How To Add Friends To New World: Aeternum
To add friends to the New World: Aeternum friend list, players need to open the Social menu (O on PC, D-Pad on PS5, Xbox button + guide) and select “Add Friend” by typing the name of the player they want to add to the list or selecting it from the chat, or from the contextual menu by examining a nearby player. Once both have each other on their Friend Lists, playing together is as easy as sending a Group request, then the group can get into matchmaking, complete expeditions, raids, or whatever activity they desire.
Additionally, groups of more than 5 players can create their ownCompaniesto participate in Territory Control Wars, and Manage Territory together,as long as they belong to the same Faction, that is: the Syndicate, the Covenant, or the Marauders
How To Activate Crossplay In New World: Aeternum
There are times when several friends who play in different platforms want to band together, and since New World: Aeternum launched, this has become a reality thanks to crossplay servers. To activate crossplay in the game, players just need to follow these steps:
In most cases, crossplay will be activated by default, but in case players do not wish to share worlds with console/PC players, they should go back to the menu and toggle the option Off. Simple as that, and they can enjoy the game however they want, with whoever they want to.
Best Activities To Play With Friends In New World: Aeternum
Besides Questing and completing the Main Storyline, there’s a list of activitiesNew World: Aeternumplayers can enjoy with their friends:
No matter what they pick, they will surely enjoy their time playing together, though if they had to pick the best activities to do together, they should start with Expeditions, then Raids and Trials. That way they are bound to find a good team synergy and be prepared in case they want to participate in more complex activities such as Territory Wars and PvP Arenas. They can evenpick their mounts and race together.
Then, there are many world events they can take part in, like Corruption Invasions, which are massive social PvE events where the reigning players of a city do a call-out to every player who wants to defend the city from the Corrupted Invasion. If the players successfully survive the 10 (or more depending on the difficulty) waves of this onslaught, they’ll receive great rewards. If they fail, the city will randomly lose a Station Level, or any other building progress in their facilities., which is bad, since every player who often uses stations in said city will have to contribute again to rebuild.
