"Add Friends and Play Together in Marvel Rivals: A Guide"

*Marvel Rivals* is an exciting competitive hero shooter that brings together teams of six players in fast-paced, action-packed matches. While the game’s matchmaking system does a solid job of pairing you with suitable teammates, nothing beats playing alongside friends. Fortunately, adding friends in *Marvel Rivals* is a straightforward process. Here's how to connect and play with your friends seamlessly.

Adding Friends in Marvel Rivals

At this time, *Marvel Rivals* does not support cross-progression or cross-platform play. This means you can only add and play with friends who are on the same platform as you. However, the development team has confirmed plans to introduce this feature in a future update, so keep an eye out for announcements.

To begin adding friends, launch the game and locate the “Add Friends” icon positioned in the top corner of the screen, adjacent to your player profile. Clicking this icon will open a menu displaying a list of all players you’ve recently played with. From here, simply click on any name to send a friend request.

If you already know the username of the person you want to add, use the search bar at the top of the interface. Enter the username and press Enter. Once the correct profile appears, select it and send your friend request. Once accepted, their name will appear on your friends list, ready to join you in battle.

How to Play With Friends

With your friends list set up, it's time to start playing together. To invite a friend to your session, click on the friends list icon located in the top right corner of the screen. Find the friend you'd like to bring into the match, select their name, and hit the invite button.

Once they accept the invitation, you’ll be able to queue up for either Quick Play or Competitive matches as a team. Whether you're coordinating strategies or just having fun, playing with friends adds a whole new layer of enjoyment to *Marvel Rivals*.

For console players, if someone is already on your system-level friends list, they should automatically appear in your *Marvel Rivals* friends list too. This makes inviting them to matches even more convenient.

That’s everything you need to know about how to add friends and play with them in *Marvel Rivals*. For more tips, guides, and updates, make sure to follow The Escapist.
