As gamers join a session, Beacon recalculates fit against the group already there, not just the person who lit it.

Find People to Play Games With
Stop rolling the dice with random teammates.
Looking for people to play with shouldn't mean posting "anyone on?" in five different places and hoping for the best.
Project Beacon helps you find gamers who actually fit how you like to play.
With Lit Beacons, you can see who's looking to play, join an upcoming gaming session, or light a Beacon of your own and let compatible gamers find you.

Looking for a Squad Tonight?
Sometimes you're looking for new gaming friends.
Sometimes you just want three people who are down to play tonight at 8.
That's what Lit Beacons are for.
A Lit Beacon is a gaming session created by someone looking for people to play with. It tells the community what you're playing, when you're playing and who you're looking for.
See one that sounds good? Join it.
Don't see one? Light your own Beacon.

LFG Without the Guesswork
Traditional LFG is great at answering one question:
"Who wants to play this game right now?"
But that doesn't necessarily tell you whether you'll actually enjoy playing together.
One player wants to sweat ranked all night.
Another wants to have a few drinks, laugh and doesn't care about their K/D.
Someone has a mic and wants constant communication. Someone else barely talks.
They're all technically looking for a group.
They're not necessarily looking for each other.
Project Beacon was built around that problem.
For a closer look at where gamers typically search and what each option is actually good for, see our guide on how to find people to play games with online.
The signature feature
Your Gamer DNA Comes With You
Lit Beacons aren't separate from the rest of Project Beacon.
They're connected to Gamer DNA.
Your Gamer DNA helps Beacon understand things that ordinary LFG posts don't tell you, including how you communicate, how competitive you are, the kind of gaming atmosphere you enjoy, and what you're looking for from the people you play with.
That means Beacon can help you look beyond:
"We both play Battlefield."
and start answering:
"Would we actually enjoy playing Battlefield together?"
The Beacon Path
Traditional LFG stops at "same game." Beacon keeps going.

The Group Changes. The Fit Changes.
Here's where Lit Beacons get particularly interesting.
A gaming group isn't just two people.
As gamers join a Lit Beacon, the compatibility of the group can change too.
Beacon can recalculate fit as the session fills, helping give you a better picture of how you may fit with the gamers already joining.
Because finding one compatible gamer is useful.
Finding a whole squad that clicks is better.
Find a Group Without Finding a New Best Friend First
There shouldn't be pressure attached to looking for people to play with.
Joining a Lit Beacon doesn't mean committing to a clan.
It doesn't mean adding somebody to every social account you have.
And it doesn't mean you're promising to play together every Tuesday for the next six years.
It means:
We're playing the same game.
We're available at the same time.
We might actually get along.
Let's play.
And if you do click?
That's where Beacon's connections come in.
Play Once. Connect When It Clicks.
Some Lit Beacons will simply be a great night of gaming.
Others might introduce you to someone you want to play with again.
Project Beacon is designed for both.
When you find gamers you click with, you can build those connections beyond a single session.
Over time, the goal isn't to keep sending you back into LFG forever. It's to help you build a circle of gamers where eventually you already know exactly who you want to message when it's time to play.

Find a squad tonight. Maybe find your squad for years.

Find People to Play With Across PC, Xbox and PlayStation
Great gaming friendships aren't limited to one platform anymore.
Project Beacon is built around gamers, not just hardware.
Whether you're playing on PC, Xbox, PlayStation or Nintendo, Beacon helps you find people around the games you actually play and the experience you're looking for.
As more games support cross-platform multiplayer, your next squad might not even be playing on the same system you are.
What matters is whether you want to play together.
