How to Play Guild Wars 2 With Friends

Short answer

PlayBound gets you and your friends into Guild Wars 2 together — matching up the party and launching the game for everyone at once. Multiplayer itself, once you're in, runs entirely through Guild Wars 2'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 Guild Wars 2 as the party's game and launch together.
  3. 3From here, multiplayer runs through Guild Wars 2'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 Guild Wars 2 together in one click. It doesn't run Guild Wars 2's matchmaking, lobbies, or game servers — that stays exactly as Guild Wars 2 built it, unmodified. If something about multiplayer itself isn't working, that's a Guild Wars 2 question, not a PlayBound one.
