Xbox Live Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • theblissybee blissybee (@theblissybee) reported

    @BR_Soule I have mixed feelings. Microsoft and xbox has the same gross problems as activision blizzard. I feel so bad for the women

  • TheNCSmaster TheNCSmaster (@TheNCSmaster) reported

    @JonComms If Xbox treats Crash and Spyro with respect and maybe even revives Banjo, Nintendo legitimately may have some competition for their "king of platformers" titles

  • ayaxalvarado Ayax Alvarado (@ayaxalvarado) reported

    @zuko538 @ArthurMingo1 @DiscussingFilm I’m talking about early like PS1 staples. Crash and Spyro are PS exclusives (mainly because Xbox wasn’t a thing) but even when MW (2007) was released Activision and Microsoft had a deal that DLC’s would be available for Xbox first and a week later for PS users

  • SaveAmongUs Dear YouTube, get the dislike button back. (@SaveAmongUs) reported

    @PUBG fix your game. On Xbox you can't get past the tutorial and on PC and I can't change it. PUBG the worst game ever can't believe ever spend money on this game.

  • codyvasy Thizz (@codyvasy) reported

    do you really wanna play spyro or crash bandicoot on 2.4gbps #xbox slow ssd speed. or on 5.5gbps #ps5 speed. and whats it matter if the engine is designed for the slower ssd. shame.

  • Gequalsmas Gequalsmas (@Gequalsmas) reported

    @FLitz @Xbox I kinda had a feeling somone was going to buy them out with all the issues they were having. I just dodnt know who was going to buy them out specifically.

  • Xx_Boone_xX Boone (@Xx_Boone_xX) reported

    @Sniper2k6 @TylerLacroix @SpawnWaveMedia I love your baseless narrative that spawnwave is a xbox shill, but honestly I doubt the base price will go up. They want more subs, not turn players off with a high price. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a Activision addon to the base service though, like Amazon prime video.

  • mattcomnick Matt Comnick (@mattcomnick) reported

    So Xbox owns Crash Bandicoot now? #xbox #Activision #gaming

  • byChristoBlack Christo (@byChristoBlack) reported

    Any #Xbox gamers on here? Is it just me, or does every *NEW* controller (after original Xbox One) have issues with at least one of the core four buttons? On one, the “Y” button doesn’t register unless you push it super hard. On another, (Elite 2) it’s the “A” button. Garbage.😕

  • tarunmrl Tarun (@tarunmrl) reported

    @TheCraftOfGames @XboxInfinite117 So, according to your logic buying games is good, Not studios. FYI. Xbox will now finance all bethesda and future call of duty projects, so you have no problem in bethesda and Activision games exclusive to xbox eco system .

  • uthestoryteller D (@uthestoryteller) reported

    I swear though, if this means a Crash Bash remake is exclusive to Xbox... I'm gonna lose it!!

  • teknolojesus Antonio (@teknolojesus) reported

    @Xbox @ATVI_AB aight, cancel overwatch 2 and fix og overwtach, i miss it

  • LtCameron88 Lieutenant Cameron-088 (@LtCameron88) reported

    @Napster6 @Xbox @ATVI_AB Yes, games like Crash and maybe Overwatch I could see. Crash is a big mascot, and Overwatch is mostly played on PC. COD Though? No. There are more PS players on COD than Xbox AND PC. They literally would kill COD. Maybe a game like BO: Declassified, but not the main ones

  • CannotFitUserna Matt (@CannotFitUserna) reported

    @arvalis @Xbox @ATVI_AB If this were 25 years ago, then Microsoft would probably be in trouble, but because the government doesn’t seem to care about anti-trust laws anymore, Disney can get away with buying half of every film IP and Microsoft can get away with buying the whole gaming industry.

  • nikoslionheart N7niko|Arch-Niko: Agent Cooper Arc (@nikoslionheart) reported

    @Zwanguy We need to see the full fruition of the prior Acquisition before we can really say anything about the games for this one. We haven’t gotten anything really NEW from Xbox’s Bethesda buyout. Just access to games on a pre existing service.

  • MasterPonies △ ○ × □ Master Ponies (@MasterPonies) reported

    @FilipkoPatrik Never have a problem with Microsoft pal. Xbox is different ****

  • cheeseSanders Noah (@cheeseSanders) reported

    @Xbox @ATVI_AB So are you the ones going to fix warzone

  • SaveAmongUs Dear YouTube, get the dislike button back. (@SaveAmongUs) reported

    @PUBG fix your game. On Xbox you can't get past the tutorial and on PC and I can't change it. PUBG the worst game ever can't believe ever spend money on this game.

  • Butt50103734 Butt (@Butt50103734) reported

    @Xbox @ATVI_AB Make a banjo kazzio game with the makers of crash bandicoot remakes it could be the 3 game or a remake

  • Toast_Bogard Toast Bogard (@Toast_Bogard) reported

    @xMBGx Lip service...again, I feel like any game that PS had a contract for will release for their system... anything after that, Xbox/PC

  • KingdomZerox9 Ronny J Dump's A Lot (@KingdomZerox9) reported

    @zero_the_clown @JeffGrubb I think the thing to look at is Sony's Gamepass equivalent. Bethesda+Activision buyouts are to bolster Xbox Gamepass. If Sony's gonna have Day 1 releases on their service they've gotta have some big stuff locked down outside of 1st party.

  • ryuu_1320 hinatalove_ (@ryuu_1320) reported

    @MOJ0K3R @charlieINTEL How is this merger a antitrust issue? On paper its Microsoft x Activision merger but in reality its xbox x Activision merger . Game IP's are unique and don't pose a antitrust threat to any other game dev company plus game dev merger/selling/buying/dissolving is common af .

  • A_Big_Boss Luis Mtz (@A_Big_Boss) reported

    @Sisslethecat The deal closes in late June 2023, sooner or later, that's plenty of time before they can clear all "exclusives titles" issue with the people, at least, in the COD community, there are more people playing under PS second by PC than Xbox, and I'm not gonna move to Xbox for MW3...

  • EsM_09 Everardo (@EsM_09) reported

    @MichaelETenner @AustonMarner2 @nytimes Aw that sucks for Mac users, but steam does have a couple of Xbox games on it but if they don't work, Xbox should try to fix it, or it could be Apple being ******** since it's Microsoft

  • Flogprog Dylan Flogprog (@Flogprog) reported

    @bil_ias @nmricks15 @DarthSateus Yeah they have to. The Xbox name is now tied to those allegations, so they absolutely have to solve some issues at least

  • baitbarb_s3 Baitbarb. (@baitbarb_s3) reported

    @cloxic They have Crash AND Spyro. Imagine telling that to hardcore PS fans 20 years ago? They could do Xbox All Stars and have Crash vs Spyro vs Banjo Kazooie vs Doom Guy.

  • hazytoucan Hazy@BBCF ROLLBACK BABYYYY🕹️🐍🐦 (@hazytoucan) reported

    @wrobeIek sadly they'll most likely be XBox and PC only from now on tho there's also a possibility of them coming to Switch due to Microsoft and Nintendo being friendly w/ each other, though it will depend on how demanding these games will be granted, N-Sane, RT and Crash 4 are on Switch

  • bil_ias bil ias (@bil_ias) reported

    @Flogprog @nmricks15 @DarthSateus Xbox gonna fix Activision baby

  • DoctorMarshy KennyKuznetsov (@DoctorMarshy) reported

    @Xbox @ATVI_AB this is the most based **** i’ve ever seen Xbox do. they don’t tolerate how awful that company is toward employees and gamers? they just buy them and fix the company themselves. love to see it

  • Mr_Mungo Capper Dan (@Mr_Mungo) reported

    @whenimzoned Man that **** stuck on my Xbox gamer tag so I can’t sign in unless I change my Xbox ****.
