Friends Becoming friends

After another user accepts your Friend request, you become Friends.

  • You can also become Friends with someone using a PS TV system, PS3™ system, or PS4™ system. The Friend request will be sent to all devices the Friend's account is used on.
  • A maximum of 2,000 friends can be added.
  • In some applications and games, a maximum of 100 friends are displayed.
  • If you have more than 100 friends, you must sign out and then sign in again to update the friends who are displayed in games. When doing this, also sign out of all other devices that you are signed in to PlayStation™Network on.
