• Quick Match, Steam invites, and host handover fixes - 3 August 2026

  This update is about the hard part: filling a lobby. Quick Match One button on the main menu joins the lobby closest to starting, and creates one if nothing is open. Full and password-protected lobbies are skipped, so you never land in a game that cannot start. Friends A new Invite Friends button in the lobby. An invited friend drops straight into your lobby. Your Steam friends list now shows whether you are in the menu, in a lobby, or in a match. Waiting for players The lobby now shows how many more players are needed before the match can start. Tell Discord I'm waiting posts your lobby to the community Discord, and the post retires itself once the match starts, so nobody answers a ping for a game that is gone.
