Cant start matchmaking. Says im not party leader but I'm playing solo

Same issue for me since launch. 

It can be reproduced every time without fail - just put the console into rest mode whilst the game is open, then wake the console up. After the usual errors about losing connection, try to start matchmaking and it will state that only the party leader can select the experience.

I have to manually close and reopen the game every time I play, which does add friction to the experience. I hope this can be fixed or at least acknowledged.

This is my exact experience! And yep it can be consistently reproduced using those same steps

Same issue on PS5

Same problem since launch. It's not a big deal, but still a little annoying

Still present as of November 26 2025

Same continuous issue here on PS5 on December 6, 2025
