Xbox Live Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • GazDeMink Gaz De Mink (@GazDeMink) reported

    That Apex Legends update is making the game borderline unplayable on Xbox. Lag spikes + code:net, every game. @PlayApex

  • Lilla32655323 Lilla (@Lilla32655323) reported

    @Respawn Could you guys help me out. I have an xbox xeries x, i did the update and the game not working :( like its unable to connect and doesnt show any date center??? Re-installed the whole game still the same....

  • Ace28020651 Ace (@Ace28020651) reported

    @KourtsideKing @Armataan @JuankandaJuan Yes, it's literally the same thing. Xbox Live, or if you want to call it "Xbox Network" which nobody does, is not a sub service. And XBL Gold does not have 90 million subscribers

  • Ky_AnCom KY ⒶN☭OM the Himbo Carelord ❤🖤 (@Ky_AnCom) reported

    Just got an e-mail from @Walmart with news that delivery for my Xbox Series X has been delayed. After scouring the internet for a customer service number, I was finally able to speak to someone about it.

  • dabiddesu dabiddesu | KNUCKLES SZN (@dabiddesu) reported

    at this point, all PlayStation has is a better lineup of exclusives. Xbox has the better hardware, better OS, better game streaming service, better PR, and better budget options

  • IridescentMage Ethan (@IridescentMage) reported

    @WickedGame69 @getonthestiix No they care they just can't compare Playstation plus to xbox live because there are 100 million xbox live users counting the 25 million who have upgraded to gamepass. So they compare gamepass which is a game service to ps plus which only let's you play live and is half the price

  • Ero_Neko Matamune Neko (@Ero_Neko) reported

    @astaranx I disagree. The quality of Sony's service was expected even if Gamepass doesn't exists. In fact if Sony keep the aproach, it will only strenghten the Xbox service because everyone will notice how better it is.

  • DarthSentinel Brandon Mitchell (@DarthSentinel) reported

    @FortniteStatus My sound for the game itself stopped working, and its not a settings issue and my xbox and tv are fine

  • DislexicPotato DislexicPotato☘️ (@DislexicPotato) reported

    @Sorren115 Definitely a disaster but I would say the Wii U was a lot worse, at least the Xbox One had a good online service, gamepass and plenty of software.

  • randleboyjay jay (@randleboyjay) reported

    @RepentantSky @Wildbergerrrr @Nibellion Why do PS fans think every criticism of Sony means that the other person favors Xbox.. add that to the list of reasons they’re the worst. No I don’t think Xbox is perfect, but Sony needs to fix some issues they already have before they start charging people $120.

  • Red47Dragon Red 47 Dragon Gaming (@Red47Dragon) reported

    @Respawn How about the audio issue on the xbox next gen has a reverb sound and makes Apex pretty much unplayable. Please fix that issue and let us know when that is fixed.

  • KourtsideKing Joey McDermott (@KourtsideKing) reported

    @Ace28020651 @Armataan @JuankandaJuan Believe what you want, my friend. As of right now, Xbox Live Gold is a subscription service that allows for multiplayer play on the Xbox Network. I think you may be getting confused with the old name of the online infrastructure (previously ‘Xbox Live’, now ‘Xbox Network’).

  • GethElder Geth_Elder  (@GethElder) reported

    @CrazyCliff_ @JimSterling Why not on Switch? It’s my game on my account. Xbox let’s me play OG and 360 digital games on XSX. Stop defending the mega corporation, they don’t need it. Ask why they provide such poor service instead.

  • BoyTapia92 Luis Tapia (@BoyTapia92) reported

    @saltellezjr @Wario64 I bought an xbox expansion card from them on sale no problem, might buy this for the ps5 as well

  • matthew_reedy (miami) matt (@matthew_reedy) reported

    @XboxSupport it’s a new day! will my problems be fixed today??? my guess is no

  • alpha_wolf319 alpha_wolf319 (@alpha_wolf319) reported

    @Solidrev1 Sony even got their biggest elite fans stuck on more stupid with their post trying to defend that trash service pitch. I can't believe the adults today. Mf should be against this and demanding better. Isn't that what they always told Xbox fans. Hypocrites.

  • MasterFreeRider SlikRik (@MasterFreeRider) reported

    @Minecraft Thanks for forcing me to 'Migrate' my Minecraft account for a 2nd time. Fix your Gamertag Setup for Xbox! Didn't inform me that my name that was 'cleared' would actually be taken and it add 4 random numbers to the end of my name. Stupid.

  • SkyeTheNeko SkyeTheNeko New project coming soon! (@SkyeTheNeko) reported

    @ZhugeEX Also backwards compat is something that never should be a perk of a sub service and before someone says Xbox do it actually they don't you don't need Game Pass to play backwards compat games you can find them all in the MS Store DLC too and even physical copies work

  • Playjournal Playjournal (@Playjournal) reported

    @Saltiest_Gaming Xbox Live is the same as Playstation Network. It's a free service.

  • SkyRider805 Sky-Rider (@SkyRider805) reported

    @GTS_Tweets @Xbox @jronald All that is cool. But, mann...wish they would fix the damn DVR!! All my clips come out looking like ****!

  • Brandtmiles1 b (@Brandtmiles1) reported

    @zachk_1202 @OfficialXboxU Actually, the dude literally says the opposite, that he's fine waiting for games to hit a subscription service...which isn't what happens at all. Xbox GP is day and date...no waiting. Reading comprehension is important.

  • Mircath Colin Reilly (@Mircath) reported

    @PlayStation An Xbox Game Pass competitor? Not with those prices. Neither service by itself was really worth it, and now you pay a worse price than if you previously had both services together, and still get nothing new...

  • PandaHytale Zaxx (@PandaHytale) reported

    @EAHelp issues reported through xbox series s: Apex Ranked is broken, infinite loading screen at the legend select screen which kicks you out eventually without possibility to rejoin. -Apex voicechat is broken, My mic does work, and it shows the icon, but I cant talk ingame..

  • ChriGartner Christopher G. 🇩🇪❤️🇺🇦 (@ChriGartner) reported

    @kidsmoove Xbox live has 100 million. But that’s not a subscription service. Xbox Live Gold is. And dk why they leave that one out though

  • TheDark85775312 The Darkness (@TheDark85775312) reported

    @HNSOfficial_ Damn if PlayStation has no big exclusives Xbox has got literally nothing. Guess they’re in even more trouble than PlayStation

  • bravo_josh_ Josh Bravo (@bravo_josh_) reported

    @Austin_Hurley1 @Medborgeren @PlayApex Having the same issue. Read that a possible solution is to clear MAC address in Xbox setting. After I reconnected to internet, launched apex and that prompt was gone so I was able to get into the lobby. 🤷

  • jaeman63 Jaeman63 (@jaeman63) reported

    @GuyThat92 @RomeGoLARGE Cool Sony and their fans agree it's not sustainable for investing in big titles that sell 10 million + don't be mad just cuz we will get better or the same results from sony without stupid GP service only Xbox guys want it cuz they got tired of paying full price for **** games

  • launchpack1 ︎ ︎︎ ︎︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ (@launchpack1) reported

    @Rambo_Hair @ShayonBurman @marlisjun Oh sorry they gave away the last of us remastered. Not the last of us 2. Are you implying this isn’t a collection of Sony’s biggest flagship titles? I.e. the one redeemable thing about this streaming service. It definitely ain’t for third party when Xbox can pay more for those

  • LambentLordRAAM Silly Baka RAAM (@LambentLordRAAM) reported

    @thicc_stick_boi My question is why are ponies acting like Xbox users are gonna drop their console just get PlayStation for the service

  • Ludens74781390 Ludens (@Ludens74781390) reported

    @muzdbuz @Wend_Kell @Zuby_Tech Yeah Xbox live MAU is a very disingenuous number cause they force all the Minecraft players to login no matter what platform they play on.
