    @ArmaPlatform Anyone else having issues on Xbox where chat audio is only coming through speakers on tv not on Xbox chat headset? Hoping this is something devs can add on settings to choose where voice audio goes.

    Hot take: @PlayStation should do what Xbox is doing, and optimize/release their future games on PC like Xbox. With the shortage of PS5s still being an issue, I just feel like they’d make more way more money selling games on steam, seeing as PC is way more accessible rn.

    @AskPlayStation I’m worried I may have to end up team xbox with the rudeness my wife just received from customer service. Her game isn’t working and they wouldn’t even listen to the problem before ending the chat. They aren’t upholding the refund policy as written, how sad.

    Hi team, many users are reporting problems with xbox Rewards. Account banned and account blocked when redeeming points. It happened at several countries and thousands of people are affected. Please can you check your systems and solve it as soon as possible? @XboxSupport

    @Neil_Drugsmann @TH3MAF1A @Ubisoft it will be a separate service for set amount Ubi PS and Xbox agree too

    @abduplays_ Its all for clout. If theres zero reason to buy a ps5 then the same is even truer for xbox. I don't get it. I'd only have an issue if it was day and date because it would take resources/ focus away from maxing out ps5 potential

    @Riptokus @XboxSupport So if you don’t know. Xbox renews a license for a game when your trying to play. This is a license on your Xbox account not your console. So if something goes wrong with this particular service then it fails to renew your license.

    @DisfrutaXbox @XboxSupport The good customer service that was breathed in Xbox, has gone to waste in a single day.

    @sacrediconpod I was never as attached to Halo 2 until Anniversary as I only played the original on Xbox 360 and there were several glaring issues with the emulation that it was a huge distraction when I did play it. With Anniversary I can see it for the great game it is.

    @DestinLegarie Remember when it was the series s that was supposed to be "holding this generation back"... Smh. Sf6 is gonna be best on Xbox by default with less input lag

    New @microsoft @XboxSupport way to limit your play time. “Overheating” shutdown of Xbox Series X mid-game. After having Series X since launch & not a single shutdown, suddenly, new Destiny 2 update, and bam! Now, can’t play more than an hour if lucky. Seems like software issue.

    @XboxSupport are you ever going to fix the xbox mobile app for profile pictures? Many people have an issue where you upload a profile picture and once approved by non automated process it displays side ways no matter what way you send the photo.

    @RavenSoftware @RavenSoftware there are others with same issue I’m having. Im on Xbox one x my Xbox gamer tag is BASiK Wrath I literally unlocked it on 40 weapons. Please get back to me about this issue this is beyond frustrating!

    @Riptokus @XboxSupport What? These excuses are ridiculous. Also I apologize I was wrong about the disco kind of. You have the license in the disc but again if the Xbox service goes down then they can’t renew that license.

    @XboxSupport @MicrosoftHelps Hey guys, it's only been about 2,3, 4 years now. Any solution for the one s controller keeps disconnecting issue? You said you were working on it, I've been sitting here patiently since then... I'd really like to finally play fallout 4..

  • Its_BradM
    Brad Muse @ Post-CB Delirium (@Its_BradM) reported

    @ZeroSyndicate @NoGoodCitizen @edropple Right, that's the problem that I'm highlighting too. We aren't in a 'true' console generation shift rn, but even so most of the other games in the FGC are on PS5 already, XBox will be something of an island in that regard, and that is a detriment to its becoming prime platform

    @samfischer354 @RavenSoftware Only fix is to clear the saved game data and then xbox cache. Wouldn't be an issue if @RavenSoftware weren't amateurs and left native HD texture support for those who wanted it.

    @HERESJOHNNY61 @Xbox @XboxP3 Lol yea most likely. Plus I played games on Xbox, Windows, Windows Phone, iOS and switch. Probably a synching issue somewhere

    @CraigHarris456 I mean I guess it depends on how far the goalposts can be moved? I suspect when the Service based games are day and date people will say it's fine....and just keep moving the line backwards. It's exactly what happened to Xbox...lol

    @AidenMux @DaddyDDarkseid @Nibellion So? Every console manufacturer focuses on TVs, but Xbox can output 1440p no problem.

    @ImMFCR @FGMonkeyBizness Input lag on ps5 is still worse than xbox. If anything, TO's should go on and replace those ps4's with series s' which are available. Obviously evo will remain Sony

  • cantu_dmarcos
    Elden Lord Fideo Kojima (@cantu_dmarcos) reported

    Hot take: @PlayStation should release all future titles on PC just like Xbox is doing. They don’t have to do the game pass, just sell on steam. With the shortage of PS5s still being and issue, and pc being more accessible, I feel like they’d make money, while also pleasing fans.

    @Dimunsis Well again, the biggest issue in the case of 2 and 3, the originals aren't easily available while Resident Evil 4 can still be played on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch and PC. If it ends up being **** people still can easily get the original unlike 2 or 3.

    @oo_D4rK_D4n_oo @DyingLightGame I had that problem as well(xbox series x) but when they added the Ng+ option, when I did a NG+ on my save, I was able to pick them up again. Maybe it will work for you too
