The best way to play Monster Hunter: World is with a group of friends, but on consoles, it can be tricky to link up with a friendly party. Fortunately, the PC port of Monster Hunter: World seems to use Steam groups to automatically create in-game squads.

In Monster Hunter, squads are the equivalent of guilds or clans in other games. Basically, they’re a way to connect with like-minded players. But on consoles, joining a squad can be tricky - you can’t search for them by name, and you need a personal invitation from the squad’s leader in order to get in. And that means you’ll need to be playing at the same time as the leader, in the same game session.

Destructoid’s Patrick Hancock has been playing the PC port of Monster Hunter: World, and he found that on PC, Monster Hunter: World looks at the Steam Groups you belong to and considers them as in-game squads, listing them exactly where you’d find the normal ad-hoc squads created in-game on the console versions of the game.

There’s a menu for selecting which group you want to set as your ‘primary’ group, and the group icon will appear next to your character’s name when you’re in the Gathering Hub. Since there’s no longer anything for her to do, the Squad Manager now just waves a welcome.
