Cross Play, Friends, and Reporting

Game ID

In order to allow support of cross-network friends, all players will be assigned a Game ID. This can be found in the upper-left corner of the Friends menu. Your Game ID is what you will give other players in order for them to add you to their Cross Play friends list.

Platform-Specific List

The third drop-down in your Friends menu will display players specific to your platform and will be called Xbox Friends (XB), or Friends (PlayStation).

Add Friends Tab

The Add Friends tab will allow you to add a player from another platform. Press "A Select" (XBL) or "X Select" (PSN) to add a cross play friend.

The on-screen keyboard (Xbox/PlayStation) will now display, and you will need to enter the Game ID (as seen above) of the player you want to add.

Invites Tab

In the Invites drop-down, you will be able to see invites sent to you from other players.

Blocked Tab

Here, in this drop-down menu, you will see a list of players that you have blocked. Players who are blocked won't be able to send or receive an invitation. And just in case you blocked a player by mistake, you will be able to unblock a player by highlighting their name and selecting Unblock.

Add/Report

During a match, you can open the overview map. From here, you can select a player on the list by pressing RB (XB) or R1 (PlayStation) and press A (Xbox) or X (PS). Doing so will open the following options:

• Gamer Card
  • If the player is NOT on the same platform as you, you will not see this button at all.
• Add Friend
  • If this person is already a friend, you will have the option to remove the friend.
• Report
  • To report the player.

To mute a player, highlight the player you wish to mute and press X (XB) or Square (PlayStation). You will only see this with In-Game Chat set to Enabled (set to “Friends only” by default).

• Offensive names
  • Each platform has different profanity filters for offensive names. If a player on another network has an offensive name according to your platform's rules, the player's Gamertag/PSN ID will be asterisked out.
• Reporting a player
  • The Report option will be available anywhere that a name can be interacted with.
  • When a player selects Report they are presented with generic options:
    • Bad Language
    • Unsporting Behavior
    • Cheating
    • Harassment
    • Idle/Bot

Identifying players on a different platform

• A platform icon will be next to the players’ names who are on a different platform.
• Players without a platform icon are on the same platform as yourself.
