  • ABowles1221 mr. receipts (@ABowles1221) reported

    @XboxSupport I haven't had any issues at all but I agree something have to change because I would have been pissed!

  • Jett_330 Jett_330 (@Jett_330) reported

    @Problym_Chyld @JGODYT @ModernWarzone I have the opposite problem with xbox series x... since caldera integration nothing feels right on series x, especially aim assist. It feels non existent.

  • _michaelgleason Michael “Feeling Frantic” Gleason (@_michaelgleason) reported from Flint, Michigan

    @Xbox Please fix the shoulder buttons, @Xbox. I’ve been through three of these now with the LB and RB buttons eventually becoming unresponsive. I’m not even that heavy of a gamer, and I always store the controller in its case. It’s a design flaw, and you know it.

  • FlyshineStarz Flyshine~ 💫 (@FlyshineStarz) reported

    Should I send in my Xbox Series S console for repair if one game isn't fixed due to crashing/freezing every time I play, despite having to be a in-game issue? No matter what I try it won't resolve the issue and Activision Support and Beenox hasn't replied back to me yet about it.

  • j_zagamacarena J_Macarena (@j_zagamacarena) reported

    @FuzziThaBear @kevinchadwick55 @Xbox I’ve really enjoyed the playing experience with paddles but the one issue I had with mine was the bumper. I love the controller though and they did replace it without issue.

  • kenmroberts Darkrride (@kenmroberts) reported

    @Xbox I would be nice if a good controller could fix a bad game.

  • NorthPole773 Angel Brown (@NorthPole773) reported

    @JoeFUT21 @GameCentral You need to set your Xbox as the “home” console in order for the digital game to play. If your Xbox isn’t the “home” console. Then, ether wait till they fix the issue or buy the game under YOUR account.

  • LungSlug Kenneth Kennedy (@LungSlug) reported

    @_Westgarth_ @rentadawg1 @StarboyHsp It told me to sign into the account that owned the game, while I was signed in on the account that owned the game. I got horrible wifi where I live so when it goes out occasionally my Xbox gives that message. And it's configured as my home Xbox. It's not often but still an issue.

  • sk3ley Sk3ley (@sk3ley) reported

    @PlayApex Hey, letting you know that it has been 41 days since the new gen update, which ****** up game chat for only Xbox Series S-X players, not being able to communicate with other players from other platforms is quite frustrating, voice cutting out, voice sped up, & etc. please fix.

  • Sir_Danno Dan (@Sir_Danno) reported

    @Xbox Having hot swappable joysticks, I’m talking the whole mechanism, would fix the biggest issue with controllers. Joysticks are always the first thing to fail, regardless of how nice the materials are. Maybe for the Elite V3?

  • CreepycreeperMw CreepycreeperMw (@CreepycreeperMw) reported

    @XboxSupport I cant use my account! The Xbox Apps dont load and when I load games who are dependent on Xbox Live I get an Error saying that there is an problem with my account. When I load the Xbox App it displays "Login!"everywhere and when I click on ANY Login button nothing happens.🔽

  • CreepycreeperMw CreepycreeperMw (@CreepycreeperMw) reported

    @XboxSupport on my pc. I have been waiting 2 days and missed an onetime event that was planned 3 weeks ago. I have never seen such bad service of you. I have Xbox Gamepass Ultimate and I got no access to anything either. For what am I even paying?

  • FuzziThaBear Fuzzi Tha Bear (@FuzziThaBear) reported

    @j_zagamacarena @kevinchadwick55 @Xbox I love the controller as well. I went through Best Buy and got their warranty. Been able to replace it without any issues

  • kutdownOngaming Kutdown on Gaming (@kutdownOngaming) reported

    @MldGhost Bruh smh, you can play ps games offline unlike Xbox! Sony listened to its players! Unlike Xbox that basically said we don’t care, we DRM every title! My entire library from Xbox 360 to present was void! I don’t have that issue with ps, even GT7 has offline

  • BiffMcSkylark 🜏 Dave LaBeef 🕹️🏳️‍🌈💍🏳️‍⚧️ (@BiffMcSkylark) reported

    So 'Into the Pit' is soft locked on my Xbox due to an input change I made in options and 'Enter the Gungeon' has broken boss graphic placement on Xbox. Not really digging the quality control I'm finding on some of these indie ports 🙃

  • MeyerRants MeyerTechRants (@MeyerRants) reported

    @Kenjionigod @Wario64 Vita storage was awful. Yeah, I'm glad too. At least Xbox can still fix this. The card form factor *is* convenient. If they just open it up and make the Xbox expandable storage competitive, they'll have the best expandable storage solution. Until that, it's kind of awful.

  • iiSamWise Sam (@iiSamWise) reported

    @alphaINTEL I notice there's no mention of the game chat problems for new gen Xbox consoles. Wow.

  • Cryptic_Vyper Cryptic_Vyper (Bryttany Messina) (@Cryptic_Vyper) reported

    @Lefteex1 @MldGhost Sony solved the issue by not having online DRM and just having the license stored on console, which is the most felxible method since you can install a game on PS, take it offline for 100 years and the game will work, Xbox online DRM, take it offline, games lock in short time.

  • J0HNNY77 Johnny (@J0HNNY77) reported

    @MldGhost It's not a huge deal until it becomes a huge deal. I hope Xbox does listen otherwise what will happen if the outage lasted weeks?

  • Decodonize DECODONIZE aka GeekSavFat-T (Xbox Player) (@Decodonize) reported

    @JezCorden It was fine. My daughter's Series S is my Home Xbox. And we could play all our games on it. Them and me. My Series X however did suffer from this issue. That being because my Series X is their Home Xbox. "So we can game share". But the game discs worked in the Series X just fine.

  • AJ_scuba Alan Harris (@AJ_scuba) reported

    @MSFSofficial Will the shocking performance issues be resolved by then? On Xbox particularly?

  • leerobi08433142 lee robinson (@leerobi08433142) reported

    @XboxSupport the amazon prime app isnt working and im having trouble with the disney pluss app aswell today

  • lotusblacksmith Lotusblacksmith (@lotusblacksmith) reported

    @xISuPaCIx @Xbox I had my first series 2 for about 2+ years before I had a problem and it was really just a single bumper messing up. Drift was hardly noticeable the whole time. Grips are no longer a problem as they are directly attached versus the series 1 that had lose grips

  • Execution17 Carey P (@Execution17) reported

    @KillmongerXXL @marlisjun That's one thing I hate about xbox is they announce games waaaaaay to early and some end up having development issues

  • ronald25granad1 Ronald Granados (@ronald25granad1) reported

    @PlayApex On Xbox there is still the problem in game chat , microphones are not working and people from other consoles can't hear us , party chat on Xbox works fine

  • GiJack147 GiJack (@GiJack147) reported

    @a2_xander Same issue is on Xbox one, yay

  • TxTSaint Saint (@TxTSaint) reported

    @XboxSupport Please also fix this drm deficiency. This should serve as a warning. I have 500 + digital games. Don't want a future where I somehow can't play them

  • DarkGyraen Chris Marasky (@DarkGyraen) reported

    @MldGhost I would definitely not downplay the issue, the Xbox DRM issue really is a big deal that Microsoft needs to address. That so many players didn't have access to their games for that period of time is unacceptable. What it isn't is the end of the world though as many seem to think.

  • TH040217 T (@TH040217) reported

    Warzone has not supported 120 FPS on #XboxSeriesX for over 5 months now. This is an issue on both @Xbox @Microsoft side and @RavenSoftware yet they refuse to partner and work together to resolve it.

  • colindawson13 Colin (@colindawson13) reported

    @MldGhost That in itself is the difference between the Xbox and Playstation communities. Xbox fans will actually say this needs fixing where as Playstation fans will start to defend Sony for the outage.
