Does NHL 23 have cross-platform and cross-play? Here's everything you need to know about getting on the rink with people using different consoles.
Is NHL 23 cross platform?
YES! And some no. NHL 23 is the first game in the series to work on more than one platform. There is a catch, though.
Cross-platform matchmaking in NHL 23 lets people who play on consoles from the same generation on Playstation and Xbox play against each other. Players on PS4 and Xbox One can play together. Players on Xbox Series X|S can also play with players on PS5.
Cross-platform matchmaking lets players play against each other in online modes, but they can't invite friends or other players from different consoles to play with them in a team. EA did give the impression that they want to add more crossplay features to future NHL games.
NHL 23 crossplay and cross-platform support explained
NHL 23 can be played on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. All of these platforms can play with each other. These features were shown in the official trailer, and you can see them right now in the game.
This is great news for the player base because it means that as the season goes on, matchmaking times won't be so long and we'll be able to play with friends who own different consoles.
