    Party & game invites go to PC Xbox App!?


    I have dual screen so using the Xbox App on my PC is alot faster to send messages / ask for invites & etc.

    But, recently everytime someone invites me instead of it popping out on my Xbox One S it pops out on my PC and joins the party on the PC instead of the system.

    Same with game invites it goes to PC and says, can't locate the game.

    Any help?

    :)

    The party system is done through the Xbox Party app. You can go to the Party app from "My Games and Apps" or just say "Xbox Snap Party" and to start one up and invite people. Boot up Ghosts with your party and they'll join games with you, I believe.

    Thought I'd post another work around for this issue that I've just come across..

    For this you will need to have a Windows 10 PC or Laptop nearby but with this setup you won't need a chat cable from the controller to the MixAmp which I felt was a good positive.

    Basically I've connected the MixAmp Pro to my Windows 10 PC via the USB power supply, then connected the optical cable to the Xbox One as usual, on the PC launch the Xbox App and then invite friends to Party via the App (invites go to their Xbox) once in the party you can do everything as normal having Dolby Digital sound from your Xbox One to the headset as well as the Xbox Party Chat with no cable to the controller.

    Obviously using this method on the PC you could also use Discord/Skype chat if you prefer but if your friends just use Xbox Party Chat then this is a solution I hadn't previously thought of.

    Hopefully someone else will find it helpful too Party & game invites go to PC Xbox App!? :)

    I dont get party invites on my Xbox game bar - PC VERSION

    Xbox companion app is discontinued, and the "Party Invitations" and "Games" notification settings are nonexistent in the Xbox PC app. Settings for invites and messages are all on the Game Bar app for PC.

    You'll just have to make sure these settings are checked after reinstalling the game bar @ (Game Bar)Settings>Notifications>Xbox Social>Notify me when I'm invited to a party or multiplayer game

    no notificacions in the xbox app

    If you have the latest update, then party invites don't go to the Xbox Console Companion app anymore, and they go straight to the Game Bar. Same for party chat on the PC.

    To access the Game Bar, just press the Windows button and G at the same time, you should be able to see your invites there.

    IP address hacking

    Be careful who you join parties with, they cannot find your IP on the console but if you join a party, they can load the party onto a PC using the xbox app and then they can use software on the PC to find your IP address. So if you make someone mad in
    a game, do not accept a party invitation right away.
