Xbox Live Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • LdRoger1 GOLdROGER1PIECE (@LdRoger1) reported

    @SkillUpYT Problem is that except for Xbox and Nintendo every other company could have just fit their presentation in one tweet.

  • JellyJellyHam JellyJellyHam 🍻 (@JellyJellyHam) reported

    Anyone else having Alexa issues with their Xbox in the last few days?

  • Rickyboy5211 Enrique Rivera (@Rickyboy5211) reported

    @Xbox Make people register their Xbox gamer tag prior to purchase, and then make it so that for the first year, no other gamertag can be the primary account on the console. Easy fix to the scalping problem.

  • tom_d57 Tom (@tom_d57) reported

    @PrestigeIsKey Dude my update on Xbox is 194 gigabytes… is it a glitch?

  • Samurai_C Christopher Scott (@Samurai_C) reported

    Microsoft is showing day by day they don't care about their @Xbox console brand anymore they're pushing consumers into that Xbox game pass subscription service scam and no sign of Xbox series x restocking announcement. don't think i'll be looking at them in the near future.

  • DuBTGameZ DuBTGameZ (@DuBTGameZ) reported

    However on an Xbox controller, it feels really unnatural, especially if you’ve been using X to boost and B to stomp in games like Generations and Forces. So for the love of god Sega, please, either fix this, or give us an option to change our controls

  • DSparkysHimself DSparkys (@DSparkysHimself) reported

    @RavenSoftware @Activision Has anyone else noticed how unfair the fov is on pc compared to PlayStation and Xbox. All I’m saying is why add cross play if it’s not fair and even besides the frame comparison anyway. @Activision fix your game please 🙏🏻

  • Cyber_Orbit Andrew Toi Drylie (@Cyber_Orbit) reported

    @Tuco_Mando As it is now, PS5 and the series X aren't worth getting. It'll be a while before the games make worthy use of all the new gimmicks and specs, and there are going to be hardware/software issues they'll need to sort out (like the xbox's red ring). Give it another year for fixes ect

  • bacquekg k (@bacquekg) reported

    @ComplexMinded Ced or they gonna fix lag in the gen 2 missions i have a 1000 gig internet and the xbox x series and the missions or horrible

  • TheGamerGalKait TheGamerGalKait (@TheGamerGalKait) reported

    @discord @XboxSupport your connection is not working i am not on my xbox anymore but it still shows that i am on when i am not for about 15 mins now this has been going on and off for awhile.

  • SuperMuffinKing Patches (@SuperMuffinKing) reported

    Okay, so my Xbox One X was having trouble downloading, I restarted it and now I'm back to the E101 and 102 error, the usb method won't work, factory reset won't work, is it the hard drive? It's out of warranty and MS wants almost $450 cad for service, I don't know what to do :(

  • abestar777 Abe (@abestar777) reported

    @JayTechTV4K60 Fair to say Xbox in a bit of trouble

  • master1_dabbing Bruhaps_mcnasty (@master1_dabbing) reported

    @Xbox fix your ******* controllers you make them from cheap plastic and they get stick drift easily like come on worth millions and can't even make a good controller.

  • xTGE_Youtube Matthias 💥 (@xTGE_Youtube) reported

    @Tyler94119562 @johnnyjl96 @Kotaku I just don't understand why there isn't room for both the PC and console. The PlayStation system will die out before the Xbox does. Gamepass is the superior service bringing in about 300mil a month which is more than enough to support the development of consoles.

  • kevenscotti 🚀Team No Pants 🇺🇸 🚀 (@kevenscotti) reported

    @XboxGamePass when’s the DLC for Xbox owned studios going to be free? Seems odd to pay for a service to play @xbox games, and then be asked to pay for the DLC. Shouldn’t that be included with the monthly service? #E32021

  • DjBasA38 DjBasA (@DjBasA38) reported

    @invader__alu @Jaws_16 @XboxGamePassPC The Xbox PC app actually just tells the Microsoft Store to download it's games. Hence why not every game is on Game Pass PC thats on the Console portion of the service, not every pc game has a Microsoft Store version.

  • FerdBERD89 Ford (@FerdBERD89) reported

    @Behaviour could you please address the DBD issues on xbox one menu? I have to completely close the game after every match to play with my friend again. It keeps not showing him readying up when he is on his end, or it shows that to the other, he or I am in a match. Help!

  • vertixscribe VertixScribe (@vertixscribe) reported

    Between Nintendo and Square, nothing made me more interested in new IP or new games, or even a subscription service, more than the #XboxBethesda Game Showcase. I’m seriously considering Xbox Game Pass because of that show. And I don’t even own an X|S!

  • ColemanSGRB Coleman (@ColemanSGRB) reported

    @playrustconsole is there anything I can do to try and fix the insane constant game crashes for Xbox?

  • marcovictory18 marcovictory18 (@marcovictory18) reported

    @XboxSupport anyone having issues with lfg were they are interested in your post but when you check zero are interested anyone else having this problem?

  • Strong_Arms_ Senator Armstrong (@Strong_Arms_) reported

    @ShylaNesthorn @minnie_mag If you're comming solely from pc, it's pretty easy to manage. The problem with the switch port is that they swapped the button layout from the xbox and playstation port.

  • korylee6 kory lee (@korylee6) reported

    to Xbox dashboard second game on dev error third game on memory error… you guys seriously know how to ruin a good brand I hope battlefield smash you off the face of the earth with their next release

  • KermitDerFrog KermitDerFrog (@KermitDerFrog) reported

    @susiebestlegion @wereisEldenring @DeadByBHVR Certainly in the eyes of a Xbox killer I can’t play the game when I’m against pc survivors it’s ****** up I love this game so much but I literally can’t go against them they are the sweatiest people go on and say cry a River but this is a legitimate problem

  • Mersade41527837 Mersadez (@Mersade41527837) reported

    @DeadByBHVR Is anyone having issues with matchmaking? I'm paying on Xbox one and I got through two games then all of a sudden I can't get into any. I load in matchmaking until it times out or says there was a matchmaking error. I've tried everything to fix it, restarting the game,1/2

  • Arkwright99 David Mosley (@Arkwright99) reported

    @Darian32169500 @Kyle98Cal @assassinscreed Or maybe players who say Stealth is broken are lousy sneaks. If the people complaining are PS5, Xbox or PC players I’ll entertain the notion that Stealth is broken on those platforms. If they’re PS4 players, link me a YT video showing the problem because I’m just not seeing it.

  • treyslizewski oh (@treyslizewski) reported

    @vetrix_tron @XenomorphGames1 This isn’t even ps4 issue only either, it is happening on xbox and PC too.

  • DubbdOut Obey | Dubbd OuT (@DubbdOut) reported

    Welp got the glitch on Xbox where I have to download the entire 194 GB that is Cold War XD Big RIP but I may see you all later after Loki if its done

  • 10Efraaaa Efrain Ruiz⚽ (@10Efraaaa) reported from Guttenberg, New Jersey

    @BandaiNamcoUS Ok cool. But Fix the issues please @XboxSupport @Xbox

  • PupusaJr PupusaJr (@PupusaJr) reported

    @YellingMadman Man's found 1 glitch, not even close to gamebreaking, and said "lemme try and make xbox look good" then paid to promote it! Go back to playing the Medium at 28fps and 900p.

  • johkungo Johkungo (@johkungo) reported
