How to Invite and Add Friends in FIFA 23 Using EA Social

The EA Social widget in FIFA 23 allows players to invite and add friends from other platforms!

FIFA 23 pushes the football game to new heights by including several new features that many players have requested.

The option to invite and add gamers from other platforms to your friend list is one of them. This is how!

To add your friends on EA Social, you’ll need to search for their EA ID from the “Player Seach” option using the following steps:

Press R2/RT from the Main Menu to access the EA Social/Friends Menu. From the PC, follow the on-screen prompt on the bottom right side of the screen.
If you receive an invite/request from another player, you’ll notice a notification on the bottom right of the screen that you can interact with with R2/RT.

Once in the EA Social menu, you’ll have access to the following options:

Any players with whom you are friends and who use the same platform as you will appear in the “Friends” area of EA Social.
You’ll need to go to the “Player Search” tab if you want to add players from other platforms.
You must enter the EA ID of the friend you want to add here. These are not case sensitive, but you must provide an exact match for them to appear.

When you add a player using their EA ID, you will see the following options on their name:
