Friend Pass
The recently added Friend Pass allows players to invite friends to enjoy the cute chaos through Steam, with only one person needing to own Party Animals. The Friend Pass is only available on Steam, but Xbox players can send a cross-platform invite as long as their friend can play on Steam! Friends can download the Friend Pass version from the Steam store page at no cost. Once the player and friend have added each other as in-game friends, the full-version owner can invite their friend to join their team or lobby. The Friend Pass works for one friend at a time.
Players with the Friend Pass can load up the game, but they must receive an invite from a player with the full version to participate in Quick Matches and Custom Games. While Friend Pass players can level up and obtain in-game achievements as usual, any rewards and platform-specific achievements they earn will have to be unlocked within the full version of the game. If they buy the game later, all the rewards earned while playing with the Friend Pass will be immediately granted!
