Xbox Live Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ForrestTheWoods Forrest Smith (@ForrestTheWoods) reported

    @jorgenpt On Xbox the issue affects me less because it’s included in GamePass. Multiplayer is a happy accident. I don’t want PS+. But once every two years I have to subscribe for one to three months to play a specific game. Much more frustrating. Switch I’ve never bothered.

  • Taran85612009 Taran Singh (@Taran85612009) reported

    @Durrtydoesit Xbox always have problems with frame rate

  • lvicp99 YourTweetsDoNothing (@lvicp99) reported

    @XboxSupport @Kingrodo Thousands have this problem

  • ARVideoGames Ash (@ARVideoGames) reported

    Sony’s service will offer it’s own value, whether you think it matches Gamepass or not, it will still offer it’s own thing. Anyone thinking it would practically be identical to Xbox but with 1st party Sony exclusives are living in a dream world.

  • T_Peperstraten Troy Van Peperstraten (@T_Peperstraten) reported

    @RavenSoftware When you gonna put the effort in fixing the issue that whenever i start to enter a lobby i crash back to my xbox homescreen straight away? Can’t play this game for over a week now. ******* amateurs **** all those skins you guys put out and start focussing on game quality

  • SplinketSnake Splinket Snake (@SplinketSnake) reported

    @RomeGoLARGE Wait, I thought this was gonna take down gamepass... Now Xbox fanboys wanted a worse service? What???

  • vanna3333 Vanna (@vanna3333) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Can we get an update resolving the UI rendering issues for xbox platforms its a bit frustrating to blindy navigate menus. Thanks in advance. -Vanna

  • Arcamene1 Arcamenel (@Arcamene1) reported

    @flatluigi @MOOMANiBE I have the xbox elite 2 and it's my number one most used feature, I went from hating it as an input to spamming it no issue, it really changed how I enjoy some games now.

  • mikeiveson cheese ninja (@mikeiveson) reported

    @DestinyTheGame y'all really need to do something to fix the nonsense with the darkness subclass. I bought beyond light on PC but wanted to play witch queen on Xbox. Now I cant use my darkness subclass on Xbox?

  • CJ_Mystik CJGomez (@CJ_Mystik) reported

    @Allgeekdupjus @StarboyHsp It was Gamespew as a user on Twitter yesterday asked about the difference in Xbox review for elden ring and PS5 review score. Ultimately they stated the Xbox version was not their doing error on metacritic, but user Gandalf gaming question on that they said they had no choice

  • terai_ramzi Terai Mohamed Ramzi (@terai_ramzi) reported

    @RavenSoftware @RavenSoftware Fix the issues on Xbox series S

  • Vikram__Dwivedi Destined V (@Vikram__Dwivedi) reported

    @XboxSupport @Xbox Boss there is a pricing issue on your Indian website for Xbox elite series 2 controller. Your website list special halo edition at X price and the authorized retailers are selling normal edition at X. Also the warranty mentioned is 90 days. Clarity needed.

  • MadboxMahdi MahdiMadbox (@MadboxMahdi) reported

    @RavenSoftware New issue in Xbox. The game automaticlly restart. Fix this.

  • DEC1MUS Curt Anderson (@DEC1MUS) reported

    @ID_AA_Carmack It would be pointless because you can (likely)do the same thing cheaper with a cloud based device using their XBOX live streaming service. We gamers would like it, it would be fun, but I don't see Microsoft heading in that direction. Streaming is the way its going.

  • ShockTheMaven Tinfoil Kufi (@ShockTheMaven) reported

    @ZachariusD I used to complain about this with the ps4 controller and I complained about my Xbox having to use replaceable batteries, but I've come to realize batteries are better overall and now that I use rechargeable batteries on my Series S I've had no issues at all.

  • lvicp99 YourTweetsDoNothing (@lvicp99) reported

    @RavenSoftware Still no fix for xbox?!

  • mrhulthen Alex (@mrhulthen) reported

    @TeamYouTube @KaptainKuba Xbox Game Pass (which was what he was talking about) is a subscription service by Microsoft. @MoistCr1TiKaL can you help a small YTer out? (2)

  • NotNormalBingle Nezo Elysium🎐 (@NotNormalBingle) reported

    @tfwPhoebe Got it early due to an xbox glitch, been playing for 10 hours straight my goodness

  • Psychoticbre4k Gavin Fayard (@Psychoticbre4k) reported

    @BungieHelp and this is on xbox Series S btw would really like some help on how to fix this

  • Yaboibrey Yaboibrey (@Yaboibrey) reported

    @Twitch I’m trying to stream on my xbox one ( more specifically apex legends ) and when I stream it says apex is not compatible with twitch despite how many updates I give my xbox is it possible to fix it or do I need some other device?

  • IJBorges17 Mr. Borges (@IJBorges17) reported

    @RavenSoftware Fix the ******* **** game!!!! Lots of bugs on the xbox series.

  • yuusharo Yuu™ 🧲🐉 🍥 (@yuusharo) reported

    @Julian_Burrell @GenePark Nothing like that. It's just the different ABXY layout compared to Xbox. Each button is mapped to their corresponding button letters by default (at least via Steam), meaning your muscle memory is totally broken. You can remap it, but it's tedious. Also, no good Mac support.

  • vocaloidfan2013 ff132fan (@vocaloidfan2013) reported

    @LifeIsStrange Any chance for a patch for the edge of the screen glitch , flickering , white lines and. flashing on xbox one???

  • jason02255 Jason (@jason02255) reported

    @NDGianfortune @DubbysBurner @Xbox Microsoft in general also has much better customer service and is much more customer service oriented

  • teknodancen Gaymer (@teknodancen) reported

    @GenePark I’ve had no issues with my PS5 controller. It seems every gen there’s more “PS CONTROLLER BAD BATTERY” posts but mine goes hours completely fine With xbox i’m constantly checking to make sure it hasn’t died fast and within 20 hours of gameplay I’m having to change them

  • Dazelya Onur Yürek (@Dazelya) reported

    @xboxinsider Xbox S X Remote Play feature is broken. When I start the Remote Play, the controller doesn't work as it should. Sticks stop working properly, buttons lose their function. This problem used to happen in Cyberpunk, but now it's happening in Elden Ring as well.

  • SamJack63795341 Sam Jackson (@SamJack63795341) reported

    @RavenSoftware How about xbox series s kicking back to home screen every 5 mins the big freeze and lag u get at the beginning of a game turn fov off pc if console cant have it or a way of not getting into pc lobbys

  • Wheelie_Average Jordan Andow (@Wheelie_Average) reported

    @GenePark Yeah I love both consoles but I must say the charge in Xbox controllers has always lasted significantly longer the Playstation ones. Not a big issue but I'd trade having a built in battery for significantly longer battery life absolutely.

  • WarriordoodleO WarriorDoodle OWO (@WarriordoodleO) reported

    @Xbox Yeah my xbox is breaking down so... *Gets closer* Please fix it.... Now ;-;

  • Mark_the_man_89 Mark (@Mark_the_man_89) reported

    @XboxSupport purchased a #grobtutorT1 DLC for #MicrosoftFlightSimulator and want a refund due to not working correctly. Had it 2 days and the refund button will not show and no way of a refund????
