With the release of the Monster Hunter Rise PC edition, players are likely eager to invite their friends to complete Co-Op multiplayer quests and hunts. One of the best features that Monster Hunter Rise has on PC compared to its predecessor, Monster Hunter: World, is that there is a separation between the Co-Op missions and the single-player exclusive missions. This means that players no longer have to progress through checkpoints in their hunts and complete cutscenes before others can join them. All Co-Op quests in Monster Hunter Rise allow players and their friends to jump straight into the action, without any interruptions.

While the PC version of Monster Hunter Rise is based on the Nintendo Switch version, it has launched with all of the content updates that have been implemented to the Switch version of the game to date. This means that there are more opportunities for friends to play with one another in unique Co-Op quests in Monster Hunter Rise for PC than there were for the Switch version upon its launch in 2021. Though the game itself doesn't feature the same crisp art style of Monster Hunter: WorldMonster Hunter Rise on PC runs incredibly smooth when playing with others.

To play with friends or other players online in  Co-Op quests, a lobby must either be joined or created in the Monster Hunter Rise PC version. Speak with Senri the Courier in Karuma Village to select "Play Online" to initiate the online lobby, then select the "Friends List" to invite multiplayer Monter Hunter Rise players to the group. Alternatively, if the lobby is open then players can look through their Friends List menu and join on their own, as well as accept the invite. Lobbies can also be made private by setting an access code, but the code will need to be shared with anyone who plans on joining.

Once everyone is in the game lobby, head to the Gathering Hub in Monster Hunter Rise to select a quest from the Quest Board. The best quests to play Monster Hunter Rise in multiplayer Co-Op are the ones that reward valuable materials for either crafting or selling, like the Golden Egg in MHR that sells for 20,000 Zenny. All players will have to go to the Gathering Hub Quest Board and join the quest, but anyone who fails to join can join in progress if the team has already departed.

Through the same menus with Senri the Courier, anyone who doesn't have a group to play with can join other open lobbies for random players online in the Monster Hunter Rise PC edition. However, the only lobbies that PC players can join are those of other PC players, as Monster Hunter Rise does not feature any cross-play compatibility.
