Are you an avid gamer and looking to inflate your gaming system? You must be at the right spot; in this guide, you will learn how to add Xbox friends on PS5.
PlayStation, Sony, and Microsoft Xbox platforms have their platform-centric games that are playable on both platforms. So, it is ideal to add your buddies regardless of the platform as long as the video games support cross-platform play. However, adding your friends while playing cross-platform is different for every game.
How to Add Xbox Friends on PS5

Troubleshooting Problems on PS5
Are you having issues when adding Xbox friends on the PlayStation 5 platform? To sort out the issue, you have to do these simple troubleshooting steps.
