In order to play Duos and Squads with friends, the player can invite them to their game via either Steam or Discord. Once the player presses one of the plus sign buttons on the main menu, they will be prompted to choose to form a party via Steam or Discord.
Steam
In order to form a team through Steam, the player must send a Steam invite through the game or their Steam Friends List. To form a team in this manner, all players must have the full version of the game, and invites can only be sent to Steam friends.
Discord
In order to form a team through Discord, the player can use the Discord In-Game Overlay to invite people via Direct Messages. In addition, they can post an invite to channels that anyone with the game can accept to join their squad. Through Discord, players with the full version can group up with players who have the Super Free Edition.
