Eager to play crossplay in Ready or Not but can’t add friends? You may not like the solution to your problem

Currently, Ready or Not isn’t in its optimal state. Following its console release, it faced backlash due to censorship, leading to review bombing.

This issue isn’t entirely surprising given the developers’ earlier announcement about potential complications, but many gamers seem displeased by these challenges.

How to add friends in Ready or Not

As a gamer, I can’t stand it when I’m compelled to establish extra accounts just to play a game on a specific platform. Recall the uproar surrounding the PSN account and Helldivers 2 on Steam? Quite an intriguing situation… It appears history may be repeating itself now, but this time it seems the developers have a valid explanation for their actions.

Essentially, you have the freedom to engage in crossplay across various platforms like Steam, EPIC, PS5, or Xbox. But, there’s a condition to be aware of. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to connect and manage friends from different platforms because of the separate peer-to-peer systems in use. To address this issue, developers have proposed a solution that has sparked debate among many users.

Currently, to connect with new friends, you’ll need to associate your Epic Account, which is distinct from the Epic Games Store. This connection enables you to monitor your friends across both PC and console platforms directly within the game itself.

  1. Go to the Main Menu.
  2. Open Settings.
  3. Pick Gameplay Options.
  4. Find Multiplayer Options.
  5. Choose Account Linking button.

To facilitate adding friends from various platforms without encountering problems, ensure to activate crossplay in the Settings. Upon opening the multiplayer menu for the first time, a prompt will appear. Later, you can adjust your choice under the Gameplay Options (accessible through the Main Menu). Simply switch Cross-Platform on or off as needed.
