XBOX PC app - Can't invite players in party to game. The option has disappeared.

Hey there

Has far has i understand it the companion app old name xbox app doesnt have party chat or notes for some things like game invites and party invites these are now done though game bar.

The app itsself is a compaion app for things like streaming too PC checking the store messages

Have one player start the game then invite the other person to a party. Once you have invited your friend to a party you will have an option in the pause menu to invite party to game, so once they join pause the game and there will be an option to simply
invite party to game.

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

recent player list and options to invite them are in game, in call of duty you press y and use the bumpers to scroll to recent players, its says invite to party but it is a game invite

Gonna have to agree here. Removing the choice for PC players to start a party is just a really stupid oversight, I can't even invite somebody to start a party.

To invite people I have to already be in somebody else's party.

Right-clicking a person in the social tab no longer shows the "Start Xbox One Party" option like it used to. Now it only shows "Start Voice Chat" (These are not the same things as most Xbox Ambassadors think they are)

I don't see the point in changing how an Xbox party works on PC. It's been this way since the 360, it works perfectly well, there's no point to change it.
