*Marvel Rivals* is an exhilarating competitive hero shooter where teams of six battle it out. Whether you're diving into the action through matchmaking or teaming up with friends, the game offers a thrilling experience. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to add friends and play together in *Marvel Rivals*.
Before we get into the nitty-gritty, it's important to know that *Marvel Rivals* currently does not support cross-progression or cross-play. This means you can't add friends from other platforms at the moment. However, the developers have announced plans to introduce these features in future updates, so keep an eye out for that exciting development.
To add friends within the game, start by launching *Marvel Rivals*. Look for the add friends icon, which you'll find in the top corner next to your player profile. Upon clicking it, you'll be greeted with a list of players you've recently played with. Simply click on their names to send a friend request.
Another way to add friends is by using the search bar. Type in the username of the player you wish to add, press Enter, and then send them a friend request. Once they accept, they'll appear on your friends list, ready for you to team up with.
With your friends list in *Marvel Rivals* now filled, you're all set to start playing together. To do this, click on the friends list icon located in the top right corner of your screen. Scroll through your list, find the friend you want to team up with, select their username, and hit the invite button to bring them into your game.
Once your friend joins, you can queue up for quick play or jump into Competitive matches and enjoy the teamwork and strategy that *Marvel Rivals* offers.
If you're on a console, adding friends is even more seamless. Players you've added to your console's friends list will automatically appear in your *Marvel Rivals* friends list, making it easier to invite them and start playing together.
