Xbox Friend Requests Are Finally Coming Back
For the first time since the Xbox 360 days, Xbox users will be able to send and receive friend requests. The announcement was made via a blog post on the official Xbox website, which provided more details.
"Beginning this week, starting with Alpha Skip-Ahead users on Xbox consoles, and users that have joined the PC Gaming preview on Windows PCs and handheld devices, Xbox Insiders will be able to preview an updated friends and followers experience!" the post reads. "With updated relationships, and new privacy and notification settings, you can start managing your social experiences with Xbox just the way you like, from any device."
We’re re-introducing friend requests!
— Xbox (@Xbox) September 11, 2024
You will be able to send, accept, or delete friend requests, in addition to following or being followed by others.
We are testing with Xbox Insiders now and look forward to sharing more later this year on a full rollout. pic.twitter.com/dQCNEtGBtk
