Microsoft is phasing out peer-to-peer voice connections between players, in order to improve security for Xbox Live users.
A Reddit user warned (https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/jgo9u3/with_rainbow_six_siege_now_on_gamepass_heres_a) Xbox players to refuse "random party invites" in Rainbow Six Siege, which was recently added to Game Pass.
"Players can DDOS your network through this using your IP address if you join," the Reddit user said, as reported by Pure Xbox (https://www.purexbox.com/news/2020/11/xbox_is_making_changes_to_party_chat_to_improve_yo ur_online_safety).
Xbox engineer Bill Ridmann responded to the issue, saying that Microsoft is aware of the problem and is already taking steps to fix it.
