Xbox has revamped its approach to forming connections on its gaming platform. The new method mirrors that of other social platforms, where users can send friend requests that may be accepted or denied.
In the past, Xbox took a more passive stance on friendships in the console generation. Users could add another Xbox account to their follow list, and if both accounts followed each other, they became friends.
The recent change will not have a significant impact on players’ social interactions. Existing friendships will remain intact, while non-mutuals will continue to follow each other. This allows users to stay updated on individual updates, clubs, and games within the Xbox ecosystem.
Additionally, Xbox is introducing new privacy and notification options to help users manage their friendships effectively. Players can now control who is allowed to follow them and receive notifications accordingly.
