  • Konata990 Jonah.N (@Konata990) reported

    @Spyro105G because kingdom hearts 1 and 2 are really old games yet mentioned that the cloud version is based off of the ps3 versions, fortnite cannot be allowed to be on the ios store and this xbox service is the only way to play fortnite on ios.

  • CapalotJuicy Kay (@CapalotJuicy) reported

    @XboxSupport Yeah its weird I've tried multiple accounts t launch a free game which they all own (Fortnite) and it just says the person who owns the game needs to sign in, thank you for your help!

  • Failing_Saucy Sauxy 🫠 (@Failing_Saucy) reported

    @sinninghuman @FortniteGame @Xbox So it looks like xbox is having some issues I guess. Glad it’s not just me…

  • Justcam131 JustCam1313 (@Justcam131) reported

    @MarkBulbeck @WorkWombatman Same. I tried Elden Ring, Resi Village, Fortnite and the store and none worked. Did the reset etc and the problem spread to rest of my games.

  • FbrJordan JordanFBR_Leaks (@FbrJordan) reported

    I can't login to Fortnite. It's saying I didn't buy it but I did and make sure your online when I have my internet on!

  • TheCyborgFalcon allison 🏳️‍⚧️ (@TheCyborgFalcon) reported

    I think Easy Anti Cheat crashes my computer because the only games that crash my computer are Elden Ring and Fortnite which both use it

  • HenchmanOnDS Audrey KNUCKLES ENJOYER (@HenchmanOnDS) reported

    Did Fortnite seriously give me an Xbox Live Gold purchase error despite not needing it anymore

  • Marusame Marusame (@Marusame) reported

    @jonvanausdeln @XboxSupport same, its telling me either it needs to sign in, or I need to be online to use it. I dont see anything on the fortnite status about it but it seems to be down on series x.

  • newjorg Jörg Tittel (@newjorg) reported

    It turns out @Xbox is experiencing a mass outage, clearly as a result of Fortnite now being available on their cloud platform. Thousands of players unable to play the games - even ones installed on their consoles that they own (!) - because Epic and Apple have a billionaire spat.

  • GargolaVudu Castle (@GargolaVudu) reported

    @The_Cormaster @FortniteGame @Xbox servers down

  • FencilLisa77 Lisa Fencil (@FencilLisa77) reported

    @przave @TomacToppec @XboxSupport We can’t launch Fortnite. Keeps telling us the person who purchased has to sign in

  • kxxy_Mexxler Kody Mettler (@kxxy_Mexxler) reported
