Friend not showing up on friends list

@EA_Blueberry No

Which platform do you play on and what platform is your friend playing on?

One of the most common reasons why players aren't seeing their friends is because one person is playing on a Series X and the other is playing on a Xbox One. A series X can play with someone on a standard Xbox One, however it needs to be the Gen 4 version of the game on the Series X. The next gen consoles (PS5/Series X/S) have the option to download both versions of the game if the account has Dual Entitlement.

I play on the ps5 platform, the FIFA 22 version of the ps5, also my friend is also

Do you have notifications disabled? If so, try enabling them.

Are you able to invite your friend to a PSN party and then send them a game invite that way?

I recommend checking with your friend to make sure you are both playing on the correct version of the game together. Do you both have the Next Gen logo/Same box art for the game on your console?

Yeah we all activated the notifications and they're working, and yes i tried to get in a party with him and message him. We're sure we have the same version, console and same box art and update, everything.
