13. Can I enable Cross-play in an existing and new cloud Franchise league?

Yes, you can enable cross-play in new or existing leagues. Please note that this feature is in live beta and can be implemented in any league. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you start a new Franchise file for cross-play in the event our team would need to temporarily disable the feature during the live beta.

Note: cross-play availability can potentially be impacted on a platform by platform basis by things like planned or unplanned maintenance, server releases, Title Updates, unexpected downtime, or matchmaking updates.
