Battlefield 2042 Beta Won’t Feature Crossplay Parties, Will Be Available at Launch

For those looking forward to playing the Battlefield 2042 beta next week with friends on different platforms, you’ll have to do without partying up! EA has confirmed that the BF2042 beta won’t feature crossplay parties, though that feature will be available at launch.

A PR rep has issued the following statement (via ScreeRant):

While cross-play will technically be enabled for Open Beta, Cross-Play Parties will be disabled, meaning friends on different platforms won’t be able to join in squads and play together. However, at launch:

Gen 5 and PC will be able to play together in the same cross-play universe. Gen 4 can play together in the same cross-play universe

No explanation has been given as to why crossplay parties won’t be available during the beta, though we’re hoping it’ll be available without a hitch come launch.
