To invite friends in Ready or Not, first check whether everyone is on the same platform or using cross-play. Cross-play is supported on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5; for cross-platform friend search and invites, link an Epic account and open the EOS overlay. You can enable cross-play in Main Menu > Settings > Gameplay Options, and an Epic account is optional for cross-play itself.

How to invite friends in Ready or Not

  1. Confirm which platform each player uses and whether your group needs cross-play. Ready or Not supports cross-play across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, according to VOID Interactive’s cross-play guide.

  2. If you are playing across platforms, go to Main Menu > Settings > Gameplay Options and enable cross-play if it is off. An invited player whose cross-play is disabled will be prompted to enable it before joining. (VOID Interactive, “Cross-Play and Epic Friends Integration in Ready or Not”.)

  3. For cross-platform friend search and invitations, link an Epic account in Multiplayer Options. Then open the EOS overlay using the control for your platform: Shift+F3 on PC, the View button on Xbox, or the Touchpad on PlayStation. VOID says linking an Epic account is not required just to use cross-play; it enables Epic friend discovery and cross-platform invite features.

    #1 Best Overall
    Ready or Not - Day 1 Edition – PlayStation 5
    • Take Command: Ready or Not delivers an immersive SWAT experience. Equip your team with authentic weapons and gear, deploy into high-stakes, real-world inspired missions to secure locations concealing unknown criminal threats and potential civilians.
    • The Weight of the Badge: Shoulder the weight of being a SWAT commander entrusted with confronting Los Sueňos’ criminal corruption and stopping it from overwhelming the city’s citizens. Every tactical decision matters, every outcome is yours to bear.
    • True Tactical Gameplay: Ready or Not is a true tactical shooter. Every mission is a high-stakes, life-or-death operation. Strategically forge your squad of elite SWAT officers, equip them with the right weapons and gear for the mission, position your team to tactically breach criminal strongholds and quickly identify and neutralize threats in tense, life threatening scenarios.
    • Your Mission is the Story: Ready or Not confronts you with a raw, unflinching mirror of real-world crime, exposing the horrors of human trafficking, drug running, illegal arms dealing, militant extremism, and terrorism through interwoven storylines that span multiple missions.
    • Cross-Comradery: Team up with friends to stem the tide of crime infesting the city. Enhanced with crossplay, Ready or Not supports up to five players in a co-operative tactical experience on all platforms. Communicate effectively to increase your tactical precision, watch your squad’s back, and successfully complete your mission.
  4. Create or join a lobby and use the in-game friends list or the relevant platform overlay. The exact same-platform invite steps can vary by platform, so follow the options shown in your game rather than relying on one universal button sequence. The in-game friends list does not require account linking, but it shows platform friends who are currently online and in-game.

  5. If you are creating a Friends-Only lobby, check its cross-play choice while creating it. That lobby-specific choice does not change your global cross-play setting. Public lobbies follow the host’s cross-play setting, according to VOID Interactive.

  6. If a console player cannot join a PC-hosted lobby, check whether the PC host is using mods. VOID states that console players cannot join a lobby hosted by a PC player using mods, even when cross-play is enabled.
