Your LIVE friends list is exactly what it sounds like: a list of your friends who are members of Games for Windows - LIVE. You also can see your Xbox LIVE friends here. After you set up your friends list, you'll see the same list no matter which game you play. You build your list by sending and accepting friend requests. You can have up to 100 friends on your list at a time.
You can check up on each other, send each other invites, and play the same games whenever you like. You can also set up private games from your friends list.
To send a friend request
- On your PC, start your game. Press the Home key on your keyboard to open the Guide.
- Sign in to LIVE and select Friends.
- Select Add Friend.
- Enter a player's gamertag and select Submit.
- To send a voice mail, select Add Voice.
- You need a microphone or a headset to send a voice mail. For info, see Messaging.
- Select Send Request.
Your friends on the Web
When you link your gamertag to Xbox.com and sign in to the My Xbox Web site, you'll see your friends list and be able to immediately identify who's online and what they're playing. You'll also see whether you've got any pending game invites or friend requests.
