How to Add Friends in FIFA 22 (PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch)

Playing sports games with friends is always more fun than playing against the AI. Although it’s a lot of fun to play it with your friends sitting next to you on a comfy couch, many players choose to or are forced to play online instead, whether through friendly matches or seasons. Here’s how to add friends in FIFA 22 on all platforms.

Before revealing how you can add friends, it’s worth mentioning that this game supports cross-play only for the current generation of consoles. In essence, this means that PlayStation 5 players are able to play with someone who owns Xbox Series X|S, or vice versa.

Unfortunately, PC, as well as past-gen consoles such as PS4 and Xbox One, don’t support cross-play, so you’ll only be able to play with your friend who plays FIFA 22 on the same platform as you.
