Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • bmetrock Bradley Metrock (@bmetrock) reported

    @ckurdziel The Xbox 360's built in profile had some aspects of this. My opinion, best it ever got. Play a mobile app called Rumble, it has a pretty good system of matchmaking and weeding out problem folks. Could go on. And of course, many many bad ones

  • MaxTh0mas MaxTom (@MaxTh0mas) reported

    @2KSupport Civ 6 on Xbox Series X keeps crashing at around turn 200 onwards? Any fixes to the issue?

  • MattyG131 CousCous (@MattyG131) reported

    @ModernWarzone When are they going to fix #BlackOpsColdWar for @Xbox ? I can not open nor play it.

  • DaftySaph 🏳️‍⚧️ egg 🏳️‍⚧️ (@DaftySaph) reported

    @hutcherspade I had I this exact error and I'm an Xbox player 👀

  • The_Dark_Tacan Tacky ShadouReivun シャドウレイヴン (@The_Dark_Tacan) reported

    @PcElitist___ @NintendoAmerica PCs have issues with viruses that can cripple your PCs, even with the best Antivirus software. before you say, yes, consoles also get viruses, but that's extremely rare compared to PC, in fact, your more likely to cripple your PC more than the PS5, Xbox X, and Switch combined.

  • NerdHolly NerdHolly (@NerdHolly) reported

    @MattyG131 @ModernWarzone @Xbox that issue is more up to the developers sadly

  • Vikingboar Vikingboar (@Vikingboar) reported

    @GVBiohazard Ya know, despite the XSS, XSX and PS5 systems naturally having launch issues, I find this gen to have started better than last gen, since there was no backwards compatibility on Xbox One and PS4 originally. But yes, there needed to be a solid launch lineup for both.

  • ranger_rapid Rapid_Ranger (@ranger_rapid) reported

    @Killer_B____M16 @kunaiss @backfromdead16 I agree with this, I don't really care either and I won't miss broken messes and relying on the community to fix them, let Xbox have them. Plus if I really want to play one, then I'll just get it on PC. But yeah this individual is right, there's definitely some ponies who want

  • iDizzy81 Kevin Alexander (@iDizzy81) reported

    The new headsets are great, but what we really need is a fix to the controller connectivity. Otherwise we will have these disconnecting as often as controllers randomly do. @Xbox @jronald

  • haveyouseen01 HaveYouSeen (@haveyouseen01) reported

    @Oti09280470 @PISamuray Well we know VRS Tier 1 looks like ***, we don’t know if Dirt is using quality or performance setting for Xbox and the game was clearly poorly made in general with PS5 and Xbox having lighting issues and inconsistent performances from track to track. But still a fun game.

  • jmotivator Ackchyually Joe (@jmotivator) reported

    @Patriot_Musket Exactly, minimum wage is meant to teach kids the value of working by giving them enough to save for an Xbox, if you are an adult making minimum wage the problem is you, not the law.

  • SauRoN_ZA Shaun  (@SauRoN_ZA) reported

    @CaptionBarbosa @Uberutang @CaV1E Apparently there is an interference and range problem with the Xbox tech which is why I didn’t get a 9X. The other differentiator being the Bluetooth but I already had enough of those. Official Xbox headset at least cheap enough to be fine as a dedicated unit.

  • NeekoFrenchie Neeko in French brb (@NeekoFrenchie) reported

    @AYuntitled If you see devices like the Razer new xbox headset they have kinda the same idea and I heard people loved the Razer headset the problem would be in another devices tbh

  • grambo1980 Neil (@grambo1980) reported

    @richbrad38 @Xbox @LucidSoundAudio I think they are finally starting to work on a fix for that

  • ForXbone WirelessMicForXbone (@ForXbone) reported

    @chyld989 @majornelson The really confusing thing is why they think a headset needs a trailer? Hopefully someone at Xbox hq will say hang on a sec, and notice they still don't have a working wireless mic and fix that.

  • zrd92490 Ryan GoFett24 #IndyHatGang (@zrd92490) reported

    @VolkanDogru_18 @Xbox @shinobi602 Two of my friends got the pulse 3D headset and I would echo every time I spoke. They ended up returning them. Hope Sony can fix that

  • SatiricFX Quentin Johnston (@SatiricFX) reported

    @majornelson Nice. Ordered! Finally. I hope it is seamless to switch between Windows 10 and Xbox. Also hopefully it doesn’t interfere with another Xbox wireless headset I have that uses a dongle. It causes problems with another Xbox wireless headset i have.

  • CaptionBarbosa Alessandro Barbosa (@CaptionBarbosa) reported

    @CaV1E @Uberutang Well that was always the issue with the marketing of the original Arctis 7. It was true wireless with PC and PS4, but had to be hooked into the controller on Xbox. Getting the sense here that the dongle is the difference, and it just supports both

  • CMccruter manman mac (@CMccruter) reported

    @GametechUK @AerosoftGmbH It’s crazy that ur give us a better insight on the game and ur not the dev they haven’t said nt and the Xbox patch were just waiting we paid for the game. Hopping for a gd game and update and there nt and no steering wheel that’s crazy I’m not giving up on I just hope they fix it

  • jeremyfriddle Jeremy Riddle (@jeremyfriddle) reported

    @Xbox What I wanna know is if they have the same connection issues that the turtle beach stealth has?

  • UnravelledTruth Leroy (@UnravelledTruth) reported

    @CraigRiffInSix @BethesdaSupport I'm experiencing the exact same issue on my Xbox One @BethesdaSupport

  • RyanImus5 Ryan Imus (@RyanImus5) reported

    @TaylorDobey @Xbox The wireless steel series headphones were mad unstable though, following connection issues and even battery defects for some, the turtle beaches for me anyway, have been decent at best

  • PhxntomPlanet Christian (@PhxntomPlanet) reported

    @joshmunsee Need to fix the Xbox protocol so it stops dropping headsets.

  • Cutesteph0262 Cutesteph026 (@Cutesteph0262) reported

    @WillyWombat09 @XboxSupport I had the same kind of issues with my account earlier today but I got it fixed by this guy on instagram he is fast and reliable,I think you should contact him on instagram @cyber_sec12

  • NeekoFrenchie Neeko in French brb (@NeekoFrenchie) reported

    @AYuntitled I think that they use the Xbox wireless protocol for Xbox and bluetooth for other devices the problem would be in devices like windows were sound quality and latency could be pretty bad

  • CodyyR6 codyy (@CodyyR6) reported

    @SaiinR6 @AzerR6_ i think the glitch is only on PS4 seen no videos on it about xbox

  • illhelpyougg Jeremiah Wallace (@illhelpyougg) reported

    @DB_Dev_ Flying is still lagging on Xbox

  • CaptionBarbosa Alessandro Barbosa (@CaptionBarbosa) reported

    @Uberutang @CaV1E Xbox doesn't support any dongles that aren't using their wireless standard, while Sony supports any 2.4GHz dongle. That's the issue

  • MHbtw_ cLaw MH (@MHbtw_) reported

    @k_zai7 An Xbox controller 😭 been playing with a broken one for so long

  • weinmer3 weinmer (@weinmer3) reported

    @FortniteStatus Still didn’t fix my Xbox series s frame drops ggs tho lmao
