EA’s latest epic dodgeball action game, Knockout City is finally out and has already hit the charts with a surprise. Within days after its release, the game is already hovering with over 2 million players and the numbers are still rising.
The game is also a true crossplay-enabled game, meaning you can play multiplayer with players from any platform at any time. The game is available on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. While an enhanced backward-compatible version of the game is available on the next-gen consoles — PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
The game is currently available for free till 30th May as part of a free trial for everyone to try out before buying. After the trial ends, the game will cost $19.99 — though if you have an EA Play or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, you’ll have access to the game even after the trial.
How to play Knockout City multiplayer with friends?
To play with friends, you first need to buy the game with a registered EA Origin ID. Download the game on the platform of your choice and boot up. Once you are in the game, it’s time to search for your unique id and add friends. Knockout City will automatically assign a unique id to every player using which you can add your friends and party up.
Open the Friends tab in Knockout City and enter your friend’s unique id. Once your friends are added, you can simply form a party from the main screen or join their party. Once you are in the party, the game will move you to a hideout where you can play and practice with your friends. The party leader can then choose between casual or competitive mode to start a game.
You can also complete challenges and tasks together in a party to earn rewards and customizations for your character.
