    @demonslayer_hc Hey uh, I got the xbox series x recently and i tried booting up the game to play with some friends and i cant get access to the online modes at all, is this know about or do i have to fix something??? Im confused.

  • Ramonbuhl Brandon"Bison"3000 (@Ramonbuhl) reported

    @DestinLegarie See you said play not buy. Yall want the games in Gamepass and not for purchase. Thats the issue not Sony or Playstation. Xbox has been falling behind in game sales for years, thats why they created gamepass. You cant expecf every dev or publisher to just give their games away

  • CrazyJuan77 Sky Commander Juan (@CrazyJuan77) reported

    @BenjiSales @PaulTassi Nope. The issue with Halo is that Xbox brass wanted it reinvented to chase growth on PC and an audience of twitch addled kids who only wanna play BRs anyway, at the cost of everything that made it great in the first place, outside of the shooting.

  • Ansphn Anp (@Ansphn) reported

    @willcollum @XcloudTimdog Yes I'll happily pay for quality games. Look what Xbox has been providing you. I don't understand why you guys don't expect to pay for good quality. Only in this industry this generation, people seems to think paying for stuff is a problem.

  • donnytr3s Trey Turpin (@donnytr3s) reported

    I remember gamers losing their minds when Xbox a 1 Year exclusivity for Rise of the Tomb Raider even after footing some of the bill. Now it’s no issue to have “years” of exclusivity on a game when PlayStation does it.

  • Cruickster1 LeonMUFC (@Cruickster1) reported

    @EasyStreetGamer @Chris_Dring I’m not upset with them, I don’t own a PS. I’ve already said that PS has its own service so it doesn’t need Game Pass. Even if Xbox is keeping COD on ps for a while, it’s still a shame as a lot of ps players play COD (Warzone mainly)

  • GoldVoltage18 Voltlander (Instant Ramen Enthusiast) (@GoldVoltage18) reported

    Xbox really needs to fix game recordings

  • CJ_Mystik CJGomez (@CJ_Mystik) reported

    @PostUp_bbb Phil needs to make COD exclusive Sony been taking games away and making them exclusive. Also Xbox making them exclusive should help relieve the number of devs need to allow them to focus on other ip and fix bugs.

  • marcosvargas97 Marcos Vargas (@marcosvargas97) reported

    @Reignited_Spyro @Canadianguyehh Altough i wouldn't have any problem of Spyro and Crash being Xbox exclusives as i own an Xbox One those franchises becoming console exclusive after years and years of multi-console would be upsetting and probably reduce the franchises sales.

  • InfiniteGrunt 🍸Grunt of Doom🍺 (@InfiniteGrunt) reported

    @geoffkeighley None at all. It’s on the platform, Xbox just has a better service for its games because they care about more than just the green paper. And you can thank Jim Ryan for that. “Power to the Payers”, amirite? Wish Sony would learn and improve.

  • UgaroUzuki Ugar O. Uzuki (@UgaroUzuki) reported

    Hey @FortniteStatus a friends of mine is having an issue where he leaves the match and gets stuck on the loading screen, is this an in-game glitch or is it the xbox's issues

  • The_king_koolee beat machine Nate (@The_king_koolee) reported

    @ReaperII7 @Kmega4 And game pass itself is a rental service Halo the literal mascot of Xbox is dead Forza is all y’all have over there No ki sequel Microsoft abandoned sunset over drive Rise son of Rome FLOPPED trying to imitate PlayStation Oh hush bro lmao

  • JoypadLadShop JoypadLad.com - Game Store (@JoypadLadShop) reported

    @Voxgizer Nice! My issue is I always default to PS2 on multiplatform games usually unless it’s 4 players. Any games that are better on Xbox?

  • cuava_ Cuava (@cuava_) reported

    @Xbox do you know anyone who can fix this?

  • greatdayforhay2 greatdayforhay (@greatdayforhay2) reported

    @MaddenNFLDirect why does this game constantly turn my Xbox off? Literally no issues in any other game. #Madden23

  • TinManTJ27 TJ (@TinManTJ27) reported

    It wasn't a problem when Sony made spiderman playstation exclusive but now there's a chance call of duty might be xbox exclusive and he'll breaks loose

  • WOOLLEY_GAMER WOOLLEY GAMER: ! #FamilyOfGamers - WWCOG & TSGP (@WOOLLEY_GAMER) reported

    @zackarya9272 @DestinLegarie Which proves xbox could fund the development of more FF games if they chose to make a deal. The IP aint exclusive to Playstation. Specific games they helped develop? Sure. But that IP/ franchise is still open for other platforms. This is an Xbox problem. Not a Sony problem.

  • ZamfirNon Zero Fox Given (@ZamfirNon) reported

    @OfficialXboxU I was having a debate with someone on how only Xbox is anti-competitive... He kept bringing up how Xbox could have bid higher in the past for exclusivity deals over Sony... But now that Xbox is actually bidding higher it's an issue and Sony did no wrong. You just can't win.

  • tcgharker Tom Harker (@tcgharker) reported

    @7BitBrian @oliver_drk @DestinLegarie That Xbox offer basically covers 1 more game after MW2 and WZ2 given the change to the development cycle where each game is now in service for 2 years.

  • 803_jdavid Jonathan David (@803_jdavid) reported

    @DarkMessiah2012 @DestinLegarie @XboxP3 I think he has softly said something about this. Like xbox exclusives will launch day 1 on any platform that supports gamepass. Now obviously it's not the same scenario and Sony would have to allow an Xbox service on PS hardware. It'd be a complicated sell but not impossible.

  • chasehoganjone1 Chaterjones aka Gankonomics (@chasehoganjone1) reported

    @MrReckless94 @geoffkeighley @XcloudTimdog It's my fact that Sony had exclusive cod deals and has held final fantasy off of Xbox and is crapping their pants at the thought of their gamers having to pay full price for cod while xbox gamers pay for a subscription service to play it

  • Ja1r0cK Ja1r⚽ (@Ja1r0cK) reported

    @kaiFszn @Gbrady56 @PlayStation I can buy a Xbox series x if I want to.... That's no a problem.. But CoD is in Bad shape

  • Animemaster51 Alex (@Animemaster51) reported

    @RandolphBronson @razkaii I personally rather not be a slave to subscription service that only really offers me online and a rental service. The first one of course being horse ****. Xbox Live, PS plus and NSO have never convinced me they are worth it in modern day.

  • MyKhill01 Michael Medley Jr. (@MyKhill01) reported

    @thatoldgamerguy Playstation: exclusives Xbox: subscription service Nintendo: portability & exclusives

  • VoodooEagleX C. A. (@VoodooEagleX) reported

    @MarioDoubleXP @MinkRoyal @Xbox Are you on Xbox One or a Series X|S console? I don't ever notice any sort of lag on my Series X dashboard

  • Didact343 The Trails Doctor (@Didact343) reported

    Street Fighter V was made exclusive to Playstation consoles. Insomniac will never make a Sunset Overdrive 2 for Xbox, because of Sony. Final Fantasy has become all but exclusive to Playstation consoles. But sure, it's a huge problem Xbox want COD exclusive in 3 years 🙃

  • muchgolder Christian Rivers (@muchgolder) reported

    @davidscottjaffe I honestly still have trouble navigating the XBOX user interface, so for that reason alone I would not recommend XBOX.

  • Bro_Montana23 Brad (@Bro_Montana23) reported

    @FalconsGotNext2 @Xbox I have both and I must say, PlayStation’s customer service is garbage

  • frosch_ryan REN (@frosch_ryan) reported

    @99_joseph @IGN I’ve never had a problem with Xbox bumpers over almost 30+ controllers, only had a problem with stick drift.

  • kanchosuper Post-Workout Tourtière (@kanchosuper) reported

    @GenePark Every news cycle out of an Xbox studio lately seems to be “management is completely useless and unhelpful” or “management is literally eating babies” and it makes me wonder how that content problem will actually turn out Sony is still shipping games at least, and often good ones
