The Community tab on Tekken 8’s main menu figures heavily into confirming friends and maintaining your friends list. It’s from this menu that you can see your current friends list, which of your friends are online, who you’ve played against, and pending friend requests. Those last two are the most important. By tabbing over to the “Players you’ve played with” menu, you can get a look at the opponents you’ve come up against in any mode online. By highlighting a player you like and hitting the confirm button on them, you’ll bring up a menu where you can send them a friend request. It’s then up to them to accept it.

To accept a friend request, you’ll want to go all the way over to the far right tab, “Waiting for approval”. There, you’ll see the friend requests you’ve received and can confirm or deny them as you please.

Finally, you can also make and receive friend requests while in any Lobby or post-match screen. In lobbies, simply go up to the avatar of the player you want to interact with and hit the confirm button. Then you’ll pull up their player stats. From there, you can make a friend request. Post-match, you can cycle down to the Profile option, pull up their player stats similarly, and make a friend request. Either way, you’ll have to go to the Community menu to accept.

Now that you know how to add friends in Tekken 8, you should be able to enjoy more community features in the game. Be sure to check out our other Tekken 8 coverage for news, guides, and further updates.
