After a few delays and multiple betas, Riders Republic is finally out for everyone to jump into. The selling point of Ubisoft's game is how populated the worlds are, so you'll want to explore with your squad. So that you can do so, here's a quick guide on how to invite friends in Riders Republic.
Rather than inviting players to individual events, you need to invite them to a group and then direct them from there, travelling to certain locations together or starting events for everyone.
Unlocking Multiplayer
First of all, you and any of the friends you want to play with will need to have completed the introduction series of events.
There are seven parts to it, introducing you to the bike and snow trick careers, as well as the basics of the gameplay.
Once you're back at the base and have been shown around the shops and multiplayer components, you'll be given the freedom to do whatever you like, including setting up a multiplayer group for you and your friends.
How to Invite Friends in Riders Republic
From wherever you are, the process is the same, and is nice and easy. First of all, pause the game, and then scroll over to the social tab there.
On that page, you'll see the 'Group' option, which is Riders Republic's version of parties.
You can then select 'invite to group', then choose who from your friends list you want to play with. You can even choose from people in the current lobby if you'd like to.
Then, all you need to do is wait for the friends you've invited to join the group. Then, you'll have the ability to choose what events you want to do or where you want to go as a crew.
What you need to do is press right on the d-pad and use the right stock to select 'invite group to location'.
Once your friends have accepted that invite too, they'll spawn where you are, whether that's by an event or somewhere random.
You can then jump into any event, knowing your friends are there to compete alongside you.
