How to play with Xbox one, Xbox series and PS4/5 friends and no PC players

[fixatelive]

On Xbox series S, with crossplay on/enabled, I found a way to play with my Xbox One friends. Download Battlefield 2042 Xbox One edition on your Xbox Series. You will be limited to 64 player mode, but at least we can play with our Xbox one, and PS4/5 friends and no PC players.

NOTE: Can someone with PS5 confirm that the PS4 edition of 2042 can be downloaded and installed on PS5? I can't see why not, but just to be sure.

Can confirm PS5 users can download the PS4 version of the game on their console

@fixatelive Do you think that would work with Series X?

Awesome, thanks for confirming.

@Demo8Jonesy Yes. I have both versions of BF2042 installed on mine.

Same here indeed.

As long as you own both versions of the game (either via a separate purchase or the Gold/Ultimate edition that comes with both versions), you should be able to install/play the Gen4 (Xbox One/PS4) version of the game alongside the Gen5 version of the game on a Gen5 console (Gen5 is PS5 and Xbox Series S|X).

Good and how to play the Xbox SX version with Xbox only? Because with the cross play off 👎🏼

Hey @O_PanZer,

Unfortunately it is not possible to cross-play an Xbox Series S|X with the Xbox One.

Do you have to pay again though?
