How to invite friends for co-op in Dying Light: The Beast

Now, with co-op unlocked, you can finally invite your friends to join you on your adventure. It must be noted that cross-platform co-op campaigns are currently not available in the game. If you want to invite friends, they must also be playing the game on the same platforms as you. So, essentially, if you are playing the game on PC, your buddies should also have the game installed on PC

With that set aside, here's a step-by-step guide to invite friends to your lobby:

First and foremost, complete the Safe Haven mission.
Open the main menu and proceed to locate the co-op option.
Here, open up the party menu, and press 'F' (or the respective button on your controller) to expand the Friends menu.
Proceed to invite them into your lobby.

Once your friends accept your request, they will spawn in your game.
