Troubleshooting When Unable to Invite
| Summary of troubleshooting when unable to invite |

| When a player cannot be found, try logging in again |
| If you want to play between PS4 and PS5, play on the PS4 version |
When a player cannot be found, try logging in again
Try logging in again if the "Player Not Found" message occurs when forming a group between PC and console versions. It's possible for the error to occur if inviting from the PC version to the console version. In such cases, try sending invitations from the console version or logging in again.
If you want to play between PS4 and PS5, play on the PS4 version
| Cases where you can invite between PS4 and PS5 | |
|---|---|
| Play together on the PS4 version of OW2 | |
| Play together on the PS4 and PS5 versions | |
If you are unable to invite to a group between PS4 and PS5, unify on the PS4 version and play together. As of November 21, 2022, there is a bug in the group invitation feature between PS4 and PS5, where group invitations may not be received or accepting invitations may not allow participation. However, if you unify on the PS4 version, you can join the group.
