How to Fix Sea of Thieves Can’t Invite Friends Issue
Regrettably, at the time of writing this guide, we have not come across any official words or methods to get rid of this issue where players are unable to invite their friends to Sea of Thieves. However, we have provided a few potential solutions which you can try to resolve this issue.
1. First of all, restart your game as well as your Xbox console because sometimes a simple restart can help to fix connection-related issues. If this quick trick doesn’t help, try the following methods.

For this: Go to your Xbox Live account settings and select “Privacy & online safety”, under “Xbox Live Privacy”, make sure to set “Allow” following both options:
– Join multiplayer games
– You can communicate outside of Xbox Live with voice and text
3. If you are experiencing this issue on your Xbox then make sure your NAT type is set to Open. For this: Go to My Games & Apps >> Settings & Network >> Current Network Status >> Test NAT.
4. If that doesn’t help to resolve this issue, make sure your internet connection is fast and stable. If it has any issues, there are multiple methods you can try to troubleshoot your internet connection-related issues such as:
– Try using a different WiFi (If available)
– Try resetting your router or modem by unplugging the power cable from the router/modem, waiting for about 2 to 3 minutes, reconnecting the power cable, and checking if that worked
– Switch your connection of WiFi to Wired/Ethernet
– Disconnect other devices from the network to improve the speed and performance of your gaming device as well as game
