  • Gabecollins2001 Gabe collins (@Gabecollins2001) reported

    @DarkViperAU People overreacting, just because the optimization isn't good (specifically on pc as xbox has a fix and ps5 is already fine) dosnt make it a bad game

  • RhizomaticLamp Lampatesta (@RhizomaticLamp) reported

    I got elden ring but my Xbox controller is broken smh smh

  • ryaanbvb Ryan (@ryaanbvb) reported

    @_MartinDean @BVB_Abdullah Rose does not have an Xbox controller pushing all the buttons to make Mats Hummels constantly make errors

  • sussysuspect Brandon (@sussysuspect) reported

    @FortniteGame Fix your ******* game **** won’t load on Xbox for 3 days

  • GuyUnderdog UnderdogGuy (@GuyUnderdog) reported

    @JoeMiller101 @N_X_G The Xbox versions are pathetic , from software cleary forget those , the loadings Times are specially are a total car Crash 🤦

  • Vivdoku Viviどの (@Vivdoku) reported

    @memextrimis Think it's bc they finally fixed the issues people had and then added some extra stuff from the xbox version I believe?

  • Zakatoke_ Zakatoke (@Zakatoke_) reported

    @N_U_GG_3_I_S Oh yeah. Articles all over saying people are having issues. Then there's Lobos who PnP'd his Xbox One controller and it worked right away

  • KudanMX Julio Rivera (@KudanMX) reported

    @GenePark I hear PS fanboys call Xbox users "pileros" in LATAM, something like "batteriers", not a huge issue for me as atm i play close to my consoles and can play with a USB cable, more worried about how future proof-less PS controllers are, no options at all, specially for a Dual Shock3

  • BodhisattvaPGH Bodhisattva (@BodhisattvaPGH) reported

    @Lewie_B_ @ZachariusD I personally don’t game enough on Xbox to justify an elite. The only reason Microsoft has batteries is because of the stupid corporate deal they have with Duracell. I have legit never been annoyed with my dual sense controllers but again I use the dock and rotate. Zero issues.

  • soren_metz Sören Metz (@soren_metz) reported

    @charlieINTEL @XboxSupport please fix it 😢

  • SvtTerminator TerminatorSVT (@SvtTerminator) reported

    @ID_AA_Carmack It would have the same problem as xbox: games. Console gamers have specific tastes in Japanese style console games favoring story, music, character development, etc. Not western style green brown grey 10x10 boxes where people just shoot each other over and over in 16k HDR...

  • SushESensA Nate Rosenbloom (@SushESensA) reported

    @LogicalLime29 @IsG_Rampage @GameSpot Like i don’t wanna see Elden Ring getting 10/10 scores when it has problems holding 60 frames on next-gen consoles. I already dealt with that crap for 4 years on Xbox One X. Nobody wants games that are balanced for some ppl but not every1. Just trying to make myself clear

  • sillygamer19 🏳️‍⚧️ Diane 🌺 (@sillygamer19) reported

    Playing Elden Ring on Xbox Series S right now, it's very good. For those wondering about the technical side of this game, there are some framerate/pacing issues but it's not too bad at all, Elden Ring is very, very good on Xbox Series S!

  • 9XLove9 R (@9XLove9) reported

    @MatriXcian @blueisviolet Loading in 99% of the games faster on XS but like i said this game even rtx 3080 has problems with it and has very bad drops XSX is much better with vrr ..its very smooth..who care about 7vs12 seconds when the framerate is much better DF as always will said Xbox better with vrr

  • FallenAngelD_ cd (@FallenAngelD_) reported

    @Lolimolester420 yeah it’s a problem with the controller, my xbox 360 controller works fine

  • TisSarahBarah TisSarahBarah (@TisSarahBarah) reported

    Is anyone having issues with controllers or keyboard not recognizing on @ELDENRING It says I'm using an Xbox controller and won't recognize my keyboard, but it won't recognize any of my controllers either (tried Xbox 1, Series X, PS4, and PS5) #ELDENRING

  • destinyspile Oxford Comma Chameleon (@destinyspile) reported

    @RomeGoLARGE Why would Xbox fans give a **** about a Sony service?

  • Aloy12798226 Aloy (@Aloy12798226) reported

    @TurboChards @Perlrulez @The_CrapGamer I’ve only heard of them shutting down and having to be rebooted not bricking. So I guess Xbox is over clocking too then I can’t get more than an hour into a game before it over heats and shuts itself off. Won’t let me turn it back on or anything. I have not had this issue with PS

  • its_TBD1 TBD (@its_TBD1) reported

    Please @Microsoft @Xbox explain to me how you can quote close to £200 (without shipping to Germany) to fix a known issue with your #seriesS console when I could just easily go and buy a new 1 for around the same price (including shipping) It just doesn't get ant funnier

  • Jesterface84 👑 Tim Lee (newly crowned) (@Jesterface84) reported

    @SnowTheEnby @ZachariusD Well I casually spent more than that. I have a PC, couple Xbox’s, 4000 sq Ft house, a Supra, an Audi, a family van, and an income from my success. **** my camera setup costed upwards of 5K. What’s the problem? Hell I fly drones that cost more than $1K.

  • charcuterie1444 Marie Antoinette Arc (@charcuterie1444) reported

    @defrenestration See the problem is I dont have a console, my roommate has an Xbox, but do I wanna buy a game and only be able to play it for the next 1.5 years I live with him? Like I played Dark souls 3 for more than just 1.5 years, would suck to not be able to play it longer

  • GamingGuy88 Tyler (@GamingGuy88) reported

    @GaidenXP Yeah even the “next gen” versions are having frame rate issues, so it seems like, at least for the time being, that playing it on PS4 or Xbox One may be best if you don’t have a high end enough PC.

  • DoctorSaiyus Geoff (@DoctorSaiyus) reported

    @fatherHank I was running into the same issue, tried big picture and multiple controllers, ended up enabling steam input for Xbox and playstation, turning off steam overlay, and reinstalled the game. Made sure my controller was plugged in before booting the game.

  • GamerGeeksTodd SNARCast (@GamerGeeksTodd) reported

    @edgarballz @GenePark Why do you even care, pony boy? You have no problem harassing Xbox fans.

  • J_D_H___ J.D.H (@J_D_H___) reported

  • DanimalATA Danny Morgan (@DanimalATA) reported

    @JohnKimbl3 My buddy had the same issue with both ps4 and Xbox controllers.

  • oldmategamer OldMateGamer (@oldmategamer) reported

    @TheGladihater Yes it's a big IF at this stage And it's likely that if the annual sub remains they might well look to devalue the base service offering to push people up to higher tiers a la Xbox People think PS+ is a rip off, but it's actually cost neutral at worst and a bargain at best
