Fallout 76is Bethesda’s first proper take on multiplayer gaming and the new open-world RPG has been built to be enjoyed with friends. From battling otherplayers in PvP combatto taking on powerful enemies and mutated creatures, the game is full of opportunities to play with pals. But how do players make that happen?
There are a couple of ways in which players can play with their friends inFallout 76. The first involves navigating the game’s menus. Here is a step by step:
It’s important to note that until you complete step four, you will just be two players on the same game server. Players have to complete step four of the step-by-step process above in order to be on the same team. Moreover, teams can include up to four players.
The other method for playing with friends inFallout 76is to accept an invite from someone. When another player has invited you to join their server, the prompt will show up on screen. Once this appears, just head to the social menu again to accept it.
With this all said, there is one pretty major caveat: players have to be on the same platform in order to playFallout 76together.Fallout 76does not have cross-platform playwith Bethesda executive Pete Hines confirming that the studio has no plans to make the feature available during the launch window.
However, Hines didn’t explicitly rule out adding cross-play in a post-launch update. Bethesda has already confirmed that it is planning a lot ofpost-launch DLCfor the game, though it has yet to fully detail its schedule or what that content may be like. This means that at some point in the future,Fallout 76players across all platforms will be able to play in co-op.
Fallout 76is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
