Adding Friends in Marvel Rivals

Before we get started, it's important to note 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. Don't worry, though—the developers have announced that these features are on their way, so keep an eye out for future updates.

To add friends, launch the game and look for the add friends icon in the top corner next to your player profile. Click on it to see a list of players you've recently played with. You can add them to your friends list directly from here.

If you want to add someone specific, use the search bar to enter their username. Hit the Enter key, find them in the results, and send a friend request. Once they accept, they'll appear in your friends list, ready to team up.

How to Play With Friends

With your friends list now filled, it's time to jump into matches together. Click on the friends list icon in the top right corner of the screen. Find the friend you want to play with, select their username, and send them an invite to join your game.

You can then queue up for quick play or Competitive matches and enjoy the thrill of battling alongside your buddies. If you're on a console, friends added at the system level will automatically appear in your *Marvel Rivals* friends list, making it even easier to invite and play together.

And there you have it—how to add friends and play with them in *Marvel Rivals*. For more tips and insights on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
