To add Xbox friends to Ubisoft PC, you need to link your Xbox account to your Ubisoft account, which allows you to connect with players across all platforms, and then search for your Xbox friends in the Ubisoft Connect friends list. By linking your accounts, you can enable cross-play and cross-progression, allowing you to play with your friends on different platforms, including Xbox, and share your progress across all platforms.
Understanding Cross-Play and Cross-Progression
Cross-play gives you the ability to play with your friends even if they are on a different platform to you, while cross-progression allows you to play the game on one platform and continue your progression on another, as long as you have the same Ubisoft account linked to all your platforms.
