Firstly, if you want to be able to play with friends on different platforms you will need to register for an Epic Games account,

If you already play the game on PC, Mac or mobile then you will already have an account set up, however many console users probably won’t.

To set up an account you need to go to the Epic Games website and register using you console account, which ensures you keep all of your current progress in the game.

You will then need to add your friends through the Epic Launcher on a PC or Mac by adding their username or email address.

Once you’re in the game lobby on your platform, you should then see your friends in the friend list that is in the right-hand corner of the screen.

You can then simply invite them to join your squad and you should be ready to go.

Which platform will your squad be put in?

Players can’t choose to play within a certain platform, so PC players can’t choose to play specifically within a PS4 game.

Instead it is a hierarchy that puts PC first, console second and mobile third.

This means that if your squad has mobile, PC and PS4 players, your team will always be placed in a PC game.

The only way you would play in a mobile game is if all of your squad are playing using a mobile device.
