    @EAHelp I have a problem, I pre ordered fifa 23 (ultimate edition)on my Xbox series x and it was in my games and apps for a few days then a day or two before the pre ordered version came out I went to download it and it wasn’t there, ive checked everywhere on my Xbox

  • wJteevee Will James aka #wxhr0 of #wJteevee & #wjtv.LIVE (@wJteevee) reported

    @drjonesjnr @GameGeniPrime Does mean you got a Sony PS7? the console coming out after the next console update to fix the F- up that they made PS5. Ever wonder why Sony who beat the Xbox one with PS4 because more powerful, smaller, & equal or less price? Then rebound w/ their own version of Xbox 1calledPS 5

  • ElisabethRappe Elisabeth Rappe (@ElisabethRappe) reported

    @awhimandadare Mine died, so I do the same, I use my XBOX. Normally I don’t have trouble streaming but lately, it’s dropping and buffering. So annoying.

  • TimidLilWolf TimidLilWolf (@TimidLilWolf) reported

    @MldGhost If Google had done Stadia like Xbox Gamepass, I think it would have done better. But having to pay for the service and buy games separately, I think that is what killed Stadia.

  • vg_watcher VGWatcher (@vg_watcher) reported

    @SpawnWaveMedia Stadia failed for one very clear reason. Nobody wanted to buy games on a service that they would lose the moment the service closed. PlayStation, Xbox and Luna all have the right idea of offering subscription libraries rather than premium priced games.

  • Charlie85748663 Charlie Burns (@Charlie85748663) reported

    @Griggity I would to see your explanation of a "better" customer service. From what I've seen, they're offering "priority" service, the meaning of which is "the right to take precedence or to proceed before others". Curious how this affects an Xbox fanboy?

  • AwwesomeAndrew Awesome Andrew® (@AwwesomeAndrew) reported

    @kidsmoove My issue with "Quick Resume" is you only have it at the cost of DRM. Alot of the games are not on the disk itself but comes from Xbox.

  • JinxViPowder69 Jinx/Powder (@JinxViPowder69) reported

    @X_Diamond10 @FortniteStatus But with FPS drops almost every game when you drop out of the bus, in a 5 years old game and devs just puts out a useless patch to “fix it” then ignore it after...I doubt people will overlook the issue so easily(on the Xbox side of thing FPS drops are still not fixed, idk others)

  • YeezusOneil Young Sephiroth (@YeezusOneil) reported

    @NikoMueller Its gonna be about, it will be cloud and services. I predict that at the end, Nintendo will be king of handheld alone in that market and Sony will be king of consoles alone in the market, and Xbox will pass to be just a service that in every device will be on.

  • SPRINGFORGE ionic-bio (@SPRINGFORGE) reported

    @Hatsuma2 @ymnisV2 The issue is they are providing faster customer service to people who are giving them money. It should be equal across the board like Xbox. But it’s Sony I’m not surprised honestly

  • RspencerValor RspencerValor (@RspencerValor) reported

    @Masterman1716 @Xbox I don't have issues with my controllers.

  • VeryWickedFella 𖤐 very very wicked friend 𖤐 (@VeryWickedFella) reported

    @gavinatorize2 also funny how doom nukenstein 2 was still fine but then 3 was complete dogshit and the revival on xbox 360 was super mediocre and nobody cared about it like it literally no one bought it it wasnt even taht broken just very boring

  • archieroberts50 Archie Roberts (@archieroberts50) reported

    @ATVIAssist Hi, can’t unlink my account. I have no access to that email anymore but I can login to activision and I can prove I’m the owner of the Xbox account. Please help

  • The_Socko 𝕊𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕠 (@The_Socko) reported

    @Saltiest_Gaming Not a gimmick in the slightest, an option to disable certain games for online login reasons would be a great addition. No idea how you spin this into yet another Xbox-hate post. Sad.

  • thegamerzden19 TheGamerzDMZ (@thegamerzden19) reported

    @MldGhost I do not think XBOX/M$ had anything to do with killing Stadia. Google did not want to compete and spend the billions necessary for a proper cloud based gaming service. Which meant Google had to invest in publishers and developers.

  • benicemurph be nice murphy (@benicemurph) reported

    literally BEGGING @Crunchyroll to fix their Xbox app at this point. It's completely absurd that I pay money every month just for shows to NEVER PLAY when I ask them to.

  • zhewar9985 Pazza Inter Fan (@zhewar9985) reported

    @TWTHEREDDRAGON @CMAgovUK LOL someone mad Google's ****** service failed and they hate Xbox. Now do the one where Sony put Sega out of the console business.

  • Madz_MG SonAntu (@Madz_MG) reported

    @EASPORTSFIFA Fix the game on PC. Bluetooth xbox controllers don't work. Fps constantly drops. Can't edit players due to a bug. Some people are reporting the game is overheating their hardware. The game needs better optimisation.

  • 1StarImpact TheHairyGorilla (@1StarImpact) reported

    @PersonaSpeaks Wait Sony has CS? :P Though to be fair Xbox fired theirs lol. You get bots now and talk to "gamers" to solve problems...

  • Zer0Vis0n Psyncer (@Zer0Vis0n) reported

    @DMagic007 @SuisuiBara @digimon_games Its not there lol. Been an issue for Xbox players since launch

  • TravisBickler Mister Pink (@TravisBickler) reported

    @WhatafiendCorey @TWTHEREDDRAGON You can't Quick Resume into an online game. That's all. Imagine trying to engineer the impossible. However, Quick Resume is indiscriminate off online/offline games/modes. When Xbox adds a function to exclude games from Quick Resume, there is no issue. Quick Resume is genius.

  • d21lewis Tim Lewis (@d21lewis) reported

    @TWTHEREDDRAGON Say what you will about Xbox. When people complain about something, they quickly jump in and offer a fix.

  • abbbgml Ahmad (@abbbgml) reported

    @DestinLegarie only problem is that it's more expensive than the xbox, ps and pc version

  • Welfare_JBP John Welfare (@Welfare_JBP) reported

    @EarlYarl If me posting a week that showed PS5 under Xbox counts as "Sony is doomed" you have issues PS5 price increased and Series S had a price promo in the same week. I noted those as impacts I never said Xbox would stay ahead in Japan so I don't care if PS5 went up and passed it

  • Tangoarmy James Wray (@Tangoarmy) reported from Emporia, Kansas

    @Zirksee Is it a Xbox issue? I haven't seen happen on PS5 yet.

  • Jose58961829 Jose (@Jose58961829) reported

    @IGN Xbox been having a1 service when I needed help with a problem with my Xbox 🔥🔥

  • MylesBurrell MJB. (@MylesBurrell) reported

    After 7 years of service and many many many hours spent playing make believe, it’s time to retire my Xbox One

  • ArPranky ArPranKy (@ArPranky) reported

    @Studderz_Savage @JAAY_ROCK_ That’s PlayStation u got it backwards lmao, we not getting price hikes, we get games for free on first day release, we can cancel and get our money back with no issues, you don’t even need an Xbox to play Xbox games( cloud gaming/gamepass pc)……

  • Jordan93841636 Jordan (@Jordan93841636) reported

    @EAHelp @coltnewT I have an issue, I pre ordered fifa 23 ultimate edition on my Xbox series x and it is not in my games and apps or owned, it was there when I bought it then a few days later it disappeared

  • C_h_r_i_sXD Chris (@C_h_r_i_sXD) reported

    @JamieMoranUK hello Jamie I have a question, when you make a clip from Xbox does it give you any problem with the audio? every clip i make has no audio even if it is a singleplayer game. I contacted @XboxSupport but they did not give me any solution
