How to fix error code 106 on Roblox
This xbox error can be frustrating but it should be a quick fix in Roblox.Are you facing Roblox Error Code 106 while trying to join a friend’s game on Xbox? Don’t worry—you’re not alone! This error can be frustrating, but it’s actually tied to how Roblox and Xbox handle friend connections.
The fix? It’s as easy as making friends!
What does Roblox error code 106 mean?
Roblox Error Code 106 happens when you’re trying to join a friend’s game on Xbox, but you’re blocked because you’re not fully connected as friends on both Roblox and Xbox Live.
Here’s why this happens: when playing Roblox on Xbox, there are two different friend lists:
- Roblox friends list – friends you add using their Roblox username.
- Xbox Live friends list – friends you add using their Xbox gamertag.
To join a friend’s game on Xbox, you need to be friends on both lists. If you’re friends on just one of them (either Roblox or Xbox), Roblox won’t let you join, and error code 106 pops up.
When you try to join your friend’s game, Roblox checks if you’re friends on both Roblox and Xbox Live. If you’re missing the friend connection on either platform, Roblox blocks the game session.
It’s basically Roblox saying, “I don’t see you as full friends across the board, so I can’t let you join this game.”
You’ll usually see this error if:
- You’re friends on Roblox but not on Xbox Live.
- You recently added a friend on one platform but forgot to add them on the other.

Why do Roblox and Xbox have separate friend lists?
Xbox Live handles friendships at the console level, which means Xbox wants to control who you can interact with on its platform. Roblox, on the other hand, has its own friend system that works across all platforms (PC, mobile, Xbox), so the two don’t automatically sync.
That’s why you need to manually add your friends on both Roblox and Xbox Live to make sure everything works smoothly.
