Adding Friends in Marvel Rivals
It's important to note that *Marvel Rivals* currently does not support cross-progression or cross-play. This means you can't add players from different platforms at the moment. However, the developers have confirmed that these features are on their roadmap, so keep an eye out for future updates.
To add friends, launch the game and locate the add friends icon in the top corner next to your player profile. Clicking on it will display a list of players you’ve recently encountered in matches. You can easily add them to your friends list by selecting their names.
Another method to add friends is by using the search bar. Simply enter the username of the player you wish to add, press Enter, and then send them a friend request. Once they accept, 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 filled, you're ready to team up and dominate the battlefield. To start playing together, click on the friends list icon located in the top right corner of the screen. Find the friend you want to play with, select their username, and send them an invitation to join your game.
Once they accept, you can queue up for quick play or competitive matches and enjoy the game together. If you're playing on a console, friends added at the system level will automatically appear in your *Marvel Rivals* friends list, simplifying the process of inviting and playing with them.
