How to invite friends in Warzone 2: Social menu bug now fixed

Warzone 2’s initially broken Social menu has seemingly been fixed as players can now invite friends to join their game without issue. Here’s how it’s done.

The newly released Warzone 2 was always going to launch with a few problems in tow, such is the nature of online games.

One issue especially troubling users early on was the Social menu, which allows players to check on their friends’ statuses and join games.

Throughout the first 24 hours, clicking on the Social tab kicked users back to Warzone 2’s main menu. While it was especially frustrating at the time, players soon uncovered a workaround before developers rolled out a proper fix.

Bringing in preferred teammates from other platforms requires users to perform the following tasks:

• Open the Social tab
• Click Invite Friends from the Friends tab
• Got to Enter Activision Account to send an invite
• Then, enter the friend’s Activision ID
