“Play Again” in Multiplayer

• After each match, all Players – or, specifically, solo Players and designated Party Leaders – on the same team can opt to stick together for the next match.

Friend Recommender

• Built for those looking to find new squadmates, Friend Recommender works in two ways:
  • Suggesting Friends of Friends, a helpful feature for the whole squad to get connected with one another.
