BG3 Can’t continue an existing Private multiplayer game with friend. Does anyone know if...

Hello William, my name is Oskayra, happy to answer your question.

Based on the information you've provided, it sounds like the issue you're having is that you can't find or invite yourself to a private friend-to-friend game on Xbox.

On PC/Steam, you can continue an existing private multiplayer game by simply opening the in-game Multiplayer menu and selecting "Invite a Friend." However, on Xbox, it appears that you must first access the multiplayer menu on the home page. This will take you to a screen showing a list of all available multiplayer game rooms, both public and private.

To find a private game, you must select "Search rooms..." and then select your friend's game from the list. Once you have selected the game, you can join it.

This is probably because Xbox Game Studios and Larian Studios wanted to make sure that players could easily find multiplayer matches. By forcing players to access the multiplayer menu on the home page, Xbox Game Studios and Larian Studios can show players a list of all available matches, making it easier to find a suitable match.

As for your question about why Xbox Game Studios didn't help Larian Studios more with the multiplayer infrastructure, there is no definitive answer. Xbox Game Studios may not have wanted to interfere with Larian Studios' development. It's also possible that Xbox Game Studios didn't have the resources to help Larian Studios.

As for your question about whether Xbox Game Studios invested in Diablo IV's multiplayer infrastructure, they may have. However, there is no official confirmation of this.

As for your frustration with the current state of the game, it's understandable. It is a fantastic game with a story that many love. It's disappointing that the multiplayer isn't working as well as it could.

Sincerely,
Oskayra

No one knows yet about the multiplayer, but the page on xbox.com does say multiplayer 1-8, so it seems you can just create a private world and invite friends (hopefully).

anyone know how to get multiplayer? It says “go to Xbox.com to sign in to multiplayer and change the settings” but I can’t find the settings please help!

does anyone know if this will work for local private horde if connected to xbox live?

Does anyone know when this might be fixed? I'm trying to play with my friend, and he just got the new game, and I can't connect. Nothing's working. 100% everytime I try to do the multiplayer connection thing, so...
