  • Tendo10do Tendo (@Tendo10do) reported

    @JoshPillault I think xbox is a decent choice, dont let the nerds sell you overpriced boxes with buttons. You dont really need those. If you ever get a switch I can give you a crash course in Smashbros Ultimate (the objectively best fighting game)

  • healy_major Triple A Gaming (@healy_major) reported

    @SpeedKomodo @mcnugget3080 @XboxSupport It may be all the same inside your head. If PlayStation Network goes down, I still play my purchased games without an issue and without having to change the settings to offline mode. That's an Xbox problem, not a PlayStation problem.

  • killabrax999 doom slayer (@killabrax999) reported

    @APoxyDubliner @infrarogue89 “Lazy route” coming from the Xbox fanboy, Xbox sees a problem they just throw money at it, they don’t got no real talent other than being crybabies

  • YukiMishima_ Yuki Mishima (@YukiMishima_) reported

    The only problem I have with the 8BitDo Pro 2 controller: the buttons are labelled contrary to my primary purpose of using it as an Xbox controller for Steam

  • godflict God of the New World (@godflict) reported

    my xbox updated and the glitch is back.

  • Vxyeur_99 Vxyeur (@Vxyeur_99) reported

    @reg1214 @PS5Midnight @Oti09280470 I want Xbox to succeed but the problem is the fan base. You guys defend anything. PS fans are still debating the price of TLOU despite the work put into the game. If you believe in Xbox and want it to do well then start demanding change instead of tolerating BS!

  • CavingJim Caving Jim (@CavingJim) reported

    @russellawalters @CivGame Same here. Latest Xbox update has fixed the crashes. Played 350 turns and no crash. Mods turned on, all good.

  • GamingWithAce85 GAMING WITH ACE (@GamingWithAce85) reported

    @TheAmazingKing @MldGhost @Saltiest_Gaming Yea, okay! Lmao always broken promises from Phil Spencer with you fans. And then y’all justify with, “GP is a great deal, plenty to play.” Which is fine, but no consistent AAA first party exlcusive on Xbox is terrible. Just get a PC FOR ALL THAT.

  • ps5unban PlayStation 5 Unban Bot (@ps5unban) reported

    I read every line of EULAs and I am 100% confident that my banned machine and my banned friends did not violate them. Both were banned without a persuasive reason from your customer service! I had no issue with #XBOX and #NintendoSwitch for years btw! (3/7)

  • NickdeBruyne Nick de Bruyne (@NickdeBruyne) reported

    I can’t believe I spent the whole of my evening yesterday playing a game on my phone. You start to really feel weird after a while because of your posture. I wanted to play on the TV using airplay and my Xbox controller but it seems that controller stuff is a bit broken atm

  • thePretzelJones 🥨🤤 - playing Rift Apart (@thePretzelJones) reported

    @owenwilliams91 a while back gamefly even started up a streaming service. It never did well because the world wasn't ready for it, but look at Sony and Xbox now. GF is a pioneer lol

  • gabba_nutta GaBBa NuTTA (@gabba_nutta) reported

    @HuntShowdown Xbox is having problems, blurry screen, getting stuck in settings and having to log in twice to get on the game.

  • healy_major Triple A Gaming (@healy_major) reported

    @mcnugget3080 @XboxSupport It's all the same subject. Xbox is on a crash course to obscurity and it's community is as much to blame as the Xbox team.

  • healy_major Triple A Gaming (@healy_major) reported

    @SpeedKomodo @mcnugget3080 @XboxSupport It's all inside your head. If PlayStation Network goes down, I still play my purchased games without an issue and without having to change the settings to offline mode. That's an Xbox problem, not a PlayStation problem.

  • pxterjunior PJ (@pxterjunior) reported

    @JbootyfuI @BlobBuu Yeah i still play it and never have problems getting games on Xbox. Hoping that at least the characters and skins get flipping into RE:Verse

  • JesseGillette10 Jesse Gillette (@JesseGillette10) reported

    Is that an @Xbox problem, I’m not really sure, but lots of stuff from Microsoft seems to be messing up at least on my end. To add a layer of hilarity to the Xbox predicament, I have a hard copy of the game I want to play but the last Xbox our household has is a digital only

  • JesseGillette10 Jesse Gillette (@JesseGillette10) reported

    I don’t have money to go out and buy a flash drive to do the fix for the Xbox. I guess I’m just gonna throw all the brands under the bus right now cuz fudge it. My electric drum kit cables started breaking and disconnecting @Alesis, due to cheap manufacturing

  • psychoserial Kurupt (@psychoserial) reported

    @Cuck__Norris @Saltiest_Gaming Xbox game brand accounts for 10% of MS overall revenue, inflation is a world wide problem cost of living crisis etc etc ...so of course sells will be down, last quater Sony had to buy back 200,000 dollars worth of shares because its share price fell so hard.

  • mcnugget3080 jonas | S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2☢️🇺🇦Day one on Gamepass (@mcnugget3080) reported

    @healy_major @SpeedKomodo @XboxSupport Uhm, when Xbox Live went down I played Borderlands 2 without any issue🤔 I didn’t even had to use the offline mode🤔🤔

  • AdamHannan7 Adam Hannan (@AdamHannan7) reported

    @TheJokester_MrJ @irrapture @Wario64 It's a Series X only disc so it'll probably work fine. The only reason that was ever a problem was because smart delivery had the Xbox One version on the disc and the Series code had to be downloaded.

  • Paul71665554 Paul🌍 (@Paul71665554) reported

    @Raiden1615 @XboxSupport Quit this unhelpful support and message #WEZATRACE official on Instagram he's gonna solve your issues asap man

  • BIahBIahB1ah Blah Blah Blah (@BIahBIahB1ah) reported

    @EricP77 @JamieMoranUK @muzdbuz My tweet was talking about Jamie's problem with someone stating a game is also on PS5 when he only mentioned Xbox. That has nothing to do with people looking up platforms because of that was the case, then Jamie didn't need to mention Xbox either, right?

  • WendyBchz Bchz Wendy (@WendyBchz) reported

    Hello, @MojangSupport I have a problem with minecraft xbox I buy maps and when I want to download them its bug importing the content and its remains at 0% to infinity, maybe you will do something to fix it you please!

  • thismanslovak sam (@thismanslovak) reported

    Has anyone noticed the ******* many amounts of Bots happening to agree onto the "Looking For Group" posts for Destiny 2??? I've just noticed them and @Xbox bro what ******** is this there's like 5 already bundling up on posts and **** like bro please fix this.

  • Hijikata_7 Hijikata-7 (@Hijikata_7) reported

    @BenjiSales just enjoy it while it last, i dont think its sustainable, even netflix with so much more subscribers is having a big problem now. i think xbox is somewhat betting on cloud gaming and try to be the first, just way ahead of time

  • JohnnyTomasFoto Johnny Tomas (@JohnnyTomasFoto) reported

    @TheBlkPlumbob On Xbox so far no issues with aging

  • healy_major Triple A Gaming (@healy_major) reported

    @SpeedKomodo @mcnugget3080 @XboxSupport LOL. That's what you're going with? That CMOS bullshit was solved already. And too long? Too long on Xbox is just 24 hrs before the problems start. Too long on PlayStation is more like 2 weeks.

  • NaterStephanie StephanieHatesMinorities (@NaterStephanie) reported

    A Deb came to fix my xbox 720 yesterday

  • amenon22 amenon (@amenon22) reported

    hey, @CoinCrewGames in Quantys server room the hintboard stayed black at my xbox-one. I had to solve the final code via trial and error. Still a good game until now.

  • OttoTieleman Otto Tieleman (@OttoTieleman) reported

    @OGG1993 Phil said 'Xbox says Game Pass subscribers ‘spend 20% more overall’ Game Pass is on a rise so how does this fit: "... a 6% drop in content and service revenue (games, DLC, subscriptions, etcetera) driven by lower engagement hours and monetization in third and first-party games"
