In this update we have specifically focussed on feedback we've received around finding matches as well as the desire to setup you're own private matches outside of matchmaking.

Private Matches

  • Private Matches can now be created through the Friends menu. Steam Friends of anyone in the session can join this via the Friends menu, but it will not be open to public matchmaking. Achievements and XP are not awarded in a Private Match.
  • The 'waiting for players' state in private sessions is set to 10 minutes
  • Indication that the player is in a Private Match is displayed on the map loading screen, and in the Pause menu.

  • The minimum number of players required to start a full session has been reduced to 2.

As always we'd love to hear your feedback on the forums!
