How to Play Albion Online With Friends

Short answer

PlayBound gets you and your friends into Albion Online together — matching up the party and launching the game for everyone at once. Multiplayer itself, once you're in, runs entirely through Albion Online's own service.

How PlayBound connects youParty presence and launch only — multiplayer is the game's own service

Step by step

  1. 1Open PlayBound and create or join a party.
  2. 2Add Albion Online as the party's game and launch together.
  3. 3From here, multiplayer runs through Albion Online's own service — invite friends, join lobbies, and matchmake the normal way.

What PlayBound does and doesn't do here

PlayBound helps you find your friends, form a party, and launch Albion Online together in one click. It doesn't run Albion Online's matchmaking, lobbies, or game servers — that stays exactly as Albion Online built it, unmodified. If something about multiplayer itself isn't working, that's a Albion Online question, not a PlayBound one.
