All I know is my friend remembered. I had an xbox series x so he reminded me to download grounded2
All I did was press Y to enter. The search area and that is what I saw
Does anybody have any idea what happened
Don't know why, but starting this week my controller would turn on fine and then the light will start flashing (disconnecting) and then reconnecting a few seconds later. This happens frequently and randomly throughout the entire time I'm playing something. I've shaken my controller to try and replicate it and it doesn't work. It happens whether the controller is plugged in or using batteries. It happens on any game I play.
Oddly enough it happened to my friend first (online, not in person) while we were playing a game together and then the next day started happening to me on my controller and console.
I've updated my controller, console, hard reset my console, changed batteries, bent the metal pieces in the battery holder to make the batteries fit better, all to no avail. Has this happened to anyone else before and are there any known fixes? I don't believe my controller is broken since the exact same thing is happening to my friend too. We live across town from each other so it's not like it's an issue with just one console.
haven’t even had this thing for a full year and I clean everything around it. Why is it having troubles reading discs? Is it Xbox purposely trying to kill physical games? Or is the series x known to kill it disc reader faster then a Xbox one
I swear if I spend another 700 dollars or rebuy every phycal game digitally I’m gonna be so done
EDIT: I've tried restarting it and everything, it hasn't changed anything 💔 lowk might have to give up :(
This is my first reddit post so I'm sorry if I just sound retarded; I don't know how to work reddit but I know people on here are freakishly smart with things so maybe someone can help me. It also says that there might be something wrong with the disc, but I've looked at it multiple times and it seems fine??
My friend had just recently gifted me CoD Black Ops 2 via the Microsoft store. I got the redeem code on my Xbox and redeemed it and it said I had received the game. I try to download it this morning but I can't find it in my library yet on my Xbox app it says I have it and can install it. So I try this and it works, but it wont launch the game.
alright so
tl;dr
My wife recently got super into Minecraft which means she had to set up an Xbox Account and all that. She cannot change or upload, at-fucking-all, any custom picture on the app or PC. Any help on how to fix this would be super appreciated.
A bit more detail:
So the last time I changed my xbox profile picture I had to upload the .png to my xbox on a thumbdrive then pull it off the thumbdrive onto the console itself which then let me change it.
That is not an option right now given that I don't have any consoles anymore and I am not about to go and drop however much on a console to do this.
Xbox support is naturally useless to try and get this fixed so I'm asking here:
How do you change the Xbox profile picture to a custom .png/.jpg/image and not one of the standard ones? It should not be this hard to do.
All she wants to do is upload a photo of the anime character her minecraft skin is based on since she is literally only going to use her XBox account to play minecraft and thats it.
Again any help would be appreciated
Hey everyone im here with a question, my xbox series s suddenly sounded like this today when i turned it on,i was watching Netflix yesterday and it was fine but when i turned it on today I heard this (ive tried everything (resetting my tv/xbox and resetting sound)
Is there any way i can fix it?
I accidentally changed my Xbox gamer tag, is there any way to revert the change to get back the account tag? I’ve had it for over 10 years.
Went to a friend's house and logged in on his console and set it as my home so he can play some of my games. I did pick "lock it down" when signing in for the first time, and made sure to log out when I left (although the profile is still on the console).
Like on PCs in an Enterprise environment, anyone that hates you enough can just go your PC that's locked and type the wrong password a few times and it locks the account. Is something like that the same for Xbox?
My account has two factor and all the recovery info is up to date so, I guess that helps?
Although his attention span is so incredibly short just waiting the 5 seconds for the password screen to load is too long for him so maybe he won't do anything. lol
At first it was black flickering occasionally and then this happened
Now I've been looking into buying myself a Galaxy Black 2TB Xbox Series X (Now Discontinued) for a LOOOOONG while... I've been poking/looking on Facebook Marketplace for one, but I've wanted to be on the safer side and do my research, ESPECIALLY when buying a USED Series X (Xbox) or even Xbox One X (All Special Editions)...
How can I tell if a Marketplace listing is Legit or a Scam, what should I be looking out for? Seller Stars? or How well the seller Describes the Listing of the Xbox Console, or the Amount of Pictures taken to "Document" the Xbox Console?
I found two,
Xbox Series X #1: "New"
Seller Says: : "Brand new never used Xbox Series X Galaxy Black 2TB Special Edition",
with only two Pictures of the Box with the Original Seal still intact
Asking $650 USD
Xbox Series X #2: "Used"
Seller Says: "Got the Xbox series X 2 years ago when they first came out November 2024. Got the elite controller last year November 2025( only used for less then 5 mins) mainly play on the regular controller, I’m tryna get rid of both as a bundle and comes with 2TB expansion so overall 4TB total. 2TB internal and 2TB external. Local pickup Only".
Asking $600 USD

All the background still moves and the animations still work the picture is just FUCKED and I’m really panicking. Please can somebody help me
EDIT: no need to freak out I just reset the tv settings and it fixed it !! Thanks for the all help !
There is a current issue going around for some of us who are trying to install or update games, and it's taking hours. The download starts off fine, then it drops speeds constantly till there is none left, and it will start back up again. I just want to say it is NOT your Xbox dying or your internet! It's apparently a Microsoft problem on their end. I've factory reset and cleared all my storages, I've called my ISP, and my modem and speeds are fine. On my Xbox, my games and apps run fine as well. Sadly, there is nothing we can do ourselves. Just be patient and wait it out. I had 94 games installed and reinstalling even half of those have taken about a week, so I feel your guys' frustration. In the meantime of this BS, all I can say is just prioritize what you wanna play and update and install when you're away from the console. If you start to install a game and try to play, it will sometimes stop you from booting up an app or game (at least for me). I'm just typing all this out to help people who are annoyed and want answers before they sell their Xbox or send it to the shop to get fixed when there is nothing wrong.

System Conflict: Backwards-compatible Xbox 360 Guide triggers automated network spam blocks
I am submitting this bug report to highlight a severe telemetry flaw affecting the Xbox 360 backwards-compatibility messaging and invitation systems.
When users interact with standard multiplayer matchmaking tools within the native Xbox 360 Guide menu, normal use of core features is triggering automated profile blocks under the modern network safety layer. Legitimate profile restrictions are occurring while using two fully supported, native menu tabs well within their allowed parameters:
The "Message" Interface: Utilizing the native "Send a message to one or more people" feature to contact a total of only six recent players to coordinate a match lobby.
The "Game Invite" Interface: Utilizing the built-in mass invite tool to invite players to an active game lobby, which explicitly directs users to this function with the prompt: "Invite others to play a game."
The current automated network filter is misidentifying standard, low-volume match communication (such as messaging just six individuals) on the 360 emulator as malicious spam bot behavior. This creates a functional loop where players are restricted for utilizing multiplayer features far below the console UI's actual capacity. This issue is affecting millions of xbox users who simply want to invites others to play under xbox 360 guide under message tab that directly allows users to check multiple recipients at the same time to coordinate in-game match.
I tried to play a game but my console said it wasn’t downloaded so i check all my games and they’re all gone except for one and same with my apps. I checked the external game drive only to find out that my console is saying it isn’t there and I’ve tried restarting it and moving usb ports and that didn’t work so could anybody help??
Edit: I tried to install the stuff back but it won’t even pop up in the queue.
I’ve been trying to download UFC 6 on my Xbox for the past two days. Each time I’ve tried to do it, it’s either super slow (I’m talking 10 gbs in a hour and a half) or doesn’t download at all. I saw another post talking about a power cycle, which I have tried multiple times, and each time it’ll start off super fast (200 mbps) then quickly trickle down to not downloading at all. There will be moments that the 200 mbps will come back, but then again it will quickly drop back to not downloading at all. I’ve never had this problem before.
Please help, all I’m trying to do is play with my friends.
My Xbox is capped at around one hundred fifty megabits per second on both speed tests and game downloads, despite a gigabit plan. Every other device on my network gets full gigabit speeds. I’ve tested the Xbox plugged directly into my modem, my main router, and a secondary router, same cap every time. I’ve also reset the MAC address, changed DNS, swapped cables and ports, and ruled out packet loss as the cause. This started after moving houses with identical equipment, ruling out my network or ISP.
anyone got a fix for this because it’s very frustrating. It worked fine until I moved.
If i buy a physical copy of a game I already own digitally, can I transfer the save file? Also will it show twice on my SSD ?
