Issues with adding friends cross-platform in Dead by Daylight and possible reasons
There are several players’ complaints on Reddit, Steam community page, and other sites where players cannot add friends from other platforms. There are cases where a player from one platform sends a request to another on a different platform and the request cannot be accepted. The invites would arrive in the inbox but would only go away when rejected. Likewise, there are also cases where the invites are not received at all. This is an annoying issue that has no clear reasoning for it.
According to the information & complaints that are available online, the possible reason for this issue is the glitches and bugs in the game. Since the game is available on many platforms, bug fixes and patches take longer to arrive on all the platforms. There may be a problem on one platform that causes the invites to glitch out. There are currently no official solutions for this issue.
