Friends List Not Working In Fallout 76
This article is over 2 years old and may contain outdated information.

Since co-op gameplay is a central element ofย Fallout 76, a Friends List full of online acquaintances and real-life companions is something many Vault Dwellers will build up over their time in Appalachia, West Virginia. Those familiar with the game’s launch in October 2018 will know that the experience used to be extremely rough, to the point of being unplayable for many. However, the game has undergone massive improvements yet still contains glitches, bugs, and errors that trouble players up until today. One such issue is the Friends List not working for adventurers, causing them to be unable to invite and play with their mates in Appalachia.

Fixing Friends List Not Working in Fallout 76

Using the Social Tab in the Main Menu of Fallout 76

One of the best ways to fix the issue with the Friendsย List not working inย Fallout 76ย is by using the Social Tab in the Main Menu to find one’s friends. In other words, you need to ensure you are not in-game when adding or checking for other players on your Friends List.

The solution above was used by YouTuberย Koda, who attempted a fix for the problem with the Friends List not working inย Fallout 76ย in Dec 2018. According to sources atย Gamer Tweak, this fix is still relevant in February 2023. The official Help section atย Bethesda.netย also encourages users to “go into the Social Menu to the Recent Players tab and select any player in the List before canceling out and returning to the Friends tab.” Restarting is also a potential solution for this problem, as the Friends List might be working after players boot the game back up. Bethesda.net states that the sync between your Friends List on the platform you are playing and theย Fallout 76ย Friendsย List might take longer than expected, so patience is required.

Another way to ensure that nothing is hindering you from seeing friends on your Friends List inย Fallout 76ย is by checking for any restrictions that have been put into place in your settings. For instance, allowing Friends to be able to “See you’re online” or “See your game and app history” is required for having them appear in your Friends List. Finally, make sure that there is no ongoing maintenance at Bethesda by checking theirย Server Status Pageย or theirย official Twitter account.ย 

Fallout 76ย is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
