While the developer has released some crucial bug fixes and improvements in the NBA 2K26 Gen 9 patch notes v1.2, they could not include a fix to the Crossplay invite menu (L1+L2) in this update. You can use PSN/XBL or Squad Finder in the meantime to solve this problem.

We suggest waiting for the patch notes before the Season 2 update for the broader fixes and improvements, as the upcoming notes are expected to apply permanent fixes to some other recurring issues to enhance one's gameplay experience.
