For the first time in the series, the upcoming Madden NFL 24 will include cross-play support. This allows players on different compatible platforms to compete against one another online. Crossplay promises to expand the player pool and enable cross-platform progression.
Madden NFL 24 Crossplay
Crossplay Enabled by Default
Madden 24 crossplay will be enabled automatically on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. By default, users on these platforms will be matchmade together in supported online modes for a shared crossplay experience.
Players can opt-out by adjusting platform-specific settings if they wish to only play against the same device. But otherwise, PC/PS5/Xbox users will play together out of the box.
Online Modes that Support Madden NFL 24 Crossplay
Major multiplayer modes that will incorporate crossplay include:
- Head-to-Head
- Madden Ultimate Team
- Superstar KO
- Superstar Showdown
Crossplay support means you can invite friends and rivals from any compatible platform to play cooperatively or competently. This expands your options for both finding teammates and opponents.
Faster Matchmaking Thanks to Expanded Player Pools
Previously, matchmaking was limited to other users on the same device. But by combining the PC, PlayStation, and Xbox player bases, matchmaking pull from a wider pool of players.
This results in reduced wait times for finding matches, since the game has more options to choose opponents closely matched to your skill and connectivity.
Cross-Progression for Superstar Mode
Crossplay also enables cross-platform progression sharing for Superstar avatars and gear unlocks. You can start a Superstar career on Xbox and pick up where you left off later on PlayStation or PC.
Global Leaderboards Track All Crossplay Users
For those participating in crossplay, Madden 24 will provide unified global leaderboards. This allows seeing how you stack up against the entire crossplay user base, rather than just your platform.
Auction House Stays Platform-Specific
One crossplay limitation is that Auction Houses and in-game economies remain separated by platform. Items listed by PS5 users won’t show up for Xbox bidders.
But overall, crossplay is a major online innovation for Madden 24. The ability to play against a wider pool of players on other consoles and PC should greatly enhance popular online modes when the game launches later this year.
The Bottom Line on Madden NFL 24 Crossplay
Here are some key takeaways on Madden NFL 24’s crossplay functionality:
- Enabled automatically on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S
- Supports online multiplayer and Superstar career progression across platforms
- Significantly reduces matchmaking wait times by combining player pools
- Provides unified global leaderboards for participating crossplay users
- Auction Houses remain segmented by platform
