This Tekken 8 guide explains how to add friends in-game, including crossplay.

Tekken 8 is arguably the best the series has ever been – we certainly think so. It has lots of exciting content for players to experience, including an action-packed story mode and fun Arcade Quest.

Naturally, once you’ve got the hang of things, you’ll want to take the action online. Thankfully, Tekken 8‘s online modes are also excellent.

It includes crossplay, meaning you can fight players on other platforms if you choose to have the feature enabled. You can also build an exclusive Tekken 8 friends list, just for the players you meet in the Fight Lounge and during online battles.

This is a great way of keeping in touch with players that you encounter and have fun with. However, the game doesn’t actually explain how to add friends in Tekken 8.
