Avengers Beta Multiplayer Guide - How to Play with Friends

How to play the Avengers beta with friends

To play with your friends in the beta of Marvel's Avengers, you have to complete the first missions on your own. This means completing the A-Day prologue mission called The Light That Failed, the second To Find Olympia mission with Kamala and Hulk, the Missing Links mission, and finally the Help Dr. Banner mission on the helicarrier. After completing these four missions, you will unlock the War Table on the Helicarrier, which you can use to play Warzone and Drop Zone multiplayer missions with your friends.

Several new missions will be unlocked on the War Table map, and these can all be played in multiplayer. Select any mission and you can invite your friends by tapping the empty boxes under your name on the matchmaking screen. You can also invite friends before choosing a mission by opening your menu and going to the Social tab. From there, select one of the open locations and invite your friends to form a Strike Team, which is the Avengers version of a party.

Can you have duplicate heroes in Marvel's Avengers Beta?

You cannot have duplicate heroes in the Avengers Beta. Each player must select a hero different from all the others. You can't have two people playing as Iron Man, for example.

Avengers Beta Matching Not Working

If you don't have enough friends to fill your team, you can use matchmaking to get other players to support you on your missions. The same restrictions apply, you still can't have duplicate heroes, for example, but you can ask real players to help you instead of AI companions. To do this, select a mission, then press Square / X to activate matchmaking. You can also activate AI companions in the hero list menu. Matchmaking doesn't work for many Marvel Avengers players, but there are a few things you can try to fix this.

Sometimes you will get a Failed to Join Session error when trying to match the Avengers beta. To correct the Failed to connect to session error, turn off matching. Then select the mission you want to play and re-enable matchmaking. This fixed the issue for some players, but others are still facing the issue. If this fix doesn't work for you, then playing solo with AI companions is your best bet until a patch is released.

Avengers Beta at-Crossplay?

Marvel's Avengers beta does not support cross play. Speaking to Shacknews, Shaun Escayg, Creative Director of Marvel's Avengers, shared some details about the cross-platform multiplayer plan with Avengers. “We love the idea of ​​cross-platform play,” Escayg told Shacknews. “It's not something we're doing right now. Our launch is going to be as it is. We play intergenerational games. PS4 players will play with PS5 players because we have an upgrade pass. Jump into day one on PS4, when you switch to your PS5, same with your Xbox One to your Xbox X, the idea that you can take your saved game and your progress with you. But at least we want to have in this ecosystem, PS4 to PS5 can connect co-op and Xbox One to Xbox X can connect co-op. Transgenerational, yes. Cross-platform, not at the moment. Cross-gen multiplayer between current and next-gen consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X is the primary focus of Crystal Dynamics at the moment.

Does Avengers Beta offer split-screen multiplayer?

Marvel's Avengers beta does not support local multiplayer, split screen, or couch co-op. The only way to play with your friends is online.

Avengers Beta Multiplayer not working

The Marvel's Avengers beta has a few multiplayer and matchmaking issues that prevent players from joining their friends or playing online with others. There is no concrete solution at the moment, but there are a few things you can try. If you're having matchmaking issues, try disabling the matchmaking, selecting a mission, and then re-enabling the matchmaking. Some people have reported that this fixed their matchmaking issues with the Avengers beta, but others were unlucky with this strategy. You should also check if your NAT type is set to Strict, which may prevent your ability to play online according to Square Enix.

• On Xbox One, if your NAT type is set to STRICT or MODERATE, you may experience matchmaking and connection issues. For more information on viewing and changing your NAT type, go here: https://support.xbox.com/help/Hardware-Network/connect-network/xbox-one-nat-error
• PS4 players may also experience matchmaking issues due to the type of NAT. Please go here for more information: https://support.playstation.com/s/article/Troubleshoot-Wired-or-Wireless-Network-Connection

If none of these fixes resolve your multiplayer issues, you will just have to wait for a fix to be released.
