How to Invite Friends in Shift At Midnight

First confirm that everyone belongs to the same compatible platform pool.

EVIDENCE-AWARE / ENGLISH / REVIEWED

Steam players need a Steam lobby; Xbox and PC Game Pass players use the Xbox-compatible pool. Steam cannot join the Xbox/Game Pass pool. The reviewed public sources do not document an exact in-game button sequence, so this guide does not invent menu labels.
