Party's on pc

[quote user="EIDOS Khris"]I mainly pay for this service to use the party chat, something that is actually free on PC.[/quote]Well to be fair Party Chat can be replicated with things such as SKYPE but actual Party Chat over LIVE is not available on the PC.

You can Private Chat between the 360 and PC but if you can't join a Party on your PC.

Hi,

The best way is to use the the game bar or the xbox companion app but you need to install them through the microsoft store

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.
