forward. With this in mind, here’s everything you need to know about crossplay in Madden 25.

Will Madden 25 have crossplay?

Yes, Madden 25 will have crossplay across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. This means that players on current-gen platforms and PC will be able to play against each other in online multiplayer matches.

The supported modes include Head-to-Head, Franchise, Madden Ultimate Team, Superstar KO, and Superstar Showdown.

It’s important to note that crossplay will not be supported on last-gen platforms such as PS4 and Xbox One.

Enabling crossplay will allow for shorter wait times while looking for multiplayer matches. The feature will also let you play against your friends on different platforms.

How to turn off crossplay on PlayStation, Xbox & PC

PS5 & PC

1. From the main menu, head into ‘Settings.’
2. Use the bumpers to navigate to the ‘Crossplay’ tab.
3. Turn off the toggle.

Xbox Series X/S

1. Open the Xbox Settings app
2. Scroll down to the ‘Account’ section and select ‘Privacy & Online Safety.’
3. In the next screen, select ‘Xbox Privacy’ and then ‘View details & customize.’
4. Now, click on ‘Communication & Multiplayer.’
5. Select ‘Block’ under the tab that states ‘You can join cross-network play.’

Madden 25 cross-progression explained

Madden 25 supports Avatar progression and gear purchases within the Superstar mode across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. This means that your custom player and any gear purchases will be carried over if you log into other platforms.

However, the MUT Auction House will not be transferred between consoles. So players can’t use Coins to get items from users on other platforms.

That sums up everything to know about crossplay. With the game’s release date drawing closer, make sure to check out the highest-rated players and how to play early.
