Nintendo Switch - Can't do Free Roam in group?

I bought the Nintendo Switch version thinking that I could do the PVE Free Roam regions like Town Center with my friends.  However, when we group up in Giddy Park and then try to go to Town Center, it says "Unable to do this activity while in a group".  I can't make private matches with my group either.  Have these features been disabled in the Switch version?  If so, the description on the main store page is very misleading!

  • @pwndog1 Just found this out too. There's no way to play the Explore modes in multiplayer. Some of the challenges are next to impossible because of this. Good luck doing the Mount Steep Ops challenge as Rose because they made no effort to balance it for solo play. Some rewards are gated behind their completion too so it's not an easy thing to ignore. Something needs to be changed there, it's absolutely horrendous the way it is now.
  • The Switch version is touted as the "Complete Edition" but not its not feature complete!  We want Coop PVE Free Roam!

  • I am glad this was brought up. I had this same problem as well. I want to play with my online group of 4 but cannot do the free roam regions nor any private matches.

    If we cannot play private matches with our friends, then what is that feature even for?

    I know that currently on the Switch Edition, unlike other platforms, you cannot do free-roam regions in a group, however hopefully as the game has recently been released on the Switch, there will be an update patching this.
