  • From here, you will be able to select Search to find the friend you wish to add.
  • Once you have found the friend you are looking for, highlight and select that friend on the list.
  • After their profile has loaded up, you can click on Add Friend to get them onto your PS5 friend list.

    • Once you have gotten your friend's list set up, you'll be able to see which members of your crew are online so you can game together.

    A good accessory to have while gaming with friends or even solo is a comfortable set of headphones. Put on a good set and you'll find yourself fully immersed in the gaming experience. Since most gaming headsets feature a built-in microphone, you'll be able to chat with friends and others online. Now, time to team up for your next victory!
