How to invite friends to Deadlock

Deadlock isn’t a bad experience solo, though you’ll have a lot more fun with friends. Not only can you communicate with each other and make plays more easily, but you can also get up to some shenanigans and enjoy your time far more. Who doesn’t love coordinating a Dynamo and Bebop CC fiesta? As such, you might be wondering how you can get your friends in for the party. Here’s how to invite your friends to Deadlock.

How to get your friends into Deadlock

To add your friends to Deadlock, you’ll first need to make sure you’re friends with them on Steam. You likely already are, but just in case, to add friends on Steam you want to do the following:

• Hover over your name at the top of the Steam Client and click Friends.
• Click “Add a Friend” on the left sidebar.
• Use one of the displayed methods to add a friend, likely having your friend navigate to the same menu.

Once you both have each other added, launch Deadlock and get to the main menu. From here, click the “Invite your Friends” button in the bottom right to bring up a small UI. After that, simply click on whichever friends you want to add to the game to get them in there. This could take anywhere between a few minutes up to a few days as listed, so you’ll need to remain patient if they aren’t added immediately.

How many friends can you invite?

Thanks to the way Valve is handling this playtest, you can invite as many of your friends to play Deadlock as you want! The amount of people you can add is seemingly infinite, though you probably shouldn’t add people to the playtest if you know they won’t play the game or will hate it. It won’t harm anything, but it is a waste of time.
