Parties

Best Practices

Player Display and Highlighting

See the Player Display page for detailed requirements that are shared with other UI elements.

Party Sizes

We can’t actually limit the number of party invitations that are sent out via the platform software itself and Microsoft also requires that we don’t actual limit the number of invites sent from within the game, either. As such, the game should simply handle party size limitations on the joining side and show an error to players that attempt to join a party that’s at max capacity.

Relevant Cert Requirements: Xbox Party Invites, Xbox Party Full

Cert Requirements

Xbox

Party Invites: Microsoft requires you to be able to send more party invitations than the max number of players allowed in a party.

Party Full: Microsoft requires that any players that attempt to join beyond the max number allowed in a party should be shown an error.
