    @_groovydot Simply search you PSN/Xbox tag/Origin ID on site. If your first search result doesn't work leave it 5 minutes and try again. Some people have issues when they have special event trackers on so try use plain ones for now

    I love the fact that Walmart was more than happy to take my order for a new Xbox, but is now saying they’re unable fulfill my order because of supply issues. Very Seinfeld of them.

  • ChiefTaogen Chief (@ChiefTaogen) reported

    @XboxSupport Hey, hope you can help me out. Having issues with auto-redeem for Microsoft points this month in that it didn't activate. I have a support ticket but no response in 3 days now.

  • eorizon16 Jakub (@eorizon16) reported

    am i only one having problems with starting Forza Horizon 4 on Series X after last update ? #xbox #seriesx

  • Xeonaught Xeonaught (@Xeonaught) reported

    @Under_Ach1ever @JFonzerrelli the console war game is irrelevant when too many games now are coming out £70 and are a broken mess yes it does not hit me so hard as I play mainly on Xbox but outriders was a mess at launch didn't hurt me one bit financially but I can't imagine the people who paid £70

  • ajlitton Anthony Litton (@ajlitton) reported

    @forza_support With many people (everybody?) now unable to launch the game on Xbox Series X without first disconnecting from the internet, I have to wonder: what is the missing piece of your testing environment that allowed such an immediately apparent and catastrophic issue to be released?

  • Samanth71091074 Samantha Roberts (@Samanth71091074) reported

    @TESOnline I get it. Your getting companions. Can you fix the game for xbox. Naaa wait til june

  • iarepilot ♏edium Dave🇪🇺🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@iarepilot) reported

    @oy_twt @kingrexboss1 @forza_support I can't play as guest on my XSX unfortunately, as it's not my home console :/ This sounds like it's a server or authentication error on Xbox's part, so hopefully there might be a relatively quick fix? Not sure why there was such a big update in the first place though?

    @Emil13344163 @SonnyDhaBoss Chill out. What broken on xbox anyways

  • Maynz69 Mayns (@Maynz69) reported

    @forza_support can’t lunch my game on serie x. That crash and comeback to main menu of my Xbox When I’m launching the game. Can you make something ?

  • maddyinnit3 maddyinnit (@maddyinnit3) reported

    @xboxuk @Xbox fix you xbox network pleaseeee

  • mobeydic ToOlMaN (@mobeydic) reported

    @JezCorden If the tables was turnt the other way around the energy would be different smh but because it’s Sony it’s a problem pony’s bash Xbox for years

  • Ozymandias88_ Ozymandias (@Ozymandias88_) reported

    @JFonzerrelli I agree but im getting the feeling that the complaints are disproportionate to the size of the issue here and i think i know why. People just bash it more cause it's a Sony game, just like Sony fanboys will do the same with Xbox games. It's stupid in most cases.

  • Jerry316v2 jerry (@Jerry316v2) reported

    @survivetheark Fix you’re game I can’t even redownload it in Xbox it keeps saying installation stopped

  • Durhss Durhs (@Durhss) reported

    Xbox servers down?

  • tgc839 -/\- (@tgc839) reported

    @forza_support I’m on Xbox and whenever I load the game up, it crashes to the dashboard and quits the game. this only happens when I’m on my own account too. do you know how i can fix it?

  • maddyinnit3 maddyinnit (@maddyinnit3) reported

    @Xbox @xboxuk I'm not gonna say this again FIX YOUR SERVERS I'M TRYNA WATCH WILBUR AND I'M GETTING SIGNED OUT

  • kidsmoove KidSmoove (@kidsmoove) reported

    @JezCorden @JFonzerrelli @Under_Ach1ever Honestly. All we’re doing is keeping the “same energy”. Xbox fans get trolled just because it’s a Tuesday. When we start trolling them over legit issues everybody wants to be civil and protect them from being trolled. I don’t get it.

  • Ratfoot09 Louis Wilson (@Ratfoot09) reported

    @forza_support SOLUTION - Sign out of your XBOX account and then skip sign in. Load into forza and it will prompt you to sign in. Follow that instruction and it should work!!!

  • Ladder_of_Glass Dreamer (@Ladder_of_Glass) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @XboxSupport I keep wanting to give this another go, but never really seeing any significant, interesting gameplay updates. Mightve missed something for season 2 but cosmetics arent the issue

  • TechKozy KozyTech (@TechKozy) reported

    Anyone else having an issue using netcut on the original xbox one (black console)? Have tried 4 different consoles and keeps giving the xbox live alert. Working just fine on the current and next gen consoles though

  • emzyystar Emily (@emzyystar) reported

    I get it might be an issue between high pred players but is there a need to talk ALL console players down like that? Like we aren’t **** without aim assist? Yeah I’m sure me, a 2.30KD diamond Xbox player will “absolutely beam” a top 100 9KD pc pred with my mega aim assist. Chill

  • Emil13344163 Emil (@Emil13344163) reported

    @SonnyDhaBoss How about fix the game for Xbox? I put money into ur game because I loved it so I should be able to play it

  • Aaronjf94 Aaronjf94 (@Aaronjf94) reported

    @JezCorden Yeah, i bought the deluxe edition so my progress being wiped from their update is making me mad. If that happens with an xbox game at least i can get a refund but i'll be sure to point out that they need to fix it.

  • No_Limit_Gamer Lord Jamar (@No_Limit_Gamer) reported

    @JezCorden Of course a Xbox game will get bashed if it’s broken at launch it will get bashed anyway more then anything Sony would put out it does every time the energy will be there it will be extra doomsday energy trust me.

  • Nisha94077545 Nisha (@Nisha94077545) reported

    @ComplexMinded Hi any time on the xbox fix as I have tried everything except completely factory resetting my xbox one which I don't want to do as I have a 1T to redownload other wise

  • anthonyldraper Anthony Draper (@anthonyldraper) reported

    @PastorMcKinley Your biggest issue will be powering the NES. After that, you’ve just got to deal with FCA’s lousy electronics. I had a same-year T&C and tried to run an Xbox 360. It worked, but it would shut off due to lack of power quite often.

  • Softy1o1 Kieran McCann (@Softy1o1) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps Hi there. I’ve been trying to request a call back but there appears to be an error. I have an Xbox series X linked to my TV with HDMI 2.1. EARC to a receiver. I have everything set to pass through. DTS encoded bluray give an error. Can you help? Is this common?
