Dive into the action-packed world of Marvel Rivals, the competitive hero shooter where six-player teams clash! While the matchmaking system is generally reliable, nothing beats teaming up with friends. Here's how to add friends and conquer the battlefield together.
Adding Friends in Marvel Rivals
Important note: Currently, Marvel Rivals doesn't support cross-progression or cross-play. This means you can only add friends on the same platform. However, the developers have confirmed that cross-platform functionality is in the works, so stay tuned!
Adding friends is simple. Upon launching the game, locate the friend icon (usually near your player profile in the top corner). Clicking it reveals a list of recent players; simply select a player to add them to your friends list.
Alternatively, use the search bar to find a friend by their username. Enter the username, press Enter, and then add them. Once they accept your friend request, they'll appear in your friends list.
How to Play With Friends
With your friends list populated, it's time for some cooperative mayhem! Click the friends list icon (top right corner), locate your desired friend, select their username, and send an invite. You'll then be able to queue for quick play or competitive matches and battle alongside your comrades.
For console players, friends added on your console's system level should automatically appear in your Marvel Rivals friends list, simplifying the process even further.
