Xbox Live Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ScoutTheTrooper Scout (@ScoutTheTrooper) reported

    @SpooneyToe11240 The issue is that the bundle is required now. You can’t get JUST Xbox Live Gold anymore. Doubling the price during covid is stupid.

  • BarbacKTV BarbacK (@BarbacKTV) reported

    @SyNc_deboany @charlieINTEL Xbox has less issues, technical and network. So guess you get what you pay for. Rather pay $15/month for 100's of free games & xbl combined than pay for every single game that's worth playing. Especially since EA Play is included. You enjoy dropping 60+ for every new title though

  • WorldsXbox XboxWorlds (@WorldsXbox) reported

    There is too much money on the table for them not to go down this path and they have the investments in place in cloud and gaming IP to support it. So don't be surprised when you're locked exclusively on a China owned streaming service... #Xbox #Playstation #Nintendo

  • ComradeTwatter Super Smash Bruhs (@ComradeTwatter) reported

    @drakossus @TheQuartering You fail to mention that many games require a day one patch to fix broken things, to add content that couldn't be fit on one disk, DLC, and expansions. Good luck to anyone buying a used Xbox One to play Halo MCC and 2 games are missing and the service will be discontinued

  • kronelogical Kronelogical (@kronelogical) reported

    Does anyone have any issues with a xbox update, after it resets during the update it goes to the needs update. Its in a loop. Any help/suggestions? #xbox #Microsoft

  • Aggiecore From The Phoenix (@Aggiecore) reported

    @TweetyExpert I use an XBOX Fusion.....havent had any issues whatsoever with it

  • XenomorphPrime Xenomorph_Prime_ (@XenomorphPrime) reported

    @JAMesBroWWWn @GameSpot No no no the free game is completly free you just need to pay 120$ for the online service. Halo Infinite MP is and always will be free. This message was send by : Xbox Customer Service

  • 762x39FMJ cody (@762x39FMJ) reported

    @ShadowsUltra If it doesn't backfire in their face (kinda is), it's solely a business move. Xbox is trying to drive people to their games on demand service, rather than buying and owning a game for life. They're trying to make it more like the Hulu of gaming consoles

  • actionahsan Action Ahsan (@actionahsan) reported

    @RAB360 @Puertorock77_ Wow defending this ***** *** move. No wonder ms do what they do. The Xbox fanbase is the problem

  • _Shatterhead Shatterhead (@_Shatterhead) reported

    @cameron_rix @XboxSupport Because some of us actually like “owning” our own games instead of constantly renting through a bullshit subscription service. And now they’re being asked to pay twice as much for receiving nothing more than they already have in return.

  • Fabio08547327 Fabio (@Fabio08547327) reported

    @XboxSupport You're definitely the worst company in gaming history, raise the price up to 120 ******* bucks for a service that should be FREE is the worst kick in the **** you could've do to your own clients.

  • SCREAM1NGGOAT Joe (@SCREAM1NGGOAT) reported

    @eitherorworks @Xbox I bought two years off Amazon for 60 each they got til 2023ish to fix it or I'm gone

  • George_L0v3 Sheep George (@George_L0v3) reported

    @SharcticHD @ShadowOpsFN @XboxSupport Lol ur getting that mad over an obsolete service.

  • jzzskijj Hans H. Sommarstuga (@jzzskijj) reported

    Fun Friday night with #gamepass on #xbox: Starting Yakuza Kiwami 2 took too long. Tried 3 times. Why Microsoft can't write a proper error explanation? I have the full game in my local hard disk, so how the hell starting a game can take too long? Cloud crap is still crap in 2021.

  • ricekickJR Jay (@ricekickJR) reported

    @Microsoft @xbox @XboxP3 double price hike for the xbox live service? Really? Yeah. Thats robbery. Kinda regreting getting a series x now. Im about to look to trading my console for a ps5.

  • ZamusGem ZamusGem🔞 (❤️Commissions Open❤️) (@ZamusGem) reported

    @Izzy_Ti This makes me very upset because I just started playing my Xbox more and don’t want to pay expensive prices for an online service. This needs to be backtracked and thought through again.

  • emma__McHugh emma ✨ (@emma__McHugh) reported

    any girl who has a boyfriend who shags xbox/ps4...Matts has just broken and ive never been so smug in my life, unlucky *** x

  • ricardocsf1983 Ricardo Fernandes (@ricardocsf1983) reported

    @XboxSupport and i think that double pricing for the same service is not legal...

  • bryanswood Bryan (@bryanswood) reported

    Xbox has better exclusive games Xbox has better online service Xbox is the best place for multiplatform games Xbox is just plain better #xboxisbetter

  • HyperVenom523 HyperVenom523 (@HyperVenom523) reported

    @Stallion83 Yes and all the rest too... If Xbox games on PC are free online why pay on console and if they cant drop it then why keep buying Xbox consoles... This made me think Series X might be my last console I buy from them next gen if they dont fix all this **** Im done...

  • AbelVen88255402 Abel Ventura (@AbelVen88255402) reported

    @WoofWoofLeader @XboxGamePass @Xbox Yeah didn’t a ps5 overheat come on a console is a console and I don’t see the problem with game pass

  • Palecrayon Palecrayon (@Palecrayon) reported

    @RealPoipole @OrdinaryGamers Switch online is not good, its a shitty service, it's only upsides are the classic games and the low price. Xbox gamepass ultimate is a way better deal as you get hundreds of games on both xbox and pc lmao, cant speak to the Playstation one but you are wrong

  • TerrelleGraham TG✨ (@TerrelleGraham) reported

    PlayStation is trending because people are discussing how much cheaper PS+ is compared to the 50% price increase that Microsoft announced today for Xbox Live Gold. Looks like Microsoft just shot themselves in the foot, despite already lagging behind Sony this generation.

  • Chazzagram Charlie 👾 (@Chazzagram) reported

    Officially never touching my Xbox ever again. At least not to play multiplayer. They can get ****** if they think I’m gonna spend £120 a year for a shitty online service. God bless Nintendos £20 yearly online service.

  • AlanBaune Alan Baune (@AlanBaune) reported

    On top of Xbox already sucking mondo **** in every way imaginable and being nothing but money hungry af giving us shitty hardware and service, they now increase Xbox live to 120/year #fuckxbox

  • caesar_notsalad caesar_notsalad (@caesar_notsalad) reported

    @TitanfallBlog Do u lag on xbox tho?

  • Azelff_ Shade♡ (@Azelff_) reported

    Was on track for a round 100 game in zombies and my game crashes because activision can't fix cold war on Xbox... GG.

  • Gainz4Squad Michael B (@Gainz4Squad) reported

    @iFireMonkey Wish they could fix the game freezing on losing screen after like every game on xbox

  • JenBandicoot 🤡Jen💙 (@JenBandicoot) reported

    Still no tweet from @Xbox because they'd know the backlash they'd get. I'm just so dissapointed, gold member for over 13 years and they double the price. Why? They didn't improve the service. Oh it's to bully us into buying Gamepass. Clown in my name represents how I feel 🤡

  • RaayDadof2 DAD (@RaayDadof2) reported

    Idk what’s up with these Xbox controllers but they always disconnect from the new Xbox, I can’t get them to reconnect unless I unplug it from the back
