| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------- | --------------------- |
| No current scenario.                                                                                                                                                                                         | Not Relevant (-4) |                       |
| No current scenario.                                                                                                                                                                                         | Very Minor (1)    |                       |
| No current scenario.                                                                                                                                                                                         | Minor (2)         |                       |
| The title doesn't immediately transition the user into a game session, but does so when the user returns to the main menu/a previous menu and no messaging or notification is provided.                      | Moderate (6)      | XBOX One, XBOX Series |
| The title doesn't inform the user that they must return to the main menu/a previous menu in order to enter the multiplayer session.                                                                          | Moderate (6)      | XBOX One, XBOX Series |
| The title doesn't complete an invite sent via in-game. The invited user remains in the same game area and no clear error messaging is displayed.                                                             | Critical (12)     | XBOX One, XBOX Series |
| The title takes the user to the main menu when accepting a game invitation sent via in-game and no messaging/notifications are displayed to help the user to join the game session.                          | Critical (12)     | XBOX One, XBOX Series |
| The title doesn't display a system toast when a game invitation has been received.                                                                                                                           | Critical (12)     | XBOX One, XBOX Series |
| A multiplayer game doesn't support the ability to send an invite via in-game functionality where expected (generally where the 'Join' option is available in the Friends list, see test case 064-01/064-02). | Catastrophic (22) | XBOX One, XBOX Series |

**Notes**

* This XR is for the implementation of in-game invites, not invites sent via the guide.
* Cross-platform PC ↔ XBOX invitations may be optionally supported by the title.
* Timing: Wait until publisher/legal screens start appearing during the initial boot before accepting an invite. Accepting an invite isn't expected to work before this point (during the splash screen).
* Game design may dictate that pre-conditions are met before allowing multiplayer (for example, playing a tutorial first).
* Game design may allow in-game server region switching. The invite must work regardless.
* If the title takes the user to the main menu when accepting a game invite, the title must provide sufficient messaging/notifications to help the user enter the game session. For example, the game boots to IIS where a 'Press A' prompt is displayed. This is only valid if there's an option to then proceed into the game session without requiring a new invite.
* Suggested probability of 4. Increase/decrease where it's felt appropriate to do so (for example, depending on game area/mode).
