Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • EsePanchitoMc Panchito McDonald's (@EsePanchitoMc) reported

    @SegaShopEurope SEGA makes me wonder why they don't team up with Xbox to offer the complete catalog of Genesis/Mega Drive games in a Game Pass collection. I know they can't all be there, due to licensing issues and a thousand other things. But, come on, do that for your fans.

  • Lasselelle Lasselelle (@Lasselelle) reported

    @PaulTassi @Forbes Biggest issue xbox has is that all their exclusives are released for PC, so you might as well play them on PC with vet tre r performance

  • NintendoldGuy BaldBelperGaming78 (@NintendoldGuy) reported

    .#Microsoft really need to up their game with #Xcloud Even with the strong broadband, it’s so glitchy. #Stadia was almost perfect in that regard. Never had an issue at all with performance. @XboxP3 @Xbox really need to get it sorted. Nowhere near a good enough standard.

  • bradcandoit Eileen Antfarm (@bradcandoit) reported

    Xbox had a glitch that made any game totally glitchy and unplayable while you had a peripheral steering wheel plugged in, so I haven’t done any racing in weeks

  • SeriousAverage SeriouslyAverageGamers (@SeriousAverage) reported

    I have spent the primary portion of my gaming time on Xbox ever since the first Xbox console launched. I had an Xbox 360 from launch, an Xbox One from launch... Xbox still can't seem to master consistent first party success, and it's a problem - Game Pass *will* struggle without.

  • mcsetty Cap'n Stan (@mcsetty) reported

    @PaulTassi @Forbes It's hard to argue that Xbox competes on these terms. As someone who's more focused on coop/multiplayer with a play group, Sony's offerings aren't a big allure. Will be interesting to see what their service games look like.

  • NomadCanid Bryce (@NomadCanid) reported

    I played a bunch on Xbox and I need that Battlefield fix again

  • Shawnhanscom Shawn Hanscom (@Shawnhanscom) reported

    @PotionPermit @LBozzie98 I’m having issues with Leano’s quest, Back to the Sea. I cannot make Gun Powder when I open the cauldron. Blue quest marker is there and everything but I cannot make it. Playing on Xbox one. Any help on this?

  • Mario64841085 Mario (@Mario64841085) reported

    @majornelson why is it so difficult to contact Xbox support? I have a design lab order that never arrived (Fedex is the worst shipping company) and it's impossible for me to get in touch with support, the "Call Me" option always gives me an error.

  • xBo0ndockS4intx xBo0ndockS4intx (@xBo0ndockS4intx) reported

    @CrookzFPS @charlieINTEL I have pretty decent internet. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to matter when I play COD. And everytime I sit down to play there is an update so yeah I was expecting it to be a large game. Just wondering what was so broken about the Xbox version, that it's update was 50 gb larger

  • punisherofmts dean kelly (@punisherofmts) reported

    @DisneyDLV I been alway from my Xbox but been playing then game on switch but know can’t load my cloud save game on Xbox how do we fix this ?? Because it taking me back to level 20 but I select load cloud save level 30 and don’t get my data 😔😔

  • ConfusedRealm Nolan Rooney (@ConfusedRealm) reported

    @PaulTassi @Forbes Xbox doesn’t really make AAA blockbuster games anymore. They haven’t had a must have GOTY contender in years. They moved onto the service market with gamepass. While playstation is moreso the game market.

  • WRCTheGame WRC The Official Games (@WRCTheGame) reported

    The #Xbox update (2.1.2.0) that was released last night did not resolved some issues, our team is working on resolving them through a future update, most notably: • Game crash with Logitech G920 • No FFB for the Thrustmaster TX but can suddenly lock-up

  • MartinCBMRiley Martin CBM Riley (@MartinCBMRiley) reported

    @PaulTassi @Forbes Spot on with this article Paul. I can't honestly think of the last MS exclusive game I played and really loved. Probably going back to Xbox 360 era to think of one. Have no problems with Microsoft, I enjoy a lot of what they do and subscribe to gamepass on PC. But this is right

  • SethKleinpaste Seth Kleinpaste (@SethKleinpaste) reported

    @MightyKraken @NoobtheLoser Tech guy here: this works because sometimes the issue is cracked solder joints. Using temperature changes (see also the 'towel trick for Xbox 360 red ring of death) to get bits touching each other again can help, but if it works, the first thing you should do is...

  • Mario64841085 Mario (@Mario64841085) reported

    @XboxSupport please support me with my Design Lab order, it never arrived, Fedex did not help me and the "call me" option on the Xbox site always gives me an error

  • philskeggs Phil Skeggs (@philskeggs) reported

    @XboxSupport I need a callback but your website is displaying an error message when I put my number in. Can you help?

  • UbeightTv U BE IGHT TV (@UbeightTv) reported

    @PaulTassi @Forbes When an exclusive drops for PlayStation I know 9/10 it’s gonna be solid. When one on Xbox drops I gotta hope it’s solid it’s maybe 2 ps games I didn’t like (returnal and days gone) but I can name a bunch of Xbox games I have problems with and I still like both systems still.

  • playthugger D (@playthugger) reported

    @Xbox fix y’all stuff man, how did i go from getting a update for mw2 then trying to cancel the update and redownload it for y’all to delete the whole game and i have to reinstall the whole game, y’all system is garbage.

  • 1YouMadBro Christopher Byrne (@1YouMadBro) reported

    @shiesty6s @XboxSupport Yeah I’m having the same problem💀 I’ve been trying to buy MW2 for 3 days and I just keep getting error messages

  • SeraphicaIy Christian Gebhardt (@SeraphicaIy) reported

    @DarkHeartsKing ...through the xbox menu seem to be broken with OW for some people currently and it's not showing me when friends come online in the OW chat window either. I usually check who is available to play after every couple games or so, but currently the game is making it difficult... :/

  • Joel68187101 Joel (@Joel68187101) reported

    @CODMW2022 fix your hackes/cheater problem plz i've played over 20hours on mw2 and i've find more hackers/cheaters on here then black ops 2 xbox 360 at the moment

  • Swann_Lee_King Swann Lee (@Swann_Lee_King) reported

    @InfinityWard Please xbox series s crash everytime seen yesterday

  • LordKirkis Emmanuel G (@LordKirkis) reported

    @GodSpeed_CDN @Twitroll11 @kidsmoove Gamepass can be good, but how do the games fit into this service? AA, AAA, 3rd party. I don’t think even Phil knows… he and Xbox still figuring that part out. Will the games suffer in some cases? Who knows. Will the price of GP go up? Heck yeah, its already been assured.

    @MikeysDead It’s not rage quit when you have problems with your Xbox overheating

  • Starscream198 Starscream (@Starscream198) reported

    @MarkStephenFord @TheBat_Family Sadly there was an error where the Xbox 360 version said “**** Grayson” while the 3DS version said “Tim Drake.”

  • 03Mrsj MrsJ 03 (@03Mrsj) reported

    @XboxSupport day 3 of error code 50033 what's going on we can't access any games and yes we've repeatedly done all the help steps restarted etc etc

  • Xplorateur3333 Le roi-liche/Thexan de Lordaeron/"Jimmy Dean" 🍥 (@Xplorateur3333) reported

    @DBTB_EN We are Waiting for Hours to Find 1 Matchmaking on #Xbox. When we make a Group, for example 3/8 Players and Launch the Matchmaking, no one join. After Disband the Group, Alone it works, and too often when there is 8/8 Players... Error Code : 988Y-AUZ8RYTS2SF/010001606 😩🫳🧽

  • McBootfaceLover FlyingDutchman (@McBootfaceLover) reported

    @MikieRo6 @XboxSupport Do you by any chance have a steering wheel. If so, I think unplugging it should solve the issue temporarily.

  • AntMassey17 Massey (@AntMassey17) reported

    @Pharaoh_Peter Ah that sucks. Don't have much advice there apart from maybe fully disconnect your controller while playing? Not sure if the Xbox will let you do it, but could be some ghost inputs?
