Me and my friend can’t play together.

Hi Ethan reee





Greetings!



Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



Upon reading the description you have posted, it seems that you have an issue with Xbox wherein even after clearing out your MAC addresses both you and your friend can't play together when you play Xbox 360 games.



Let’s work together in finding the best solution to this issue.



For me to better understand the issue, I’d like to ask a few questions:



• When did this issue occurred?

• Can you specify which Xbox console you are currently using right now as well as the Xbox console your friend is using?

• What other initial troubleshooting steps have you already tried so far?





In the meantime, we would like you to check the information provided down below:

Set up multiplayer gaming in backward compatible games

When you're playing an Xbox 360 game on Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S, it's like you're on an Xbox 360 console. Xbox One and next-gen Xbox features such as Friends and Party don't interact with your game.

In an Xbox 360 game, you send game invites and start parties the way you would on Xbox 360: by using the Xbox Guide. Open the guide by pressing the View button  and the Menu button  at the same time, and then choose Friends or Party and follow the instructions.

In Original Xbox games, online features such as multiplayer and leaderboards don’t work on newer Xbox consoles. However, you can still use Xbox parties to chat while playing alongside others, in whatever game they’re playing.

If you have any problems finding your friends in your friends list while playing a backward compatible game, see:
