Microsoft has confirmed that the Xbox One will offer an expanded friend list compared to the Xbox 360. Answering questions on Twitter, the Xbox Support account revealed that Xbox One will let users store up to 1,000 people on their friend list.
Speaking with Polygon, Microsoft’s Marc Whitten added that “you’ll see us pulling friends from across other social experiences”.
For example, Xbox One could add friends from a user’s Facebook account, which would likely require more friend list spots than the Xbox 360’s 100-friend limit allows.
Announced yesterday (May 21), Xbox One – described as an all-in-one “ultimate home entertainment system” – will be launched later this year.
Microsoft has confirmed that while Xbox One won’t require an always-on connection, there will be a fee to play used games.
