Couch Co-op Gorups Broken

When playing couch co-op (CC), you are unable to invite other people to join you. My wife and I can not join our other friends who are on PS5 as well. Everyone in the social menu shows offline during CC. I can individually join an induvial on PS5, but nobody doing CC can join anyone else.

To clarify... Couch Co-op is turning off the ability to party with others. Previous league couch co-op could join others and party together.
