Adding Friends in Marvel Rivals
Before we dive in, 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 confirmed that these features are on the roadmap, so keep an eye out for future updates.
To add friends, start by launching *Marvel Rivals*. Look for the add friends icon, conveniently located in the top corner next to your player profile. Clicking on this icon will reveal a list of players you’ve recently played with, allowing you to easily add them to your friends list with a simple click.
If you have a specific friend in mind, you can also use the search bar. Just type in their username, hit the Enter key, and send them a friend request. Once they accept your request, they'll appear in 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 team up and dominate the battlefield together.
To invite a friend to play, click on the friends list icon in the top right corner of the screen. Scroll through your list, select the username of the friend you want to play with, and send them an invite to join your game. From there, you can queue up for quick play or dive into Competitive matches, ready to showcase your teamwork and strategy.
For console players, the process is even smoother. Friends added at the system level will automatically appear in your *Marvel Rivals* friends list, making it a breeze to invite them and start playing together.
