New to pc gaming and finding friends

[SeanyBee90]

Hi there, 

 

I'm less then two weeks away from building my first ever rig, exciting times! 

 

Only thing is most of my friends are on PlayStation, where is the best place to hook up and find friends online? now before some of you start asking "we'll why did you come away from PlayStation then!?" I think as most of us on here are pretty big fans of pc gaming and what it stands for you already know the answer

start by playing games and trying to find people you think you can get along with and just see if they want to play, also join discord and join some channels with people that stream, they usually have a "looking for group" or "LFG" channel you can post in and find people to play with

Well, depending on what games you play it may be easy or more difficult to find a lasting online friend but generaly, you should be able to get to know people just by playing online and actually communicating with the players during the game. Eventually, you will find someone that will like to play with you.

 

If you are trying to find a friend with which you can share your SinglePlayer experiences... well, that may be more difficult.

 

Personaly, I find it easier to find people to play with directly in the game. When we get to know each other better then we usually start to play other games together as well.

I built my first rig back in summer and I'm super proud of it. Anyways, I only play with friends I know personally for the most part. You can search for Discord communities or look on Reddit I think though. Good luck building!

I'm sure you got friends on Playstation just the same, but keep that mic on. Communicate with your team. If you're playing a competitive multiplayer game like Apex, PUBG, Fortnite, COD, I would recommend keeping the small talk on the back burner and focus on callouts and the game. Then from that "teamwork" relationship, you can casually build a friendship out of it in between games. I know it sounds real technical and analytical, but it all really comes down to how you and others mesh. Ultimately, have fun!

Tbh, a lot of online games on PC have clans and the like anyways, so when you get some games, join one of those for people to play with.

i don't think any of us are going to interrogate you about why you changed platforms.

if you play TF2, Overwatch, The Division 1/2, Destiny 2, GTA V, etc (it's a very long list), then you can feel free to shoot me a friend request and we can see if we get along.
