Fact Check: Is Pro Clubs cross-platform in FIFA 23 (March 2023)?

sportskeeda.com:

While crossplay has been integral to different game modes in FIFA 23, the Pro Clubs have generated significant complaints. The mode is different from the others and is the best way for players to live the life of a professional footballer virtually.

This game mode is fun and exciting. The possibility of crossplay could make it more appealing, but that hasn’t been the case so far. While there are general expectations for the feature to be introduced in the future, EA Sports hasn’t budged from its initial decision.

Crossplay has generally been a game-changer in FIFA 23, allowing players to expand their possibilities. For starters, users are no longer held back by the platform. Moreover, developers have also allowed one to opt out of crossplay. This ensures that everyone can enjoy the new mechanism. However, the Pro Clubs continue to be left out even as the game is about to complete its half-yearly cycle.

The presence of crossplay in FIFA 23 was announced at the time of the game’s release. Initially, the feature was only tested to a limited capacity, and this would be the first time a full release was getting it.

However, the community didn’t take the news very well when it was announced that the mode wouldn’t have crossplay. EA Sports explained that the technology could be too volatile, especially since they were yet to understand its full potential.

A deep dive video was also released to explain why Pro Clubs have been left out of the mix.

Richard Walz, Game Design Director for Pro Clubs and VOLTA Football, further explained their decision.

EA Sports has also claimed that there could be updates in the future that might change the situation.

However, it hasn’t been the case, and Pro Clubs are yet to get crossplay capabilities.
