Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about this UFC 4 crossplay stuff. Folks been askin’ me, “Can you play with your buddies on different machines?” And I gotta say, it ain’t that simple.
UFC 4: Same Console, Same Fight
See, if you got a PlayStation 4, you gotta stick with other PlayStation 4 fellas. And if you got an Xbox, well, you’re playin’ with the Xbox crowd. It’s like this, you can’t mix apples and oranges, can ya? This here UFC 4, it’s the same deal. No crossplay between PS4 and Xbox. You gotta play in your own sandbox, as they say.
- PlayStation 4 folks play with PlayStation 4 folks.
- Xbox folks play with Xbox folks.
Don’t go thinkin’ you can magically jump from one to the other. Ain’t gonna happen. They keep ’em separate, like chickens in different coops.
UFC 5: Still No Crossplay
Now, some of you young’uns might be thinkin’, “What about UFC 5?” Well, hold your horses. It’s the same story there. No crossplay in UFC 5 either. No cross-progression neither. Means if you start on one machine, you can’t just up and move to another one. You gotta start all over again, like plantin’ a whole new garden.
This here “cross-progression,” that’s just a fancy word for movin’ your stuff around. But like I said, it ain’t happenin’ with UFC 5. You’re stuck where you started.
That Xbox Play Anywhere Thingy
Now, there’s this thing called Xbox Play Anywhere. Microsoft, they make it. It lets you buy a game once and play it on your Xbox and your computer. Some of them games, they even let you play with folks on different machines. But see, UFC 4 and 5, they ain’t part of that club. They ain’t got that special pass.
So, don’t get your hopes up thinkin’ you can use that Xbox Play Anywhere trick for UFC. It ain’t gonna work. It’s like tryin’ to fit a square peg in a round hole, just won’t go.
EA FC 24: Different Rules
Now, there’s this other game, EA FC 24. It’s about soccer, not fightin’, but it’s made by the same folks who made UFC. And they do things a bit different there. They let some folks play together, but not everyone.
If you got a PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X or S, or a computer, you can play with each other. And if you got a PlayStation 4 or an Xbox One, you can play with each other too. But you can’t mix and match the new machines with the old ones.
It’s kinda like this, the grown-ups play together, and the kids play together, but they don’t all play together at the same time. It’s a little complicated if you ask me.
UFC 4 in 2024: Still the Same Story
So, here we are in 2024, and folks are still askin’ about UFC 4 crossplay. And I gotta tell ya, nothin’s changed. Still no crossplay between different consoles. You gotta stick to your own kind, like birds of a feather.
I know it ain’t what some of you wanna hear. You wanna fight your buddies no matter what machine they got. But that’s just not how it is with this here UFC 4. Maybe someday they’ll change it, but for now, you gotta play by their rules.
The Bottom Line
So, let’s make it clear. UFC 4 does not have crossplay between PlayStation and Xbox. And neither does UFC 5. You gotta play with folks on the same machine. No mixin’ and matchin’. It’s as simple as that. Like I always say, a chicken is a chicken, and a duck is a duck, and you can’t make ‘em the same no matter how hard you try.
And that’s all there is to it. Don’t let nobody tell you different. Now, go on and have fun fightin’, just make sure you’re fightin’ the right folks on the right machine.
