Mastering Friend Management in Marvel Rivals: A Comprehensive Guide

Marvel Rivals, the exhilarating 6v6 hero shooter, offers smooth matchmaking, but the real fun lies in teaming up with friends. This guide details how to add and play with friends in Marvel Rivals.

Adding Friends in Marvel Rivals

Currently, Marvel Rivals lacks cross-progression and cross-play, meaning you can only add friends on the same platform. However, the developers have confirmed that cross-platform functionality is planned for a future update.

To add friends:

1. Locate the friends icon, usually situated near your player profile in the top-right corner of the main menu.
2. Clicking this icon displays a list of recently played players. Select a player from this list to add them to your friends list.
3. Alternatively, use the search bar to find a player by their username. Enter the username and press Enter to initiate the friend request.

Once your friend accepts the request, they'll appear on your friends list.

Playing with Friends

With your friends list populated, playing together is straightforward:

1. Access your friends list via the icon in the top-right corner.
2. Locate the desired friend and select their username.
3. Send an invite to join your game.
4. Queue for either quick play or competitive matches and begin playing together.

Console players benefit from automatic integration. Friends added on the console's system level will automatically appear in your Marvel Rivals friends list, simplifying the invitation process.
