Granblue Fantasy: Relink may not be a true MMO in the most traditional of senses, but it’s still a game I’d want to play with my friends. If you’re getting the Matchmaking not working error when you’re trying to play online, here’s what you can do.

If you’re getting the Matchmaking not working screen, the very first thing you have to do is see if your game needs to be updated. This was the case with me. Multiplayer issues are server issues that most developers fix quickly. You just need the patch that, well, patches it.

If you have the latest version of the game and it’s still showing you the error, here are a couple of things you can do:

  • Check your internet connection. If the issue is not on Cygames’ end, it’s on yours. Make sure your connection is stable and try again.
  • Restart the game. If you’ve been playing the game for a game, the memory can get “clogged” and result in the error. Restart the game and refresh it. If there is no real issue, it should allow you to play online.
  • Wait for Cygames to patch it. Follow Granblue Fantasy: Relink on Twitter/X and see if there is a network issue they're trying to work around. If there is one, wait for them to release a patch for it.
  • Assess your NAT type. If you’re playing on a console, this could be the root of your issue. Network Address Translation (NAT) type error is a network issue that prevents you from grouping up with other users. If your NAT type is not compatible with the people you’re connecting with, it could cause a matchmaking error. If you have manual IP addresses and DNSes set up, you can try resetting those to default and matchmake again.

Unfortunately, the solution for NAT type errors varies because of many things, from the console you’re on to the router and modem that you use. It even involves moderating specific things we don’t recommend you touch unless you know what you’re doing.
