To elaborate on that, you'll both need to activate crossplay in the menus. Then, one of you starts the game as host. Once it's running, you open the menu and at the bottom of the screen is an option for manage party. In there you can find the crossplay code.

You text that to your friend and from the main menu he goes to the coop menu. One of the options is "join session by code"
Select this option and type in the crossplay code and it should connect you.

If your friend doesn't have a computer to use steam voice chat, you should be able to download the PC version of the Xbox app and use Microsoft's party and voice chat.

How? When I give my friends on Xbox the code to join, it just says "Invitation by code has failed". We verified that it was the correct code.

Whenever I've ever had an issue with the code, it's always been something dumb like mistaking a 1 for a lowercase l or a 0 for an uppercase O

The other thing to try is if you're absolutely POSITIVE that the code is correct, make sure that each of you can join a random game.
Then try swapping who's hosting. Snowrunner has always been a bit flakey and I've had issues where I couldn't connect to friends on the same platform, (PS4) and issues where I could only connect if I host, but not if a specific friend hosted.

You could also each try restarting your router. That one's kind of grasping at straws, but I've had it work when I was having conntection issues.

We've both tried everything you listed, still says "invitation by code failed"

Seems like the next thing to try is for both of you to try and join the same game using the same code.
I send you a friend request. Accept it and we'll try and set it up using steam chat.

I think, becаuse the version of the game on the xbox is different, there was no update, I have the same problem, everything was fine before the update. I played on pc, friends on xbox

Depending on when you last looked, the version on the Xbox was absolutely updated. On gamepass it now shows X/S enhanced and it plays a LOT better on my Series X. Title screen is also the same as the PC, (the Tennesse map) and the steering bug mentioned in the patch notes has been fixed. (first thing I checked)
This has been as of May 31 at about 3:00 pm pst.
