Finding a friend or locating your own lost profile on the Xbox network is a straightforward process, whether you are using a console, a mobile device, or a PC. Since Microsoft transitioned to a modernized naming system, understanding how to search for unique IDs and suffixes is key to finding the right person.

Lost your console or signing in on a new device? If you remember the email associated with the account but not the Gamertag itself, Microsoft has a tool for this.

Windows App: Open the "Xbox" app, click the Social tab in the sidebar, and use the search bar at the top of the friend list.
