You can invite friends from all platforms to join your crew. The following guide will show you how to do so.
Please note: To invite friends from other platforms, please ensure they are added as friends on Xbox Live.
Pre-game Lobby
Before you set sail, press the square button to display the in-game friends list which highlights all of your PlayStation®5 friends as well as those on other platforms.
In-game
To invite friends on PlayStation®5 as well as other platforms to your active game session:
- Enter the Game Options menu
- Select ‘My Crew’
- Press Square to open the in-game friends list
Through the PlayStation®5 Game Base menu (PlayStation®5 Friends only)
When viewing your friends list through the PlayStation®5 game base menu, simply select their account and select ‘Invite to Game’.
Receiving and accepting game invites
Receiving and accepting game invites works slightly differently depending on platform.
PlayStation®5 to PlayStation®5 invites
If you are playing on PlayStation®5 and receive an invite from another PlayStation®5 player, press the PS Button on your controller to accept.
Other platforms to PlayStation®5 invites
If you receive an invite from another platform and are playing on PlayStation®5, you will receive an in-game notification. Press "X" to accept this invite.
Accepting Friend Requests from players on different platforms
Due to changes with the Xbox friends system, PlayStation®5 players may find that friend requests result in your Xbox Live account following that player instead of being added as a friend, and so game invites can appear to be lost. For example:
- If a Xbox / PC player sends a friend invite to a PlayStation®5 player, the PlayStation®5 player will not receive the invite.
- The Xbox account privacy setting 'Others can communicate with Voice, text or invites' being set to 'Friends' for the PlayStation®5 player.
When receiving this issue, this can be resolved by using the Xbox App on PC or Phone to accept friend requests. Once the friend request has been accepted, invites will be received as normal.
