Friends can be fun to play with, but sometimes you need your alone time and that’s perfectly valid. To appear offline in the game, all you need to do is change your Online Status setting to Away. This can be achieved on the main lobby screen.
The first thing you will need to do is to open the menu sidebar. This can be done by either clicking the menu icon in the top-left corner of your screen, or pressing the corresponding button if you’re using a controller. Click on your profile pic that appears at the top of the menu. You will now get to see all the options that are related to online play and privacy.
Look for Online Status, which should be near the top of the menu. You can change the status of your profile here by clicking on it. Simply change the ‘Online’ indicator to something else like ‘Away’ so that it looks like you’re not logged into the game. This will effectively stop you from appear in your friends’ online list. You will be able to play the game as usual.
Don’t forget to check out the rest of the Privacy settings in case there are other things that you’d like to tweak as well.
