How to Play DC Universe Online With Friends

Short answer

PlayBound gets you and your friends into DC Universe Online together — matching up the party and launching the game for everyone at once. Multiplayer itself, once you're in, runs entirely through DC Universe 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 DC Universe Online as the party's game and launch together.
  3. 3From here, multiplayer runs through DC Universe 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 DC Universe Online together in one click. It doesn't run DC Universe Online's matchmaking, lobbies, or game servers — that stays exactly as DC Universe Online built it, unmodified. If something about multiplayer itself isn't working, that's a DC Universe Online question, not a PlayBound one.
