The Finals’ Open Beta kicked off recently, and players are wondering whether they can play the game with their friends already, and if they can, what the process looks like. As with most games in open beta, there are a few issues that players have been facing in The Finals, but if stats are to speak, the game is already a hit among fans.
The crossplay functionality serves as the icing on the cake, with players being able to play with their friends on PC, Xbox Series X, and PlayStation 5. The lack of a last-gen release is a bit of a bummer, but the game’s graphics are a testament to why it wasn’t possible. If you are looking to party up with your friends, here is all you need to know about it.
How To Add & Invite Friends
Due to the crossplay functionality, adding friends in The Finals is actually a bit different than you would expect. Firstly, you would need to ensure that you have completed the initial signup process which takes place the first time you start the game. If you have already played a match, you must have already completed this so you can simply ignore this step. Once that’s done, follow the given steps.
- Go to the Embark ID website and select the platform you are playing.
- Proceed to log in with the same account you want to play with friends on. For PC it would be your Steam account, PSN account for PlayStation, and Microsoft account for Xbox.
- Verify your email to complete the registration process
- Now head to the in-game menu and enable cross-play. You will find this option under the Network section in settings.
- Once that’s done, all you need to do is head to the Social tab and click on Add Friend
- You will now be able to see which players are online and able to invite them directly to your party. Additionally, you can go to the Party section to see your current party.
After the initial hassle, the process is pretty seamless and you should be able to play with your friends across platforms. Sometimes players have reported that they aren’t able to see other players, and in that case, we recommend restarting the game, and that fixes it most of the time.
