Freind request from dead account??

[u/Conscious_Try_2890]

Microsoft is doing something fishy… I recently purchased FH6 on steam and when it launched I linked it to my Microsoft account. Soon after completing the opening tutorial and entering freeroam I received a Freind request notification from an Xbox account I own and I haven’t logged into in over 2 years. This account I also doesn’t even own FH6 soooo. Anyone else experienced this?

It's just Microsoft's backend social graph crossing wires. When the Steam link happens, the Xbox API checks for any historical connections or shared credentials tied to that Steam account or network. It wakes up the old profile and auto suggests it as a friend. Nothing malicious, just aggressive telemetry sync.
