I have been trying to join my friends game on PS4, and I am also using a PS4.
However we both can not joint each other's games. We both have PS plus we have both tried connecting to different internet networks along with trying my homes network we even both uninstall the game and delete all saved files and then reinstall the game. Unplugged and restarted the router for the internet. I even called my provider to assist with changing my network type multiple times to see if it would change anything.
All of this and no fix for the fact that we keep getting can not join world prompt.
We have assured everything is up to date software wise, and even hardware wise as well. Still no fix.
This is now clearly a bug and needs to be addressed.
