  • DeLion_M MD (@DeLion_M) reported

    @FortniteGame Xbox still hasn’t gotten 1K and shows inactive, fix. Thanks

  • Schweisberger3 Lee schweisberger (@Schweisberger3) reported

    @Xbox How can you sell more accessories to a console you can’t even sell? Seems like you guys are ignoring the problem again...

  • KTM4211 KTM421 (@KTM4211) reported

    @TwitchSupport Fix the Xbox app it keeps crashing when streaming

  • KiingWalk C. Walk (10-6) (@KiingWalk) reported

    @infrarogue89 I’ve never had a drift problem with the PlayStation controller, unlike my Xbox Controller. I’ve been through numerous Xbox controllers and I’d rather not pay top dollar for a gimmicky Elite Controller.

  • RealAlphaStatus Alpha WF (@RealAlphaStatus) reported

    @CallofDuty @xbox I’ve never had a game that crashed like Black Ops: Cold War.. this game freezes & crashes at least 2-3 times a day!! Why haven’t you fixed the issue yet??

  • AndySnell0901 Snail. (@AndySnell0901) reported

    @ForzaHorizon any idea when the new xbox platform will be able to play? Still having the loading issue.

  • BalarHD Cal But Also Balar (@BalarHD) reported

    @infrarogue89 Why are people still comparing Sony and Xbox like they’re even competing anymore? Xbox is for easy access with less of a critical first-party focus Sony is more for making critical and commercial experiences, a practice too expensive to put on a service like gamepass

  • ProbIemSolving DifficultProblem/Ky (@ProbIemSolving) reported

    @Jerry76735133 I didn’t realize how huge the library is and comparing it to how much Microsoft charges for Xbox live and Gamepass PSnow users actually save money in the long run for those who want to have access to a cloud based service that’s continuously expanding

  • The_CrapGamer The CrapGamer (@The_CrapGamer) reported

    @Elchilangooo @Gallifr87268612 I'm an Xbox consumer dude. I have the right to speak my mind. I've been over this before with you. As long as I am invested I'll continue to speak up. Silence doesn't help the problems at all.

  • DeadsmileLtd Dead Smile Ltd (@DeadsmileLtd) reported

    @studlymansome We crashed that poor xbox so many times with that dumb glitch

  • The_Dark_Rev The dark revenant (@The_Dark_Rev) reported

    @juIiyum @SMITEGame Ps4 and xbox got PTS. Ps4 just ended up having issues and switch probably won't get it just due to hardware and or certification.

  • straty_corychuk Cory Stratychuk (@straty_corychuk) reported

    @XboxSupport Fix your controllers

  • ThePops2020 ThePops2020 (@ThePops2020) reported

    @exponential2020 @AiderAlchy I think yes a lot of PlayStation gamers would subscribe to a better Now service. I would. They have about 40 odd million subscribers on Plus at the moment. Xbox has about 90 million, though they refer to it as active users.

  • GarrettGamezYT Garrett (@GarrettGamezYT) reported

    Yall this dude i sold the xbox to is saying he's having problems like wtf dawg i didnt have any problems besides the controllers having a bit of stickiness/drift

  • Chris_Warby Warby (@Chris_Warby) reported

    @_JackPiper_ Thank you for your question. This is a common issue, you need to unplug your Xbox and microwave it for 30 minutes then launch it at your TV, if you are in need in anymore assistance please do not hesitate to ask

  • 91Adamx Adam (@91Adamx) reported

    @2KSupport fix the shooting @NBA2K xbox won't refund so least make it playable!! *🤬🤬

  • wideawakewesley Wes 💙 Film|TV|Games|Footy (@wideawakewesley) reported

    @BlackSymbiote It's a platform rather than a game itself. Anyone can create games on the platform if they sign up as a developer, which makes it a bit of a wild west, particularly with an issue like this, which is caused by the platform (specifically the xbox version), not the devs.

  • DemonicRuns DemonicRobots 🇺🇲 (@DemonicRuns) reported

    @vicious696 The problem becomes when it is the eventually the only option to play certain games because when the Xbox Pass eventually ends, they probably won't transfer over the games to where they can become preserved. It is a long term problem, not a short term one.

  • Meemereview Meme_review (@Meemereview) reported

    @loneqXBL @Xbox So do you really think that over 30,mill more xboxes are going to randomly pop up with full data testing or lag spike checks or even quality control and graphics cards and even then they have to by the items first ti make the consol idiot so wait

  • SCrafterKing SonicCrafterKing (@SCrafterKing) reported

    @yungsnaku One problem: I already beat the game on Xbox Game Pass PC without lowering the difficulty. It was a blast.

  • Dmelvin22 DRoc (@Dmelvin22) reported

    @Ronnie2K @Chooka2K My career didn’t carry over from Xbox one to series x. I paid a bunch of $ for the next gen version, but once again let down by 2k. And I haven’t played the game since. Fix your broken product “Ronnie”

  • cathickson Chris Thickson 🇨🇦 (@cathickson) reported

    @Docta_Moe Gamepass is fine, it's Xbox consoles that make no sense because of it. Series X is being outsold 2-1 already to the PS5. Microsoft failed so bad at the console business it needed to become a subscription service.

  • CommonGuy69 common_guy (@CommonGuy69) reported

    @Azanian_Gamer @XcloudTimdog The issue with your statement is that Xbox has supplied an alternative that fixes both those issues at once:)

  • andres_rafa Andrés Lista (@andres_rafa) reported

    @Xbox Tru customer service just like @Xbox

  • BrentOlivache Nunez (@BrentOlivache) reported

    Switching to PlayStation Xbox has entirely too many issues

  • berserk4384 Joseph ford (@berserk4384) reported

    @ThaSwampDonkey @Sony @PlayStation The problem is the ps4 lmao just go play you’re Xbox lol

  • SpaceTheGamer Space (@SpaceTheGamer) reported

    @knaight_ Doesn't make the Night stages bad, besides God the slowdown on the Day stages made them difficult to play in Unleashed, I know that with Xbox Series X and Unleashed Project that isn't an issue anymore but it was annoying as hell back in the day

  • RagingxH RagingxHofa (@RagingxH) reported

    @ATVIAssist Well did you guys ever fix the theater mode on Xbox one?

  • MrBurner97 Mr.Burner (@MrBurner97) reported

    @the_ChrisLucero @farismdbouya201 @JulianAMolinaJ1 That’s the issue with Gamepass. It lacks premium games. They have to much filler in their library. Good value in paper. But if you look through the library, it’s just an alright service. Until Xbox releases PlayStation level exclusives on their service, Gamepass is overrated.
