Mecha Breakhas a pretty smooth matchmaking system that allows you to play with strangers on the internet, but you can also play in the same squad with your buddies.

As of writing, the PVP-based mecha shooter is available on PC and Xbox consoles. With built-in crossplay, you may play with your buddies irrespective of whether you’re all on the same platform or different ones. But to do so, you’ll need to add one another and become friends inside the game.

How to add your friends in Mecha Break?

you’re able to add your friends using theCommsmenu, which is located at the bottom left of the main lobby. This section allows you to send invites to your friends using their account name. The process is the same regardless of whether they’re on PC or Xbox.

Your display name is shown beside your profile picture at the top of your screen. You can either send it to your friend or use their name to send them a request. If both of you are on Steam, you can simply add each other on the platform. Then, open the Steam friend list from insideMecha Breakto add your friend to the same group. This will bypass the requirement of manually adding each other as friends inside the game.

How to create a group in Mecha Break?

If you don’t have friends to add to your party, you can still play with other people (instead of random strangers). To do so, you’ll have to recruit them to your team by using theRecruitbutton. This button is placed above the play button (akaStrikeon the main screen).

You can also use this option to join a team created by another player. Teams are based on the preferred game mode and languages. This ensures proper communication (which is key to winning) and the fact that every member of the team is on the same boat when it comes to the preferred game mode.
