OXT This should've been inplemented already just like it was on 360.


Exactly. The 360 had so many amazing features and most of them were at launch. The One will improve over time though I guess.

DeluxeHazard The ability to see who is in an Xbox Live party is what I really want to have.


This also is what I want, so I can see if its worth joining the party with certain people in it.


Telling me you can't see who's in a party on xbox anymore???


Don't think so on Xbox One or they wouldn't be adding this feature

You_Bleed_Jam I suggest fixing party chat before adding updates to it honestly..


I also agree with this a lot. I often find myself lagging out of parties and same with my friends. It has nothing to do with my connection.

CartierPosted:

I really cannot wait for the "see whos in a Party: See whos in a Party before joining" feature. We needed that.
