Xbox Reintroduces Friend Requests After 11 Years

Microsoft revives the feature for Xbox Insiders, offering enhanced control and flexibility in social connections.

Friend requests return to Xbox, allowing users to send, accept, or delete requests for a two-way relationship.
The feature is currently available to Xbox Insiders and PC Gaming preview members, with a full rollout planned.
Existing friends and followers will be updated automatically to reflect the new system.
New privacy settings will enable users to control who can send friend requests or follow their account.
Xbox also launched the Game Pass Standard plan and opened pre-orders for the all-digital Xbox Series X.
