Adding Friends in Marvel Rivals
Before you dive into adding friends, it's important to know that *Marvel Rivals* currently does not support cross-progression or cross-play. This means you can only add friends who are on the same platform as you. However, the developers have announced that these features will be added in future updates, so stay tuned for that exciting development.
To add friends, launch *Marvel Rivals* and locate the add friends icon situated in the top corner near your player profile. Clicking on this icon will display a list of players you've recently encountered in the game. Simply click on any player from this list to send them a friend request.
Alternatively, if you know the username of the person you want to add, you can use the search bar within the friends menu. Enter their username, press the Enter key, and then send a friend request. Once they accept your request, they will appear in your friends list.
How to Play With Friends
With your friends list in *Marvel Rivals* now populated, you're ready to team up and conquer the battlefield together.
To invite a friend to play, click on the friends list icon located in the top right corner of the screen. Browse through your friends list, select the username of the friend you wish to play with, and send them an invitation to join your game. Once they accept, you can queue up for quick play or competitive matches and start battling as a team.
For console players, adding friends is even more seamless. If you've added someone to your friends list at the system level, they will automatically appear in your *Marvel Rivals* friends list, making it easier to invite and play with them.
