Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • s_Sasquatch_ Michael (@s_Sasquatch_) reported

    @Dubug03 The buying isn’t the problem but making big games exclusive eg fallout elder scrolls which has always been a big ps game now they have taken it away Instead of just saying cool we will make it a simultaneous release Xbox & PlayStation,we as consumers are important

  • RyujinShinGamer すね (@RyujinShinGamer) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Instead of telling us it’s offline just fix it and get off your phone lmao

  • erbkaiser1 Erbkaiser (@erbkaiser1) reported

    @IndieGamerChick After the Bethesda exclusivity for future games (especially Elder Scrolls 6), I am worried. I don't doubt the next COD with its microtransactions will be multiplatform still, but will the next Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, etc. be?

  • Hubb2424 SUPERSTEEL (@Hubb2424) reported

    @TESOnline you guys have got to fix this dodge mechanic. People are literally jumping in the air multiple times and its saying dodge on each shot. Plus why are you banning people for the so called "TBAG". SENSITIVE BULLCRAP PEOPLE.

  • TSommerfelt Trevor Sommerfelt (@TSommerfelt) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps I’m trying to install the Elder Scrolls Online but it keeps stopping whether I update the game now or later. It stops at 14% and 56.5%. And I’ve done so much and almost everything to fix it. I’ve gone offline restarted the console tried to reinstalled.

  • ColinKeenan8 Colin Keenan (@ColinKeenan8) reported

    @Sonohara @ExFusionYT @IGN Haha they said this would never make starfield exclusive..they did. Then they said yeah but they defo dont have the ***** to make elder scrolls 6 exclusive..they did. Microsoft have admitted they dont need sony money. They want subscriptions to the gamepass service. End of.

  • aryaman_ram Aryaman 🤝🏾 (@aryaman_ram) reported

    When it accquired Bethesda studios in 2021, it bought access to successful big-budget action/RPG IP's (Doom, Elder Scrolls) with a 3-5+ year development cycle. The only thing missing from it's library are live service (WOW, Starcraft) and mobile games (COD Mobile, Candy Crush).

  • superniceguy_2 Tony Harrison (@superniceguy_2) reported

    @Danumis_ @rockisinfinite @dinabass Horizon has never been on Xbox, COD, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Tony Hawks, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, etc etc all have. Xbox has Forza, Gears of Wars, Halo. 343 studios could make a Horizon equivalent which would not be on PS but too lazy and easier to steal existing games instead

  • JJSafen Juan (@JJSafen) reported

    @retardBoe Ahora parece que a algunos de repenete no le gusta Call of Duty, Overwatch, Diablo, WoW, Hearstone, Warcraft, Starcraft, Spyro, Crash, Fallout, Doom, Wolfestein, The Elder Scrolls, The Evil Within, Dishonored, Prey, etc, etc. Como cambian de parecer los sonyers.

  • azlvsy azlvsy (@azlvsy) reported

    @technology @business Microsoft: Buy Bethesda = The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, .. Buy Activision = Call of Duty, ..Crash Bandicoot .. Microsoft could now put these games on Xbox only, some on Windows, or Microsoft Store on Windows. It seems that Microsoft's strategy is to remove games from PlayStation.

  • SUPAHSAWNIK99 Supah | Fighting Game Fanatic (@SUPAHSAWNIK99) reported

    So, Microsoft now owns: -Halo -Doom -Fallout -Call of Duty -Killer Instinct -Overwatch -Gears of War -Crash Bandicoot -World of Warcraft -Candy Crush -The Elder Scrolls -Minecraft -Banjo-Kazooie -Spyro -Hearthstone -Forza Motorsports -Battletoads ...What the hell is this company?

  • Zagrael_ Zagrael (@Zagrael_) reported

    @VillainOfHeaven @mr_evaporation @Destructo_Dan Elder scrolls is definitely not bigger than Crash. Crash is a household name. If you asked any random person what a Khajit was, they'd look at you weird.

  • KaizerAllen Kaizer Allen (@KaizerAllen) reported

    ...but taking away future installments of long-running properties like “Call of Duty,” “Fallout,” “Battlefield,” “Tony Hawk,” “Wolfenstein,” “Crash Bandicoot,” “Spyro the Dragon,” “Overwatch,” “Doom,” “The Elder Scrolls” is anti-gaming and anti-competitive.

  • CaveDsign Superkees (@CaveDsign) reported

    @RyujinShinGamer @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline yeah, because the person that does the social media has acces to the servers and the knowledge to 'fix them' while its a maintenance job

  • xxwild95 XXWILD95CHILDXX (@xxwild95) reported

    @mizfantastic @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Umm so you wanna keep playing a broken server. Be happy they care enough to do maintenance.

  • Jesse_T_White Jesse White (@Jesse_T_White) reported

    @nic_nack95 @enterzalman Microsoft sure would love to have the potential to get revenue from that huge PlayStation base. Want Elder Scrolls, Call of Duty, Crash Bandicoot, and Diablo on PlayStation? Subscribe to Game Pass!

  • jerich0717 Jericho (@jerich0717) reported

    @TatataToddC @AdamHannan7 @geoffkeighley It's not rather or not this is a great deal for Microsoft. It's that playstation will become known as the box that doesn't have cod, overwatch, diablo, TonyHawk, spyro, crash bandicoot, elder scrolls, doom, fallout, and more. That could be a big deal if they pull the trigger.

  • CaveDsign Superkees (@CaveDsign) reported

    @RyujinShinGamer @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline just fix it and get off your phone!!!!

  • FightLikeACow Lee Hazell (@FightLikeACow) reported

    Let me get this straight. Microsoft’s two biggest franchises right now are Forza and Halo, both taking big leaps into live service territory. They bought Bethesda after they made Fallout 76, Elder Scrolls: Blades, and Wolfenstein Youngblood.

  • InebriatedJawa InebriatedJawa (@InebriatedJawa) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Thanks for the update. Hopefully we will get a fix for the Xbox privacy settings. If my privacy is set to friends only I cannot form or join a group. Only game where this is an issue. Also the screen settings resetting every log out. Already filled a ticket and posted in forums.

  • smbflurry just a flurry | BLM (@smbflurry) reported

    @ABeerAndAGame Right, but I'm more wondering if there will be a scenario where the new COD and Elder Scrolls will be exclusive to Xbox, and/or a subscription service for months before it's released elsewhere. Or if the selection is incredible but they want $30/month or more for Game pass.

  • Wandering_Dutch ⚔Wandering Dutch🇳🇱 ᚴᚱᛁᛘᚠᚱᚬᛋᛏ (@Wandering_Dutch) reported

    @CHIEFTOMMEH @LordSothKotL @SloMoBackSlap Oh you mean like Elder Scrolls? Minecraft is a live service game. As per the Zenimax agreement with ESO / FO76 (live service). You can sit in denial all you like. Live service will remain. All others that aren't live service will be platform exclusive.

  • bokobat matheus (@bokobat) reported

    por mim era tudo exclusivo. TUDO. Call of Duty? Xbox. Elder Scrolls? Game Pass. Fallout? xCloud. Overwatch? Microsoft Store. Diablo? PC Game Pass. Crash? Spyro? DOOM? Hellblade? Wolfenstein? Tony Hawk’s? Xbox, Xbox, Xbox, Xbox, Xbox, Xbox. não é assim na concorrência?

  • WestonL14229336 Weston Lewis (@WestonL14229336) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Is there a fix planned for the main menu and mod browser lagging for Skyrim SE? As far as I'm aware it's across all console platforms (I am on Xbox one), but only affects people who haven't bought the Anniversary Edition. The game is nearly unplayable right now.

  • Ethan99153944 Ethan (@Ethan99153944) reported

    @MikeDaLGND @MarcTech1996 @IGN the only main problem is when these big titles like CoD overwatch elder scrolls fallout are being owned by Microsoft it forces people to buy an xbox or a PC and sometimes people like myself don't like that idea because of personal preference or you cant afford a new system

  • BurgSkeletal BurgSkeletal (@BurgSkeletal) reported

    Now that @Xbox owns Elder Scrolls, Doom, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro The Dragon, that means it will be much easier for @Nintendo to negotiate Dovahkiin, Doomguy, Crash, and Spyro for a future Smash game. Hell at this rate Xbox could probably have its own Smash Bros type fighter!

  • pupsandkitsohmy Melissa (@pupsandkitsohmy) reported

    @TESOnline I am trying to play on a separate steam account. I have family sharing enabled and can launch the game to the login in screen on the second account but can't actually login. Says internal error. I can login fine on the first account. Help?

  • Jesse_T_White Jesse White (@Jesse_T_White) reported

    @AnaDrawZone @JELKK11 @mr_evaporation Elder Scrolls VI, Outer Worlds 2, Hellblade II, and Starfield becoming exclusive. The only PlayStation games they seem too allow are service games like Minecraft and Call of Duty: Warzone and games that already had PlayStation versions already in development.

  • CampYea YeaICamp (@CampYea) reported

    @xangelknivesx @redmenace000 @AEGRO_84 Not having Call of Duty, Fallout, Diablo, Overwatch, Elder Scrolls, Doom, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, and many other games will cost them more money.
