The wide platform support also hints at EA’s intention to FC 26 Coins keep the community connected, regardless of which console they’re using. That said, one aspect of the leak suggests not all players will be sharing the same online space.

Crossplay Segregation Between PC and Consoles

Cross-platform functionality has been a key part of EA’s multiplayer approach in recent years, but EA Sports FC 26 might be drawing a line between PC and console users. According to the leak, PC players will no longer be able to compete against players on console, though crossplay between same-generation consoles—like PS5 and Xbox Series X|S—will still be available.

This change appears to be a direct response to long-standing concerns about competitive fairness. PC players often benefit from faster frame rates, lower input lag, and more customizable control options. Separating the player pools could create a more balanced and enjoyable experience across the board.

If implemented, this would be a major strategic decision for EA, possibly affecting matchmaking, esports events, and even how online divisions and friendlies function.

May Trailer Reveal on the Horizon?

While the gameplay details are still under wraps, the leak hints at an official trailer reveal by the end of May. This would provide fans with a first look at what’s new in EA Sports FC 26—from visual upgrades to revamped modes and mechanical tweaks.

Given the potential August release, a late May trailer would fall right in line with EA’s historical pattern for pre-release marketing. Fans can expect the trailer to tease innovations in gameplay physics, Ultimate Team changes, or additions to cheap EAFC 26 Coins Career Mode that take advantage of next-gen hardware.
