Competitive Hero Shooters are always more enjoyable when you’re playing with friends, and the same goes for NetEase Games’ latest title, Marvel Rivals. Set in the iconic Marvel Universe, you can pick from a pool of more than 30 of your favorite childhood heroes and go on epic 6v6 PVP matchups. And when your friends are backing you up, things get even more exciting.
Since the game supports crossplay, you won’t have to be on the same system as your friends to hop into a team game together. But of course, the first step is adding them to your list. In this short guide, we’ll show exactly how you can do that and invite them to your team in Marvel Rivals.

How to Invite Friends to Team in Marvel Rivals
Once you’ve added a friend in Marvel Rivals, inviting them to your party is pretty straightforward. Simply click on the Play button and click any of the empty boxes under your name. Choose the friend you want to invite to your party, and once they accept, they’ll be added to your team.
From there, you can simply start a match and hop into a game once a match with your friend is found. Only the team leader, the one who created the team, can start the match. For invited team members, the Start button is grayed out.
Playing with friends lets you experiment with different Team-Up Powers and hero combos to see what best suits your playstyle. Since the game is meant to be played as a team, having a friend with whom you can communicate easily is the best way to seize victory in Marvel Rivals.
