PC Xbox app stopped showing party invites. Forcing us to use Windows Game Bar?

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

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.

Hello MattAustin1,

Thank you for your post. I understand you are experiencing an issue with invites for games obtained through the Xbox app. To send invites and join parties try using the Xbox Game Bar by pressing the Windows Button + G. For more information, please visit

I hope this information helps.

Hello,

Just to clarify you are talking about PC? If so are you on windows 10 or windows 11 and are you using the Xbox app or the Game Bar for parties?

Thanks,

I have the same issue, if I force quit the game bar and relaunch it then I invite someone who is a XBOX user it will work but if I add a PC user it does not work for them. Also, if I force quit the app and the xbox user invites me it does not work same
if the PC user invites me. The issue seems to be with the PC app.
