Escape From Tarkov may have released a few years ago, but it has only recently become popular following some events on Twitch this past weekend. The first-person shooter is pretty hardcore, but it can be a lot of fun with friends. So that you can jump into the intense action with some buddies, here’s everything you need to know about how to play with friends in Escape From Tarkov.

Then, you’ll see a little box appear that has a search bar in it. Type the names of the friends you want to add in there and send off invites to them once you’ve found them.
