How to Fix Roblox Error 106

Xbox Friend Requirements

"Xbox Friends Only Error"

LOW Active XBOX

Fixes verified Apr 2026

Error 106 occurs on Xbox when you try to join a game that requires you to be friends with another player, or when your Xbox privacy settings prevent you from joining games with non-friends. This is a common issue for Xbox players trying to join friends through server links or follow them into games. The error is tied to Xbox's privacy system, not Roblox's own friend system.

Quick Fixes

  • Add the other player as a friend on both Xbox and Roblox
  • Update your Xbox privacy settings to allow playing with non-friends
  • Enable cross-platform play in Xbox settings
  • Try joining the game directly from the Roblox game page instead of following a friend
  • Restart your Xbox after changing privacy settings

Causes & Solutions

Some Roblox games on Xbox require the players to be Xbox friends (not just Roblox friends) to join each other's server. If you are trying to follow someone into a game and they are not on your Xbox friends list, you will get this error.

Add the player as an Xbox friend

Xbox
  1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide
  2. Go to People and search for the player's Xbox gamertag
  3. Select their profile and choose 'Add friend'
  4. Wait for them to accept the friend request
  5. Once you are Xbox friends, try joining the game again

Join the game directly instead

Xbox
  1. Open Roblox on your Xbox
  2. Search for the game by name in the Roblox search bar
  3. Click the Play button to join a public server
  4. This bypasses the friend requirement since you are joining a public server directly
  5. Once in the game, your Roblox friend can join your server
