Is Madden NFL 26 cross-platform?
Does Madden NFL 26 have cross-platform support?
According to EA, Madden NFL 26 doesn't have full cross-platform support, but almost. This year, Madden NFL 26 will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and PC. Cross-platform support will be available between PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, but not the Nintendo Switch 2. Sorry, Nintendo fans, but you will only be able to matchmake with other Switch 2 players. As far as what modes are available for crossplay, you will be able to go online in the Head-to-Head, Franchise, Madden Ultimate Team, Superstar KO, and Superstar Showdown modes. One feature of note that will not have crossplay is the Madden Ultimate Team Auction House. You can only spend your Coins on items put up by players on your specific platform.

As always, you can opt to turn crossplay on or off in the settings if you would rather limit your matchmaking pool to just your console.
Besides crossplay, Madden NFL 26 also includes cross-progression so you can bring your Superstar avatar and purchases between platforms. Again, this has the same restrictions as crossplay, meaning Switch 2 players will be left out. Still, being able to transfer your Superstar and gear between platforms is a welcome feature, even if the Switch 2 is left out.

What is 'pebbling'? Dating experts explain and reveal why LGBTQ+ folks do it best
We often associate members of the animal kingdom with gay slang. Go to a gay bar and you're likely to spot bears, otters, cubs, and maybe even a silver fox or two. But now penguins have entered the dating vernacular. Well, not penguins themselves, but their very cute mating ritual. The new dating trend 'pebbling' is gaining traction online and is inspired by the Gentoo penguin's sweet love language, where male penguins gift female penguins with small pebbles to build their nests in a unique courting ritual. Humans looking for love aren't gifting each other rocks (unless maybe you're an LA lesbian giving a prospective partner some healing crystals), but they are sending small tokens of their affection throughout the day, like funny memes, a TikTok video that made you smile, or buying them their favorite snacks. This is 'pebbling.' But what exactly is this wholesome dating trend, why do people do it, and how does it show up in LGBTQ+ dating? To get to the bottom of it, PRIDE talked to Sofie Roos, a bisexual licensed sexologist and relationship therapist with over 18 years of experience. What is 'pebbling?' Danita Delimont/Shutterstock Penguins inspired the term 'pebbling' Named after the sweet penguin mating ritual, pebbling describes gifting someone you're dating with small presents, yummy treats, or even funny videos that made you think of them. While it's mostly used to refer to dating, people also do these small acts of kindness for friends and family. 'It can be to make your partner breakfast in the morning, doing the groceries, sending them a song you like and think they would enjoy as well, to buy your partner their favorite snack when they have a bad day, or to tag their name on a cute Instagram post that made you think of them,' Roos tells PRIDE. You can also pebble people you're crushing on as a way to leave a lasting impression. 'It can also be done to someone you're interested in to make them feel your love and interest for them,' which is a great way to 'make them fall for you.' What is the purpose of pebbling? Whether you're sending your long-distance partner a good morning text, or bringing home your lover's favorite treat after a hard day, or peppering them with your favorite memes to make the work day less grueling, people are pebbling as a way to make their loved one happy, and out of a desire to share things you think they would enjoy. According to Roos, these gifts and everyday moments of connection help build 'a stronger relationship and better intimacy.' 'By doing this, you show your partner that they truly matter, and make them feel it,' she explains. 'Because most people don't feel loved by the big actions such as a fancy date or an expensive vacation, but by often getting small gestures of love from their partner, and that's why pebbling is so great to implement in your relationship, or when dating!' How can it help communicate interest? Lightfield Studios/Shutterstock A man giving a gift Pebbling can be a charming way to flirt with someone in a way that feels more gentle and natural than telling someone you're interested or trying to flirt in a more overt way. 'If done right, then pebbling is a discreet and elegant way of making someone understand your interest for them, a way that doesn't feel too much or pushy,' Roos says. But you have to make sure the recipient of your small gifts understands why you're doing it and doesn't ignore these signs of interest because it isn't a grand gesture. 'For it to work, you must make the person you 'pebble really feel it, because otherwise it's easy that they don't notice, or that they reject you for just being kind,' she admits. When is it overkill? 'While pebbling can be very cute, it can also be a bit overkill, especially if doing it aggressively or too much early on when trying to get someone to like you,' Roos warns. Pebbling can quickly turn into toxic love bombing if you go too far. She says it should just be one 'tool' in a 'big tool box' full of other ways you shower your partner or crush with affection. 'Use pebbling with some delicacy, ideally in combination with other ways of showing interest, such as physically, by having great conversation and by asking them out,' Roos says. Are LGBTQ+ more likely to pebble? Vergani Fotografia/Shutterstock A lesbian who is pebbling by showing her girlfriend something on her phone. Pebbling may only be entering the zeitgeist now, but queer people have been using this technique for years, since it was a safe and more covert way of showing romantic interest or affection even when it wasn't safe to live out loud and proud. 'Generally, people within the LGBTQ+ community are better at showing love in creative ways that are a bit outside the box, especially people who've grown up in a context where they haven't been able to openly show their love and interest, making many better at pebbling since that's a 'sneaky' way to try to show your interest for someone,' she explains. What does it mean when someone seems to be pebbling you? It really depends. 'Most of the time, it means that someone notices you and is thinking about you,' Roos says, but cautions that while pebbling can be a way of showing love, it can also be more casual than that. It may just mean someone is attracted to you or are using pebbling to flirt with you. Or they're doing it because they love your friendship. 'It can also have nothing to do with love, but that someone just wants to show you some love at a friendly level,' Roos explains.
