Xbox Live Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • younghavok Kennedy Clark (@younghavok) reported

    @Griggity But… you could still play all your games single player or offline without issue. That wasn’t the case for a lot of Xbox players.

  • Ashton33349493 YOU GOT BUNS I GOT ASSBURGERS (@Ashton33349493) reported

    @samzsepulveda @XboxSupport Thats your issue because its working just fine

  • SamFisher09 Andrew #BlackLivesMatter (@SamFisher09) reported

    @BehaartAmStart @oldmategamer We never had an outage like this. It's our first time. Yesterday I was able to play Destiny for a few hours. So it's on and off at the moment. The positive thing that might come out of this is that Xbox fixed their DRM issue to make the Ecosystem even better.

  • Sn0rchblapp Sn0rchblapp is Sucked Up (@Sn0rchblapp) reported

    @RaymondTracing @XboxSupport Thing is, this wasn't the first time. I recall having the same issue with my One X and since all my games were digital I couldn't play anything. So if that was my One X, it would have been some time between 2017 and 2019, 2019 being when I jumped to PS.

  • JazzynupeXbox Jazzynupe.Xbox (@JazzynupeXbox) reported

    @XBot448 I mentioned it before, but they have the home Xbox feature as well. Not sure if this issue was outside of that but the home Xbox should have a license for downloads. If you "game share" then that is the root of an issue with that.

  • _Ladonnaqueen LADONNA (@_Ladonnaqueen) reported

    @Alejandroid1979 Aren't all consoles DRM machines, isn't this a console specific problem rather than xbox?

  • Crxptic16 Cryptic (@Crxptic16) reported

    @cubandeathryder @OhNoItsAlexx Well, after this weekends fiasco they need to change it, I understand game pass and free to play games, but not your paid games, it’s unacceptable. Whilst I didn’t face issues with this, I will still support for a change to be made as 99% of my games are digital on Xbox.

  • Perfidy_X Perfidy (@Perfidy_X) reported

    @WOOLLEY_GAMER Yep and that Is why I don't own a Xbox console anymore call me a PlayStation fanboy I don't care because common sense tells u PlayStation is the right choice....never had an issue playing any of my digital game purchases even when PSN is down on Ps3/Ps4.

  • veejalvandijk Vijay Singh Bedesha (@veejalvandijk) reported

    @XboxSupport hey, I’m getting an error when trying to open Fifa on Xbox Series S. can you help please?

  • AmyGrrl78 AmyGrrl (@AmyGrrl78) reported

    @XboxSupport Fix Your **** XBOX! Its Still Broken!

  • TheRealKingRamz Jesse (@TheRealKingRamz) reported

    @XboxSupport I’m having a problem on my Series X where my games I’ve installed on my Storage Expansion Card are not showing up in my Games & Apps section now . What should I do ?

  • AustinBeck1216 Austin Beck (@AustinBeck1216) reported

    @jordan_colon238 @nalvare9 @SpawnWaveMedia Could be related to account sharing (something Microsoft even encourages) since if you try to ice a state rat isn’t your home system without an internet connection or connection to Xbox Live it will give you the same error people were getting during the ‘outage’. Mine played fine

  • MohamedRwanduzy Mohammed Salh ☀️ (@MohamedRwanduzy) reported

    @thicc_stick_boi I highly doubt there is a large number of Xbox owners defending this. I have seen nothing but “Microsoft Yallah get rid of your DRM and fix it” takes. I think we are confusing Xbox fans with SONY fanboys

  • frickinlazers BigJimSlade (@frickinlazers) reported

    @XboxSupport Still have the issue.

  • Tito_910 Timo (@Tito_910) reported

    @Xbox Please bring Crash 4 to Steam and retire the BattleNet Launcher (after the AB deal is done)👀 It's about time I finally play this game.🥺

  • Jkarl313 J k (@Jkarl313) reported

    @RangerONE_SC @mikee0508 It don't matter you still have to sign in to verify the game and some game won't play without xbox live connection. Its has drm a problem you can look it up its the same with xbox one I just got a refund from best buy was a disappointment

  • RivalIndigo Rival Indigo (@RivalIndigo) reported

    If not for Twitter I would have never know there was some sort of outage. Used my Xbox fine the whole time, and it's not even set to my home console cause I share my games with my brother.

  • westley_hill Westley Hill (@westley_hill) reported

    @XboxSupport Can anybody help me out Xbox customer service is trash I’m still having the same issue for the third day in a row

  • sharmake25 SomalianGamer (@sharmake25) reported

    @fabregaspastore @The_Socko @GTS_Tweets I think people had an issue with the assertion that GP games continue to sell well on xbox even though the game is on GP for free...never made sense to me but i completely understand the big deal from xbox being very profitable to studios who otherwise would not get the shine.

  • Markis5150 Markis5150🎮⚾🍕🎵 (@Markis5150) reported

    @HardDaysMike @Xbox @XboxP3 Thats why I've been playing my games over the last few days during the outage? Look if you follow directions I dunno what to trll you. I plsyed a variety of purchased games offline. Maybe next time follow directions more closely over screaming like a 2 year old mmmmmk.

  • Jamesdad76 Andrew (@Jamesdad76) reported

    @The100Unicorn @TakeThisL18 @jacobwins You’re trying to draw a false equivalence between two completely different things. For no reason. Why do you give a **** about an Xbox live outage that isn’t affecting you. Enough to make dozens of posts about it? Just another dumb *** console warrior with nothing to do.

  • AustinBeck1216 Austin Beck (@AustinBeck1216) reported

    @PhallicThimble @SpawnWaveMedia Yeah, I myself am not defending Microsoft, just stating that it isn’t hitting everyone and likely isn’t related to DRM. There certainly is DRM on Xbox, no doubt, but something else is causing the game playing issue going on. How many of these people use game sharing?

  • connormull72 Connor Mullaney (@connormull72) reported

    @assassinscreed im having trouble getting achievements to pop on assassins creed valhalla on xbox, any fixes?

  • DavidJu36597805 David Justice (@DavidJu36597805) reported

    @jvanparker @XboxSupport Microsoft has been saying for 2 days that the issue on their side. Why would you delete anything? Lol.

  • LittleDoggoBark LittleDoggo (@LittleDoggoBark) reported

    @hlv6302 @Cloaked_Onyx @Xbox What happens when Xbox One/Series is unsupported later down the line and go offline for good? Should we go outside for infinity and never play our PAID games again? You seem to miss the point of the issue, and not everyone just games 24/7 some people wanna play after work.

  • DoesItPlay1 Does it play? (@DoesItPlay1) reported

    @JezCorden For everyone’s sake it Would be good to continue to push Xbox to fix the heinous usage of drm rather than passing the blame.

  • GregT04660768 GregT (@GregT04660768) reported

    @Logmey92 @XboxP3 @Xbox U guys outside of new jersey got it bad. My xbox service is fine. It had to be only u ppl close to them storms. Nobody in NY nj delaware areas got this problem

  • DoesItPlay1 Does it play? (@DoesItPlay1) reported

    @JezCorden Literally 99.9% of purchased Nintendo and PlayStation 4/5 single player games NEVER have to be connected again once downloaded / installed. This issue is sadly extremely linked to Xbox.

  • johnrobertd John (@johnrobertd) reported

    @Jackskii @GethElder @vicious696 Looks like they changed the policy recently so that’s good for you people. It says right on that page you need to be on the home console to play offline if there is a network outage. Either way, i wouldn’t complain about games on your non home xbox not working for a few hours.

  • 82_stubba K stubba (@82_stubba) reported

    @marlisjun I had not had 1 problem playing any xbox games yesterday,don't think this outage was for everyone
