Illustrated Party and exit controls

Stop following in Companion Mode

Use the available Exit control to end the Companion interaction and check that shared movement stops. Leaving the party also exits Companion Mode for that member.

Moving away can be temporary. The game’s help text says you rejoin the guide when you stop controlling your character. To leave entirely, use the Party exit steps above.

Leave a friend’s Home

A Home visit, a party and Companion Mode can have separate controls. Open the map or Home interface and use the travel or return option your client offers. A single cross-platform Home-exit shortcut is not confirmed here.

Check that your destination is your own Home or the location you selected. If shared movement continues, end Companion Mode; if you also want to leave the group, use Party exit.

Find friends and form a party

  • Agree on a server before building progress. On PS5, check which server your PSN region selects.
  • Open the main menu and choose Friends. Use the add-friend area and your friend’s UID; the English PC footage shows the UID at the bottom right of the game screen.
  • Open Party from the main menu and use an empty + slot to arrange your group. Your friend needs to respond to the invitation in their client.
  • Select an available challenge target before starting: the Party screen warns that a target is required.

These steps use the English PC menus; controller buttons may differ. Check the activity’s unlock requirement and progress-sharing rules before you start.

Travel together in Companion Mode

Open your friend’s player interaction panel and choose Companion Mode to send an invitation, or Ask to Join Companion to accompany them. Since the September 23 update, you no longer need to stand face-to-face to send a Companion invitation.

Once your friend accepts, check that Companion Mode is active. Rare resources gathered by a player are shared with party members in the Companion state. Story quests and teleport unlocks still need their own checks.

Companion Mode menu example

Confirm you joined the intended activity

  • After sending an invitation, have the other player check and respond in their client; sending it is not confirmation that they joined.
  • Before starting, check the names shown in Party and the selected challenge target. Use that activity’s member limit, not the maximum from a store listing.
  • For Companion Mode, confirm that you are travelling together and that the Exit control is available. Check each player’s own quest or reward screen before assuming progress was shared.

Use Party for a supported challenge and the player interaction panel for Companion Mode. Friends-list membership by itself is not an active session.
