  • nazar1328 NAZAR 𒉭 #Sekiro (@nazar1328) reported

    @ZHerb76 I wouldn't have bought Sekiro on PS5 if not for DVR man. Elden Ring on xbox was a painful experience 😔. So many of my clips either don't have audio or have audio sync issue. And it fails to upload on twitter for no ******* reason sometimes even as simple as a screenshot

  • TweetYou82 Nana K. Collins Jr. (@TweetYou82) reported

    @AcidOverrideOG @Biff_Tannon2020 @ulongteagaming Yes but what does another consoles problem have to do with XBOX? the “they do it too” argument doesn’t mean anything the games are still not working on XBOX

  • HaloGuacamalo Haloneus (@HaloGuacamalo) reported

    @XboxSupport So do I get an extra day on my subscription for this time I’ve been unable to use it because of your issues and bad communication?

  • neonepiphany Eden Marie (@neonepiphany) reported

    @hardvlade @MachGunKelly Yes, and my response was to that point: Home Xbox exists so that offline licenses are kept track of on one console so that games can be played "when Xbox Live goes down." You may need to take your Xbox offline manually, depending on the nature of the outage.

  • ChirayataN Cn21 Gaming (@ChirayataN) reported

    @XboxSupport I can play games but my console is not detecting the new May firmware update. Does it have to do with the outage? This has never happened before.

  • whimperingmouse Whimperingmouse (@whimperingmouse) reported

    @wewantthecup @Wilga_beast @XboxSupport Tech issues happen get over it. People don't need to whine like 5 year olds because

  • xSe7enL Anthony 💭 (@xSe7enL) reported

    @ChirayataN @XboxSupport Hold your power button (for 5 seconds) so the system completely resets , that should fix the issue

  • ominous_angel Randum626 (@ominous_angel) reported from Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

    @Microsoft @XboxSupport long story short, being a long time user of Microsoft and Xbox I'd like someone that can fix this to reach out to me to do so.

  • SkuxSaint_ TheMinecraftFrog (@SkuxSaint_) reported

    @RavenSoftware I still can't play Warzone for the past Year ever since the Vanguard Integration. Keeps saying I need damn Xbox Live Gold? Fix This **** Already!

  • ominous_angel Randum626 (@ominous_angel) reported from Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

    @Microsoft @XboxSupport spoke to a rep this morning and they said they see a purchase being made for the game BUT couldn't go through with giving me the game I purchased and instead wanted to charge me again believing my "pending" statement was my problem to deal with.

  • croncade CRON F. KENNEDY (@croncade) reported

    @Xbox @UnpackingALife None considering the Game Pass issues

  • XBoxTG21 TruGreen21 (@XBoxTG21) reported

    @Xbox @UnpackingALife Waiting for outage to end. Put me right to sleep

  • whimperingmouse Whimperingmouse (@whimperingmouse) reported

    @Joe559_Rod @Wilga_beast @XboxSupport Tech issues happen all the time. Him demanding compensation like he is owed something is entitled

  • MartinKastner1 Martin Kastner Jr⭐⭐️ (@MartinKastner1) reported

    @XboxSupport I have been having trouble trying to purchase both Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles. Everytime I tried it gave me an error message. Worst of all my credit card still charges me even though the transaction failed.

  • djsdad1121 Derek Laubach (@djsdad1121) reported

    @XboxSupport I'm still getting the same error, from last night. I still can not access my games..I can play cloud gaming now, but still no owned games

  • YoungBo54410276 youngtravi (@YoungBo54410276) reported

    @marlisjun @Xbox I didn’t have that trouble on my Xbox

  • SuperKlyph SuperKlyph (@SuperKlyph) reported

    @MilesDompier Does it not work if set to your home Xbox? I do not game share and I had no problems.

  • mathodical1018 Mathodical (@mathodical1018) reported

    Phil talked about game preservation before but Xbox still requires online check-ins for owned games. I'm glad this outage has people talking about that.

  • DC4L42188 ace (@DC4L42188) reported

    @XboxSupport Still not working as of 11:45 am est

  • _OneSeventyOne ♦️BloodBOSS♦️ (@_OneSeventyOne) reported

    @MVCPremiumGamer @JustAnLED The irony of these ppl defending Xbox when they can't even play games because of online DRM issues are hilariously absurd to see bruh😐

  • Dovahborn612 Brennan James (@Dovahborn612) reported

    @Cloaked_Onyx @Xbox For **** sake...IT'S LINKED TO YOUR ACCOUNT, WHICH IS BASED ON THE INTERNET FROM WHERE YOU DOWNLOADED THE GAME FROM, IF YOU USED A DISC YOU WOULDN'T BE LOOKING THIS DUMB. PlayStation has the SAME issue....NOT JUST XBOX.

  • haloreachgamer Madinogi (@haloreachgamer) reported

    @XeoMafia @LukeyGearSolid @NakaiCanon See i **** on infinite because its genuinely a garbage halo game, but im also true to my word, i havnt played its MP since the second week of the game (first tenrai week) and campaign since Late Dec, but i need a MP shooter fix, im curently reinstalling ******* COD on my Xbox SX

  • lukeallinone Lukeallinone (@lukeallinone) reported

    @AlucardC99 @Cloaked_Onyx @Xbox I had this issue I only have one Xbox and it’s set as my home Xbox. The issue is that Microsoft is refusing to remove always online DRM from their console.

  • keeganjacobson Keegan Jacobson (@keeganjacobson) reported

    @ModernVintageG This is unfortunately one of the big blemishes / worst parts about the Xbox ecosystem. Really wish they'd put time in to re-architect and fix this as well as being able to set up the console from the factory offline.

  • Sir_Vamped 〘𝗩𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗱〙⎉ (@Sir_Vamped) reported

    @MilesDompier @watchmensCLC77 Hey Miles, please shine more light on these DRM issues. @DoesItPlay1 tried to and alot of the xbox community attacked them. DRM is not your friend.

  • sumrando22 big j (@sumrando22) reported
