Support got back to me saying they will be investigating. That was a week ago though.

This doesn't work if they are crossplay

But if they were on another console how would they be on your friends list in the first place?

You can add friends on other consoles through the friends list in game. Thats why this is really bad for us who play with friends through crossplay. Our only way to play is the in game friends list.

Looks like its just a PlayStation problem. If your friends are on a different console there's not much you can do. I've posted a workaround that works for me in the other threads but its hit or miss.

This only works if youre not playing with a friend whos on a different console

I've managed to get my friends list to show using a couple methods. Everyone shows as offline, but it shows up and I can send/receive invites.
1 - Restore Licenses in PS5 settings
2 - Disconnecting/Reconnecting from the Internet in the PS5 settings while in game

They don't always work on first try, but after trying them both (mostly number 2) repeatedly the friends list shows up.

I tried this repeatedly and couldn't get my friend list to pop up

It takes some repetition but eventually it works for me

Its currently broken along with people not seeing their friends list in game anymore. Not sure when it'll be back.

Mine came back for a little while yesterday with everyone showing as "Offline". Was able to play a couple of matches with friends yesterday. Today they are gone again.

None found yet. There's a couple of other threads here about it happening to others since the update https://forums.theshow.com/topic/63835/friends-list-disappeared

A fix that worked for me was inviting via playstation’s quick menu. I’m on ps5 and if you go to game base on PS menu then click on the friend you want to join, you can click the little square with a controller logo in the middle and it allows you to invite to co-op in that menu.

Absolutely the only fix. Restoring licenses worked once but this way is the best way by far.

Unfortunately that won't work to invite friends on other consoles though

I've tried so many things to fix this today and nothing works. It may be the update. I'm on PS5 and I'm using cross progression.

Mine is doing this as well. I have no idea why it's happening.
