  • exponential2020 Methodicalmadness (@exponential2020) reported

    @AM33ZY The problem with that is they tried that with bungie and bungie left. Xbox have learnt the hard lesson and now prefer to let these studios keep their culture and keep them at arms length. It's working in terms of attracting more studios, but then we miss certain ips we want bk

  • Ethan_Holland34 Ethan Holland (@Ethan_Holland34) reported

    @xboxuk I’ve got a problem where I can only load some games and my Xbox series x keeps glitching out like there’s a bug with the system

  • angelsk Jo Carter (@angelsk) reported

    @XboxSupport Any reports of people having problems with achievements unlocking. I've unlocked some today - but some are not unlocking when they should. It's not consistent. Happening on my Series X. (Degrees of Separation and My Aunt is a Witch are affected). Gamertag: angelsk

  • mercykill784 Doug (@mercykill784) reported

    @EA_SMOKE @XboxSupport Good luck with that. Seems any problems you have with Xbox, you can't call them back about. Really frustrating when you want to talk to someone.

  • OssisX Ossis (@OssisX) reported

    @DannyMinick @PorterJonD2 You can't download Xbox Games and PS5 games while playing Stadia and watching Netflix and expect 0 input lag with an average router.

  • roadhouse2100 Stimmy Turner (@roadhouse2100) reported

    @Kmega4 @ArcSystemWorkU They did it to unify the community... tournament happens and it’s like “what system do we play”.... should be a thing of the past seeing as how offlines probably won’t be back for a while, cross play exists, and Xbox has the better online service

  • JonathanDor6 Jonathan Doré (@JonathanDor6) reported

    @EAHelp my fifa has been saying for hours now that it is taking too long to start tried restarting it and powering my Xbox on and off but still no luck is there a way to fix this?

  • UpwardBoss UpwardBoss (@UpwardBoss) reported

    Microsoft NEED to fix. "Just get a capture card" isn't really a great solution when A) I don't need it to stream from PS4, PS5, or Xbox One and B) doing this would require a complete re-arranging of my gaming room which frankly I don't want to do when I could just stream these

  • GameHero235 Games hero (@GameHero235) reported

    @cjthenorthstar @The_CrapGamer And this is why you hate Xbox exclusives. Xbox is know for Multiplayer games my dude. Gears 5 is not a single player game its a multiplayer game. Once again its not a Microsoft issue its you

    @XboxSupport hello. Can we help me with a video problem on my Xbox one s?

  • sidofthedead1 shhhimdead tick tock REKM&NUKE member (@sidofthedead1) reported

    @JayDubcity16 Right two problems with this. This doesn't take into consideration the supply issues and two funny considering the Xbox has outsold the ps5 and the switch in the UK in fact the ps5 was third ...

  • L0rdMagnus L0rd Magnus & Pals (@L0rdMagnus) reported

    @MrXBob Same thing has happened to my wife's xbox. I can't figure out how to fix it either.

  • disturbedgoose1 disturbedgoose (@disturbedgoose1) reported
