Is it possible to send a friend request on Xbox one to a PS4?

I'm playing Minecraft, and I want to send a friend request to my friend, but we play on different consoles.

Is it possible to send a friend request to them?

Solution 1:

As of this week this has changed. Minecraft is now cross platform!

Solution 2:

No, it is not possible to send a friend request to someone on a PS4 via Xbox.

It is unlikely that you will ever be able to add them as a friend via Xbox.

In the future, you might be able to add them as a Minecraft friend and play with them.

PS4 cross-play for Minecraft hasn't happened yet because it has been Sony's policy to not support cross-play with other platforms. However they have been under a lot of pressure to drop this policy, and have recently allowed Fortnite cross-play. This means that Minecraft cross-play might be around the corner.

It is possible to play Minecraft with friends between Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Android, and PC.
