The problems with theXbox friends listsappear to be different from one user to the next. There are those who can’t see anyone on their friends list, with it appearing completely blank when they go to check. Others can see a few friends, but their full list of friends are invisible. Xbox has not provided any kind of reason for why this is happening, but speculation points to server issues of some kind.
Xbox Friends List Not Working
While it may be frustrating for some Xbox users that they can’t access their friends list, the good news is that Xbox Live in general appears to be fully operational. There have been times in the past whereXbox Live has gone completely down, making it so users were not only unable to access their friends list, but unable to play any games online as well. It seems as though Xbox gamers are able to play games online right now, even though they can’t see their full friends list.
We will update this article as soon as the Xbox friends list issues have been resolved.
