Is Madden NFL 26 cross-platform?
Madden NFL 26 crossplay
Partly Madden NFL 26 supports crossplay between PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Nintendo Switch 2 is separate.
PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC play together in online Head-to-Head, Franchise (new or existing cloud leagues), Ultimate Team, Superstar KO and Superstar Showdown. Madden 26 isn't on PS4 or Xbox One, and the Switch 2 version only plays with other Switch 2 players.
The Ultimate Team Auction House isn't shared, so you only trade with players on your own system. Find cross-platform friends in EA Connect by EA ID, gamertag or PSN ID.
