# recipients

The players to invite to the match.

```
var recipients: [GKPlayer]? { get set }
```

## Discussion

If this property is non-`nil`, GameKit invites the specified players. GameKit doesn’t use automatch to fill player slots, and ignores the [`maxPlayers`](/documentation/GameKit/GKMatchRequest/maxPlayers) and [`minPlayers`](/documentation/GameKit/GKMatchRequest/minPlayers) properties. The default value is `nil`.
