Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • __steward__ Steward Appiagyei (@__steward__) reported

    @DrDavizle @Flawlessjay86 @MilesDompier Assuming that's true, that wasnt my point. Whatever the method, Sony already has a streaming service and a game download service. Combining those into one service bundle like Xbox did with GamePass Ultimate and adding day one first party = GamePass competitor.

  • YesDestined2Win You Will Feel My Fury Is Relentless X/Sensational (@YesDestined2Win) reported

    @Vergil30715045 @Xbox @DOC_DARK1985 There is something clearly wrong with the SX. But it's not like it's your problem 🤦 give it a rest. Complain to sony about ps issues. Sony should've have given more and longer games to keep you occupied

  • behndclosedeyes seenbehindclosedeyes (@behndclosedeyes) reported

    @MicrosoftStore Hi. Can I bring xbox in for service in store(fifth avenue) even with an expired warranty?

  • noirink89 Reverend NoirInk 🙏 (@noirink89) reported

    @scotp09 Haha yeah this is where lays my problem lol thing is I don't even own the consoles to play them on I just want them on a display shelf haha, then I may get thr limited edition consoles lol I have the 1st ps4 wouldn't mind the xbox they bought out

  • SuperPodshots Super Podshots (@SuperPodshots) reported

    @wilsenal I don't have a problem with DLC bro, it's new game content. But you shouldn't have to pay for an upgrade. It should just work like xbox. That's why dudes be complaining. Charging 10 to play a game on the next Gen console with all the bells & whistles is not a good look.

  • Damian64208003 Nice Donk Bro! (@Damian64208003) reported

    @Ki11ersix My game doesn't do that, I have an entirely different issue, if I load into a map with the Maurice black market vendor, game crashes. Guess there is more than one bug on Xbox 1

  • neo__tech neoTECH Industries (@neo__tech) reported

    @Kent_Stark Oh, it's more powerful, marginally, but it is. Another PS4 pro vs X1X scenario. Some games say otherwise, but those are just outliers in PS5's favor, mostly due to better dev talent or optimization problems on Xbox's end.

  • YoImMoon Yo Im Moon (@YoImMoon) reported

    @xboxinsider Yeah....after this update, it factory reset my Xbox Series X. Very weird. May want to review this as it seems a lot of people are having issues with the update.

  • C32Gaming C32 (@C32Gaming) reported

    @HardcoreMetal89 @GameHero235 @JezCorden Ok and? the beauty of first party is they make money off of anything and everything xbox. They don't need first party games to be profitable the way 3rd party games need to be. They mostly need to attract more customers to the service and brand.

  • maordervis maor dervis (@maordervis) reported

    @neoronnie42 @aceattorneygame so that is likely the reason this is not on xbox, if you took that as me saying they it should not be on xbox that is kinda your problem, nothing tin foil about it

  • Jiinx_zR Washed Champ (@Jiinx_zR) reported

    how do i fix sound in new xbox

  • OpticalSpectre OpticalSpectre (@OpticalSpectre) reported

    Are the black ops 1 servers down on xbox? I keep getting thrown in matches with no players

  • Nathand86914897 Nathan drake (@Nathand86914897) reported

    @CrispsCold All first party xbox games will be there forever while third party games rotate( most of them even stay on the service) , they notify you about the games leaving the service some time before the actual departure though.

  • XboxGamers2020 SpotlightGaming_TV (@XboxGamers2020) reported

    @xboxinsider @WorkWombatman not only is xbox insider app dead on xbox all screen shots fail also after alpha skip ahead update do you have a fix or work around hard reset dont work

  • YesDestined2Win You Will Feel My Fury Is Relentless X/Sensational (@YesDestined2Win) reported

    @Vergil30715045 @Xbox @DOC_DARK1985 There is something clearly wrong with the SX. But it's not like it's your problem 🤦 give it a rest. I don't even know why you care, you don't play on Xbox so relax. Sony really should've have given more and longer games to keep you occupied. Focus on ps not the X

  • YoDammit Yo Dammit (@YoDammit) reported

    "Microsoft blames declining Xbox game and service revenue on third party games" At least in my case, it's because of the absurd requirements of Windows 11 and I won't spend one cent until they are removed.

  • Matthacker01 Matthacker1 (@Matthacker01) reported

    @ju_2timez @XboxSupport I will fix it now

  • KasperKooistra Kasper Kooistra (@KasperKooistra) reported

    @imo_omar @eurogamer I still like PS IPs better, i just think that in regards of creativity Xbox Gamepass has a better prospect. Also, GP for me would be like a hacked console with hundreds of games, i'd play 6 per month for an hour and never finish anything. Its a luxury problem but still

  • Super_Awesomez Becca (@Super_Awesomez) reported

    @Spitfire_Spud @XboxSupport Yeah I had to reset it but I didn’t delete the games and apps. The skip ahead alpha must be broken.

  • BleuChampagne27 The Bleu Mamba X 🎧 (@BleuChampagne27) reported

    I got all my childhood essentials on my xbox as of rn. Anybody want that MK11 work lets get it, But if yall *****; catch me in the Crash Bandicoot or Spyro servers

  • Matthacker01 Matthacker1 (@Matthacker01) reported

    @EwanMur48575694 @XboxSupport I’m here to fix your account

  • MacOKelley13 MacKenzie O'Kelley (@MacOKelley13) reported

    @Ki11ersix I kinda want to say it's a system problem as my xbox will sometimes just close a game when you go to open it or even in the middle of one. Would say start with 2k support first just in case though

  • AmbassadorHelp AmbassadorHelp (@AmbassadorHelp) reported

    @dana01471 @XboxSupport Try restarting it, if that doesnt work click on "Troubleshoot", then "Reset" and "Reset but keep games and apps" Sign in back afterwards and everything should be back to normal

  • ExtremeGamer Scott Burress (@ExtremeGamer) reported

    @FL_Cow That’s the problem. Expensive console. Then $70 games. When Xbox gives you to them in the sub

  • ColbieDowns Colbie Downs (@ColbieDowns) reported

    @ItsukiSword I will agree that getting a controller to work on windows is a ***** lol. If I could I would use steam but can’t add Xbox game pass games as a non steam game. Also even then I still have had issues with controllers not being recognized in steam.

  • james53009390 KING JAMES (@james53009390) reported

    @dkAbbaspeaks @Nathand86914897 @geoffkeighley So far great Didn’t have any problems with both of them only thing that bothers me is no next gen exclusive for Xbox yet

  • M4Phil Phil (@M4Phil) reported

    @Xbox Fix your Flight Simulator installation process. It’s broken.

  • sicko_drxp ig:@sicko.drxp (@sicko_drxp) reported

    and the map situation only happens on my xbox account everything else i mentioned happens on both, so please message me so we can fix this

  • HenrySt00251619 Henry Stafford (@HenrySt00251619) reported

    @Ki11ersix Nah there are ALOT of similar problems specific to xbox that gearbox and 2k both haven't done anything about since the cross play update

  • edkenny21 edkenny2 (@edkenny21) reported

    @MunkiePlays @XcloudTimdog I have no problem holding the SSD card for the Xbox Series X. I have a great gaming PC, and as soon as I can I will get a Xbox Series X. I refuse to get any Playstation after go up in flames and cause over 150k in damages.
