SOCIAL & MULTIPLAYER

Private Match Friend Invites Added

Players can now invite friends directly into private matches through the friends system.

This update expands upon the friends system introduced in last week’s update and continues our ongoing effort to add better social features into Beyond Solar.

How it works:

• Select a friend from your friends list
• Press the appropriate input button to send an invite
• The invited player receives a proper invite notification
• Notifications will also appear when the lobby becomes ready
• Once the invite is accepted, both players are taken directly into the fight

Private matches are currently unranked and are designed for casual play. Players will still receive currencies that can be used for upgrades and progression.

Things to keep in mind:

• You cannot invite multiple friends at the same time
• Your current invite request must either be cancelled or declined before sending another one
• Friend invites can currently only be sent through the Friends Panel on the main menu
• We will continue expanding where players can appropriately access the friends list and send invites throughout future updates

We will continue polishing the UX flow, invite system, and notifications throughout future updates.
