Alternatively, you can achieve the same functionality on a Windows 10 PC or Windows 10 Mobile device using the built-in Xbox app.
Using the app:
- Find the app on your PC by typing "Xbox" into the Start Menu, or by searching through your app list on a Windows 10 Mobile device.
- Go to the settings section at the bottom of the hamburger menu, depicted as a cogwheel.
- Select Link Facebook account, and then enter your log-in details.
The Xbox One is set to get even more social in the future with the addition of Clubs, Arena and Looking for Group.
