A pop-up will appear telling you co-op is now available, and you can invite people to play with you there and then. Alternatively, open the menu and go down to Social. Here you'll see friends who are online, that you can invite to join your session.

If you don't want to jump into a multiplayer session as soon as the option unlocks, you can do it later on at any time from the options menu. Scroll down to Online, then you can adjust the Game Type, which will affect the visibility of your game session.

The options here are:

  • Single Player
  • Public - allowing anyone to discover your session
  • Invite Only
  • Friends Only

If you'd rather not host a session, then you can always join a game from the Main Menu. Go to Join Game, where you'll be able to see who from your friend list is online or you can choose Quick Join and jump into a multiplayer session with absolutely anyone!
