While there is always an option to play the game solo, playing Helldivers 2 with friends can just add to the experience. The game also supports crossplay so it doesn’t matter if your friends play on a PC or PS5 you can still invite them. To make things better the process in itself is fairly easy. So here is a quick guide on how you can set up and play multiplayer.

How to Add Friends in Helldivers 2

  1. Open the game’s menu.
  2. Next, go to the Social tab.
  3. Now, there are two important things to note here:
    • Search tab: This is where you can enter your friend’s code that the game generates for them.
    • Your Friend Code: This is what you need to use to generate your own code and give it to them for searching you. It is the Tab key on PC and the Triangle button for PS5.
  4. Here, one friend has to generate the code and the other has to look them up.
  5. You can find the request in the Friend Request tab.
  6. Accept the invite and you will add them as your friend.

How To Invite Friends to Squad and Play Multiplayer

  1. Go to the Social tab in the menu.
  2. In the Friends section, you can see a list of all your friends.
  3. Now, either choose “Invite to Squad” or “Join Squad”.
  4. After everyone has joined the squad you can start playing with them.

Can’t Add Friends Fix for Helldivers 2

There is an odd bug where PC and PS5 players can’t seem to add each other as friends. However, this happens if your Steam ID doesn’t have normal characters. Thanks to Reddit user u/TrustLily for finding this fix, you can check their comment here. So change your Steam name to something with regular characters and it should also have at least 3 of them. Now, invite again and you should have no trouble adding them, some comments have also confirmed it to work.

That is all for how you can add and play crossplay with friends in Helldivers 2. In case you are having trouble with the game then be sure to check the fixes for server request failed and unable to establish connection.
