Cross-play arrives in F1® 22

From today, you’ll be able to race the fastest motorsport around with players across all platforms as cross-play arrives in F1® 22.

Whether you’re racing on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, or PC (Steam & Origin/EA Play) you’ll be able to play in Social Race and Two-Player Career modes.

What modes can use cross-play?

Cross-play is available in Social Play and Two Player Career.

How do you use cross-play? 

You’ll need to enable cross-play in the Game Options > Settings menu. On Xbox, you may need to enable cross-play in your account settings. Details on how to do this can be found here. After enabling cross-play, when you select Social Race you will have the ability to invite and join other sessions across all platforms. Disabling cross-play will only match you with those in your console family (e.g. PlayStation®5 and PlayStation®4).

The Friends Hub is where you can review any pending friend requests or session invites. You can also search for and add friends as well as those you’ve recently raced against. Friends Hub can be accessed from the Main Menu by clicking the left thumbstick (or F10 on a keyboard) and then selecting the Friends Option.

As a session host, in order to invite someone to your lobby from another platform, head to the Invite Friends option in the lobby and invite them from there. They’ll receive an invite through the Friends Hub.
