To request to join someone on Xbox, navigate to the 'Friends' tab on the Xbox home screen. Find the friend you want to join and select their profile.

Ensure your privacy settings allow you to join friends and that the friend’s session is open to invitations.
FAQs & Answers
- How can I enable my privacy settings on Xbox to join friends? To enable your privacy settings on Xbox, go to the 'Settings' menu. From there, navigate to 'Account', then 'Privacy & online safety'. You can customize your settings to allow friends to join your game sessions.
- What if I can't see the 'Join' option next to my friend's status? If the 'Join' option is not visible, it may be because the friend's game session is not open to invitations, or your privacy settings do not permit joining their session. Check both your and your friend’s settings.
- Is there a way to join a game without sending a request? Typically, you need to send a request to join a game on Xbox. However, if you are in the same party or if the game session allows it, you may be able to join without a request.
- Can I join a game with players who are not on my friends list? You cannot join a game directly with players not on your friends list unless the game allows open invitations or you are in the same party. You may request to add them as friends first.
