  1. 1Open PlayBound and create or join a party.
  2. 2Add BombSquad as the party's game.
  3. 3PlayBound sets up dedicated server automatically.
  4. 4Launch. Everyone in the party connects to the same room with no manual setup.

Why there's no port forwarding

Most home connections can't accept inbound traffic, which is normally what breaks self-hosting. PlayBound Connect puts everyone in the party on one private network instead, so the host is directly reachable without opening anything on their router.
