Link Party Features

Title Screen	Quest Counter

If you want to play with players on other platforms, enable Cross-Play from the options on the title screen and the quest counter that appears when you talk to Alma.

Take on Quests Multiple Times with Same Members

The Link Party continues even after returning from a quest. Unlike the usual multiplayer, you can take on multiple quests with the same members.

Invite Notifications Sent Automatically When Quest Starts

When a Link Party member starts a quest, an automatic invitation notification will be sent to the other members. You can view the invites from the invitation notification list in the menu. Select the notification you want to join and accept the quest.

Has Dedicated Link Party Chat and Voice Chat

During a Link Party, you can use a member-only chat and voice chat. It makes communication easier, so be sure to take advantage of it.

The Chat Can Be Filtered Using R3

You can access the chat from the Chat Log under the Communication menu. Press the R3 button and select Link Members to view only the chat within the linked party.

Switch Voice Chat Using L3

To use voice chat, go to the Voice Chat option in the Communication menu. You can choose which type between Quest Members and Link Members. Press L3 to switch to the Link Members chat.

Invite Players to Explore the Same Environment

With the Link Party, by linking with your party members and establishing an Environmental Link, you can invite them to your camp and explore the same hunting grounds together. Once you set up the Environmental Link, you can team up for a Field Investigation quest, where you'll be able to target the monsters found in that area.

Cannot Be Used Depending on Story Progress

You may not be able to join a Link Party if you haven't progressed the game as much as your friend. If that happens, progress the game first before trying again.

What is a Link Party?

Fixed Party That Can Consist of Up to 4 People

A Link Party is a multiplayer party that can have up to four players. If you join a Link Party, you can play the same quest together. Unlike a normal party, a Link Party will not disband after completing the quest.

You Can Form a Party With People Other Than Your Friends

You can form a Link Party as long as you know each other's Hunter ID. It is also possible to play a few quests together without becoming friends.

New Feature That Enables Crossplay

The Link Party is a new feature that enables multiplayer across different platforms, including PS5, Xbox, and Steam. Use Link Party if you want to play with someone on a different platform.
