  • stevenmperrry Steven Perry (@stevenmperrry) reported

    @ATVIAssist please please fix the stability issue on xbox series x. Concentrate on this before all the micro transactions. Fix the game the FIRST

  • cutechroma Chroma (@cutechroma) reported

    @DarrenWyatt84 I’ve had it disconnect immediately after turning on the console with the center xbox button on the controller. This has happened quite a few times. It’s so odd. Luckily haven’t had an dc’s while playing.

  • Jkyez Jake (@Jkyez) reported

    2/2 it won’t let me join friends, it’ll just crash my xbox again. Please help. I cannot loose this world. it means a lot

  • xPinkSmoke xPinkMartini (@xPinkSmoke) reported

    @staycationtg It’s on Xbox. This has happened quite a few times on here. They said it takes 12-24 hours to process and receive the coins sometimes. If it didn’t take 24 hours to take my money it shouldn’t take 24 hours to give me what I used that money for! I already contacted customer service

  • PhreakarRyoko Phreakar: RyoStrifer (@PhreakarRyoko) reported

    @JontyPage1 @TamikuzTheFirst Think the biggest issue was Yoshida wanted people to be able to play without paying for Xbox live. Like how you don't need ps+ to play on playstation. And something to do with patch approvals. But that might have been sorted out by now.

  • chickey253 Charles Hickey (@chickey253) reported from Seattle, Washington

    So @chesscom I’ve now lost three games to “abandonment” because the app is not recognizing my moves and the timer just ticks and ticks. I thought ditching Xbox would remove the infamous lag switch.

  • aJNation71 Alexander-James (@aJNation71) reported

    @UbisoftSupport I have encountered a glitch that doesn’t allow me to progress in Watch Dogs Legion on Xbox Series X. After answering the call in the ‘Reporting For Duty’ mission it doesn’t move forward. The objective resets and I have to keep doing it over and over again.

  • RexaTyrranos Rexa, QUEEN 👑 of House Tyrannis 🦖 (@RexaTyrranos) reported

    Buy books or pay off my library fines 🤔🤔🤔 Decisions decisions (it's $50+ for a dvd that got stuck in an xbox that was sent to service that they lost 🙄)

  • smellyhispanic henry (@smellyhispanic) reported

    joe rogan jordan peterson clip autoplayed on youtube is my xbox broken ?

  • Jonat2Go Jonat2Go (@Jonat2Go) reported

    @CUMWlTCH @leaksbydaylight They claim it's a copyright issue with displaying console logos on other platforms. Yet other games have managed to be able to display this information. Why not just associate colors? Blue is PlayStation, green is Xbox, etc

  • sk3tchyyyyy Frank (@sk3tchyyyyy) reported

    @Cuz_Lightyearr Mannn I hate to say it buts its just wZ on the xbox platform. I’ve had this problem since the game dropped... it never records the clip properly. Ill even record it for longer amounts of time but it always gets 10 seconds of the most irrelevant part lol

  • iRetroPablo P A B L O 👾 (@iRetroPablo) reported

    The #twitch Xbox app is so bad. Constant lag and buffering!

  • Rizzda14 midget🇬🇧 (@Rizzda14) reported

    @ATVIAssist I have an issue when trying to get on the game when I load it up it kicks me onto the home page mid way through with a error saying 0x87e5000a I have tried Xbox support but they said to contact you as Cold War is the only game that this occurs on any help please

  • DrunkyMazter DrunkyMazterFlex (@DrunkyMazter) reported

    The good thing about Ghostwire Tokyo and Deathloop is getting released later on Xbox is that we probably won't have any of these notorious launch problems we have been dealing with with these recent games.

  • hurwitz_joey Joey Hurwitz (@hurwitz_joey) reported

    @Discovery why would you support a platform aka that sold only 48.2 million XBOX ONE over the leader PS4 AT 112 MILLION KINDA STUPID DISCOVERY to launch your new streaming service discovery + and leave OVER 100 MILLION POTENTIAL customers behind

  • PhreakarRyoko Phreakar: RyoStrifer (@PhreakarRyoko) reported

    @SamiLayton I know 2 of the issues what with the way patches are handled on Xbox and that Yoshida said players should be able to play without having xbox live. Like how you don't need plus to play it on playstation. But that was ages ago. So could have been negotiating since then

  • Anng3ls Anng3ls (@Anng3ls) reported

    @gamer_enderboy @GShedgehog @Xbox TLOU2 came out insanely polished, with 0 broken promises, a bold and unique plot and its never defended by people Cyberpunk 2077 is riddled with broken promises, unfinished concepts, bugs bugs bugs everywhere, subpar visuals on consoles widely defended by an army of shills

  • QtheLight Rachel (@QtheLight) reported

    @Activision @ATVIAssist @CallofDuty Myself, like many others, are having many issues with Cold War on Xbox one. Can I get some help with my game? Kept getting no connection to server error message and couldn’t go anywhere with it so I reinstalled the game...

  • squicly squidy🦑 (@squicly) reported

    There’s a glitch on Xbox where it shows ur online if ur appearing offline.. nice

  • womack_nic Nic Womack (@womack_nic) reported

    @XboxSupport so I’d like to know when y’all are going to fix the Series X connectivity problems. I can’t even stay on it without getting kicked off 20 minutes later. But when I go to my Xbox One, everything is perfectly fine. Fix this!!!

  • The_CrapGamer The CrapGamer (@The_CrapGamer) reported

    @Elchilangooo @Fuzzy_Belvedere I've had FAR less issues with PSN over the last 3-4 years than Xbox Live. Just keeping it real. It's not the Xbox 360 days anymore. Hell, I pay for Live and still ran into cheaters due to cross-play in stuff like Sea Of Thieves....

  • Patjeuh_070 Patjeuh070🇳🇱XboxSeriesX💯 (@Patjeuh_070) reported

    @ACS_HUSK Hope they fix it 😬 @XboxSupport @TwitchSupport maybe take a look at it

  • ScottyG1984 ScottyG (@ScottyG1984) reported

    @DestroyerRight @Man4kPower @XRays_Insider December 4th, my guy. The game has been patched at least 4 times since then, lol. As of last patch, xbox has much better shadows and shadow distance, and it doesn't drop resolution in quality mode anymore, at least not that I can tell. Fps haven't really been an issue on either

  • PatrixRaider It's Pat (@PatrixRaider) reported

    ***UPDATE*** Apparently the person from Xbox support was wrong. I just had an issue with my external dar dive. Tomb raider is back on my xbox one

  • _MacaDamian Damian Barnes (@_MacaDamian) reported

    @xTJPx3 The interface is undeniably better, way more interactive. and since I moved to my new place ps has given so much connection issues and I’ve had to reset my account Pw twice for some reason where Xbox has given me no problems

  • TuNeToxicz Tyrone (@TuNeToxicz) reported

    @PlayStation yall better pick up or I'm moving back to @Xbox!! I'm done with this bs. When I was with Xbox had no problems and I might just go back

  • AndrewKirk6 Kirktacular6 (@AndrewKirk6) reported

    @AndrewLegersky @Borderlands Interesting, I haven’t had issues with lag due to menu or fast travel ever since they updated the game a few months after launch. I’ve been playing lately since season 2 DLC and haven’t had any crashes or lag at all. I play on Xbox one S. Sorry you’re having problems!
