If you are wondering how to add friends in PUBG, then you have come to the right place. Let’s face it, it is not always that we would want to team up with random players across the country. Sometimes it is even more fun to play with your friends. Perhaps use the game as an excuse to catch up with some of your old friends! Here is how you can add them:
1. Launch PUBG on your mobile, console or any other platform that you use.
2. Wait for the game to load. Once the game is loaded, you will see the landing screen or the home screen of PUBG.
3. The home screen is where you will see your avatar in the middle with a set of features and options on the ends.
4. Locate a silver silhouette of two faces on your home screen. Typically, this is found on the extreme bottom left corner of your screen.
5. If you tap on that icon, it will take you to a different screen wherein you will find a menu on the right-hand corner of your screen that reads: “In-game”, “Recent” and “Add friends”.
6. Tap on the “Add Friends” tap and type your friend’s Username or Player ID. If you don’t know their ID, it is best to ask them.
7. After typing any one of those, hit “Search”. You will see the search results. From there, tap on the plus icon on the right-hand side of the player’s banner.
8. Once you have sent your request, you have to wait till your friend accepts it from their “Friends” menu. This will add you to their friend’s list.
Note: For PC the silver silhouette is found on the bottom right corner. The rest of the steps are the same.
