Short answer

Do mods work on an FS25 crossplay server?

Yes, but only ModHub mods. External FTP mods disable crossplay automatically, because PS5 and Xbox can't load external mods.

Crossplay and mods — what works?

Mods and crossplay get along — but only under one condition: ModHub mods exclusively. Anything uploaded via FTP automatically disables crossplay, because PS5 and Xbox can't load external mods.

The best ModHub mods for crossplay servers

These mods work reliably with crossplay and are especially popular on multiplayer servers:

Productivity & gameplay

  • Courseplay — AI vehicle control, the classic for multiplayer farms
  • AutoDrive — automatic driving routes for tractors and trucks
  • Precision Farming — more realistic soil care and soil samples
  • Global Company — shared company management with a joint account

Comfort & UI

  • SimpleInspector — shows server FPS and player info in-game
  • Seasons (if available) — realistic seasonal cycle
  • VehicleInspector — vehicle status and maintenance info

Map mods

  • All official DLC maps (Highlands, Zielonka, etc.) — always crossplay-compatible
  • ModHub maps that have gone through the official review process

Which mods break crossplay?

In principle, any mod uploaded via FTP — no matter how popular it is. That's a technical restriction from Sony and Microsoft, not from Giants or your server provider.

Practical rule: If you can find a mod on the ModHub and subscribe to it right in the game → crossplay works. If you have to upload it as a ZIP file via FTP → crossplay is disabled.

How many ModHub mods can I use with crossplay?

There's no fixed upper limit. The limit comes from server performance:

  • Rule of thumb: Up to 30–40 ModHub mods, any good server runs without problems
  • From 50+ mods, the server CPU should be strong enough — FS25 mainly uses one CPU core, so single-core performance is what counts

Pro tip: two servers for maximum flexibility

If you want both crossplay and external FTP mods, the cleanest solution is two separate servers:

  • Server 1: crossplay server with ModHub mods — for all platforms
  • Server 2: PC-only server with all your FTP mods — for the hardcore PC crowd
