Does NHL 22 Support Cross Gen Play?

Cross Gen Play does not normally work in NHL 22 but you can still enjoy this feature if you purchase a more expensive version of the game.

If I purchase the PlayStation 5 edition of NHL 22, then I can’t enjoy the game with players who purchased the PlayStation 4 edition of NHL 22 & installed it on their PlayStation 4. But if I have also purchased the PS4 edition of the game, then I can enjoy the game with other gamers who are using the PlayStation 4 edition on their PlayStation 4. If players use the same edition of NHL 22 as their buddies, then they can enjoy the game with them.

But do we have to purchase two copies of NHL 22 in order to play with PS4 players? Purchase X-Factor Edition of the game that contains both PlayStation 4 & PlayStation 5 editions of NHL 22. If you purchase the NHL 22 X-Factor Edition on PlayStation 5, then you must install it twice. You need to setup the PlayStation 5 edition, which lets you play with other PlayStation 5 players, & you need to setup PlayStation 4 edition to enjoy the game with players of PlayStation 4. Same method works for Xbox.

If you want to enjoy NHL 22 with players of both old & new generation on PlayStation or Xbox, then you need to buy X-Factor Edition of NHL 22 that must be installed twice in order to play with both generations of the console.

 

What is Cross Gen Save / Cross Gen Progression?

Cross Gen Save / Cross Gen Progression gives players an opportunity to transfer their game data including saved games & other stuff from current to next-gen systems.
