  • HolyTaco4 HolyTaco (@HolyTaco4) reported

    @ZolotojKrokodil @UCHIHANAGAT0 @SnapBlastPLAY Seems like they were having money problems cause they don’t have enough good ******* exclusives and the game pass idea that they’re taking from Xbox they’re charging even more money than what Xbox is charging not consumer friendly at all not to mention it has less games then GP

  • ground_kate Kate Ground (@ground_kate) reported

    @sarshelyam @mikelooowery @PlayStation I am as normal kore than happy the fact wete still getting this type of games with the new service while most xbox people blame game pass for why MS give away crap each month

  • TethisX TethisX (@TethisX) reported

    @Oti09280470 Xbox became profitable last year and they showed proof. Stop this fan boy crap. This year everyone is pulling back due to what’s happening in the world. People are spending smarter due to increased prices across the board. It’s not a Xbox issue. It’s a everybody problem.

  • Crazdude Crazdude Dealz @ #megaplex2022 DD table 41 (@Crazdude) reported

    @TeaRexee Eee! Yes!! I'm trying to get it to work on XBox and failing hard thanks to some sort of server issue aaa! Guess I'll play on Mac in the meantime! 🦕

  • Pawgba Evan Gilkey (@Pawgba) reported

    @HogWhisperER501 I like that last one. I would always have to do a glitch with my Xbox to get in sessions by myself

  • SativaUser Patrick (@SativaUser) reported

    @ATVIAssist Can't join or even load Call of Duty Warzone for Xbox One, fix your stupid ****** *** servers you ******* *****, **** you

  • RickyOplinger Ricky Oplinger (@RickyOplinger) reported

    @PlayApex listen. EA support is useless I just want back into apex. I can prove my account by trying to sign in through Xbox and getting an error but the stupid EA account has an old email address that I can no longer access. Can I please get some help? This **** is ridiculous.

  • bal55fool Walter Judd (@bal55fool) reported

    @TheSurvivalBob @hellogames @NoMansSky Have they fixed the crossplay mismatch issue? I would prefer to play on my Xbox Series X. But if not I can move upstairs to my PC.

  • OkamiNoAnbu_ Okami NoAnbu (@OkamiNoAnbu_) reported

    Can @Xbox fix this bullshit where I post a LFG and get 10-20 advertising messages about bots,follow instagrams, get ranked help, and other bs. Like bro no one is gonna wanna use yalls service

  • rdurbin313 Robert Durbin (@rdurbin313) reported

    @BlackIsleStudio I should also add this crash seems to be very similar to the red fang cave crash near the start of game that was fixed. It freezes for a split second at loading screen and than crashes to xbox home screen. I am unable to progress in the game.

  • yeo_mvs yeo (@yeo_mvs) reported

    tried a rematch, the game would kick us out or would lag and never enter the second game. Party invitations took too long to arrive, and when someone joined, they were unable to select a character. My friends were playing in Xbox and Playstation while I was playing on PC. It 2/3

  • TurnBasedCarl Turn Based Carl (@TurnBasedCarl) reported

    @NanoPolymath @GTS_Tweets I still don't know what you're trying to say. Xbox Live Gold is the base subscription, with it you get GwG. Xbox Live has a free membership that gets you an account with which you can login into games like Minecraft, etc. That's not generating revenue that's just the platform.

  • prosperousslave Thedareos (@prosperousslave) reported

    @Orangeblood503 @Abriael Xbox sold off a side of their business that still leaves them outmaneuvered in releasing AAA content. Despite having the service game in a chokehold… a first party effectively all multi platform developers now.

  • Brkumusic BRKU (@Brkumusic) reported

    @alpha_wolf319 @iamalitayyeb Idk man but Playstation has better quality then quantity But Xbox has its issues so does playstation but Playstation has the higher leverage with quality studios. Don’t get me wrong Xbox does too u have Bethesda. But in the end we are still handing our money to corporates.

  • SickTv4k Mr. Toxic 🇭🇹🇻🇮 (@SickTv4k) reported

    @king_249 Clearly only because its in a service. You weren't intrigued all the years it was on the store or available physically in store? Yall some xbox ****** in disguise. Also the problem with the games industry now.

  • DOMM53745783 DOM M (@DOMM53745783) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @Fallout I'm having issues with signing in on Xbox, it freezes and sends me back to the home screen. I tried to submit a ticket but it's asking for files I can't supply

  • JackGor22322797 Jack Gordon (@JackGor22322797) reported

    @multiversus @multiversus I’m still having problems getting into a game on Xbox series s everytime I load in it says you have been disconnected. Any fixes?

  • BigMigzGaming BigMigzGaming (@BigMigzGaming) reported

    @foody_love12 @XboxSupport This is supposedly fixed in the next update coming it next week with a boosted start up time as well. I’m having the same issues

  • AdrianoCarelli Adriano Carelli (@AdrianoCarelli) reported

    @FUT_Rory Every year all this talk about this features . I enjoy the game but am very upset i bought an Xbox series X and did it play next gen all year because it sucked hope they fix that

  • Playjournal Playjournal (@Playjournal) reported

    @LyriicDaVinci Nah, it's just a game. DLC doesn't get its own boxed release. That's literally what the acronym indicates. Only Xbox fanboys have a problem with the truth.

  • BBresek2022 Brian Bresek (@BBresek2022) reported

    @JulianRomio @JEFFERSON2049 @JAAY_ROCK_ Or we just play it on our PC’s.. the modders will have to fix the broken mess that Bethesda releases. They can’t fix a broken mess on Xbox.

  • CoolGuyZ135 Cool Guy (@CoolGuyZ135) reported

    @multiversus Question: Is everyone dealing with the connection issue where when you press A (Xbox One S) to enter the game, it loads for a few minutes, connecting, checking permissions and that before throwing you back to the start screen stating that the connection was lost?Or is it just me?

  • Joker7Marc Data Minder (Earthling, Human) (@Joker7Marc) reported

    @russellawalters @CivGame @2KSupport As of late last week, it is working on my Xbox Series X. Even for existing games that I had started before the issue. What console do you have?

  • plaguecult plagueseason (@plaguecult) reported

    @Captain35595788 The point is that paying for a subscription service means it's not free to begin with. It's a PERK of paying for the service, yes, but it's not free. Same reason people saying a game is "free with Xbox Game Pass" bothers the hell out of me. You lose access when you stop paying.

  • LoveTresaun Tresaun Love (@LoveTresaun) reported

    @PlayStation Im a loyal Playstation gamer but after this recent PS5 issue with having to pay half the price for all the Sony fault. idk #XBox what y'all warranty and loyalty looking like over there?

  • Webhead_91 Webhead (@Webhead_91) reported

    @XboxPlus_ @JAAY_ROCK_ A bunch of morons working at Microsoft isn't my problem at all, it's Xbox gamers problem actually. Hypotheticals aren't really worth discussing now, are they? You need to hypothesise that Sony studios may be in trouble, we don't need to do that for Microsoft. It's known.

  • vault_boy47 Vault Boy47 🇨🇦 (@vault_boy47) reported

    @S3NT1N3L17 @mcquack306 100% in agreement Steve. it was easy for me to disconnect because I can play Xbox MP online games for free on PC.

  • StefanAdes Stefan Ades (@StefanAdes) reported

    Had a bit of a scare last night when my XBOX decided, mid movie, to not properly play 4k HDR content. So I turned everything off and on via software but that didn’t fix it. The fix was to physically unplug/replug the power to the XBOX. The classics are classic for a reason.

    @hiro4476x @XboxSupport That explains it then cause it starts out ok but on my iphone its like 5 mins ipad pro was like maybe 10 before **** went sideways and became unplayable... and i just tested rooted kindle while using wireless charging had issues after a few mins and got hot AF!!!!!
