Adding friends on Warzone and MW3 can be confusing, but if you know where to look, it's easy to do within the game. While you can play these titles solo, the full gaming experience is best enjoyed with friends. Playing with friends allows for better strategies, effective communication, and an overall elevated experience. Both Warzone and MW3 have a dedicated Social feature for adding friends, which can be a bit complicated.

This article will simplify the process of how to add friends in both titles, regardless of the platform.
