How to Add Friends & Play Together in Marvel Rivals

Dive into the action-packed world of Marvel Rivals, a competitive hero shooter where teams of six clash for supremacy. While the matchmaking system generally delivers balanced gameplay, nothing beats teaming up with friends. Here's how to add friends and conquer the battlefield together in Marvel Rivals.

Adding Friends in Marvel Rivals

It's important to note that Marvel Rivals currently lacks cross-progression and cross-play. This means you can only add friends on the same platform. However, the developers have confirmed that cross-platform functionality is on the roadmap, so stay tuned for future updates!

Adding friends is straightforward. Upon launching the game, locate the add friends icon, usually found in the top corner near your player profile. Clicking this icon reveals a list of recently played players, allowing you to easily add them to your friends list with a simple click.

Alternatively, use the search bar to find a friend by entering their username. Press Enter, and then add them from the search results. Once your friend accepts your request, they'll appear on your friends list.

How to Play With Friends

With your friends list populated, it's time to team up!

Click the friends list icon (typically located in the top right corner). Locate the friend you wish to play with, select their username, and send them an invitation. You'll then be able to queue together for quick play or competitive matches and dominate the competition as a team.

For console players, friends added at the system level should automatically appear in your Marvel Rivals friends list, simplifying the process of inviting and playing with them.
