Adding Friends in Marvel Rivals
Before diving into the steps, it's important to note that *Marvel Rivals* currently does not support cross-progression or cross-play. This means you can't add friends who are playing on different platforms. However, the developers have announced that these features will be added in future updates, so keep an eye out for that exciting news.
To add friends, start by launching the game. You'll find the 'add friends' icon conveniently located in the top corner, right next to your player profile. Click on it, and you'll be greeted with a list of players you've recently played with. Simply click on any player to send them a friend request.
If you know the username of the player you want to add, you can also use the search bar. Just type in the username, hit the Enter key, and then add them from the search results. Once they accept your request, they'll appear on your friends list, ready to join you in battle.
How to Play With Friends
With your friends list in *Marvel Rivals* now populated, you're all set to start playing together. To do this, click on the friends list icon in the top right corner of the screen. Scroll through your list to find the friend you want to play with, select their username, and send them an invite to join your game.
Once they accept, you can then queue up for either quick play or Competitive matches and enjoy the teamwork and camaraderie that comes with playing alongside friends.
If you're playing on a console, any friends you've added at the system level will automatically appear in your *Marvel Rivals* friends list. This seamless integration makes it even easier to invite and play with your console buddies.
