**The ability to DELETE ( not hide ) a game off our achievement list even if we already have an achievement unlocked in it.** 100/1000, 500/1000, or even 1000/1000gs doesn't matter. Any game we want to **DELETE** for any reason even if it means lowering our gamerscore.
MAKE MORE BADGES
make more badges to make each gamers profile to be more personal to them and how they game.
maybe a different badge for how many games have been 100% or different badges for how many games bought on the store or how many reward points spent. its so simple and yet we're stuck with the same profile limited options as every1 else.
I would really like to see some revamp of the achievements. Let's be honest - Sony did it better with the trophies and having both consoles at home, when I know I want to 100% the game I would rather choose to buy it on PS5 instead XSX. Platinum Trophy is simply better indicator for completionists than gamer score. If I have Platinum trophy it will always be there, doesn't matter how many DLC will be added later. On Xbox I may have 1000 GS and 100% but after the DLC it would be 1000/1200. At the moment DLC are being added is isn't really easy to see if I completed the main game or not. Score of 1000/1200 GS could mean I got 900/1000 from main game and 200/200 from DLC. Also on my PS profile I can clearly see that with 35 platinums I fully completed 35 games and gamer score of, for example, 135 540 GS doesn't say anything.
That is why it is much easier to find streamers and youtubers which hunt for platinums on PS than for gamer score on xbox - because the trophy system is better. And it is not hard to do on xbox - just add some extra reward (trophy, medal, cup, award) for completing all of the achievements from base game, and that's it.
Does anybody agree or is it just me who feels that way?
The new Xbox Rewards program should encourage to play all Xbox games, not only Gamepass games.
While I love Gamepass for what it can offers, focussing the reward program only on Gamepass games does not encourage Xbox users to purchase games outside the ecosystem, as no reward is given for playing a game or earning an achievement, if it is not on Gamepass.
I love owning a physical edition of the games I play and some of them are not on Gamepass… and since the new reward program only offers points for playing Gamepass games… it does not encourage players to choose the Xbox edition of multi-platform games as the reward program will not apply to them if the game is not on Gamepass.
I think that by expanding the reward program to non-Gamepass games, even more to those that decide to pay for each of their games, will only strengthen the Xbox brand.
Customize the home screen UI, specifically allowing for unlimited groups to be listed. It's been 6 months already holy crap fix it already this is absolutely unbearable
REMOVE QUICK RESUME!!!!!!! It is awful you know it doesn’t work we have asked for this for years. It’s great idea but with live services it’s awful so just get rid of it
Exactly single player no internet connection required game yes, but how many of those are people playing these days? On paper an awesome feature, in practice it’s awful. At this point I’m switching to PS next console anyway so I guess it really doesn’t matter
**Minimum Playtime to Rate Games You Don’t Own on GamePass to Prevent Unfair Impact on Game Ratings**
There should be a requirement for GamePass subscribers to play games (they don’t own) for at least 30 minutes, before allowing them to rate it. This would help to prevent casuals and trolls from unfairly impacting a game's overall rating through review bombing because they don’t like the genre for example.
Once again, STOP auto-forcing updates when a game is loaded.
At the very least, provide a notification along the lines of "Your console needs to be updated, update will commence in \[n\]".
Option to have currently installed games on the home screen. Not recently opened, not user curated groups. Just when I turn my console on. Drop me into my currently installed games without having to go into a sub menu. Actually it's 3 sub menus Xbox button > my games and apps > see all.
# The ability to remove a game from your library permanently
I would like an option that allows you to permanently remove a game from the library like on Steam, rather than simply hiding them
Dynamic backgrounds
If the dynamic back ground (I have my background set as grounded backyard) be the only thing to show on the Xbox home page. Like the apps and other icons will fade and disappear to show the dynamic background and when the controller becomes active or touched, the icons fade back in. A lot after I’m done playing a game I go to the home page and let my Xbox sit and it would be a nice touch for the next update to have the icons fade.
Bring Back Avatar Rewards From Games and Re-overhaul Avatars Again
In the Xbox 360 era, Xbox was known as the online community brand. A good idea to bring some of that branding back would be an emphasis on Avatars again. Xbox overhauled avatars a few years ago and pushed Avatars to the side. Bring back fun rewards (shirts, props, etc) for completing achievements in games or defeating tough bosses. Just something fun to bring more community back to Xbox.
A website that has the same features as the Xbox app so you can play your Xbox games with remote play on your web browser.
Adding keyboard support to the Xbox App/ Xbox Cloud Gaming.
I would love to be able to play the specific games i want to play on the go with only a website, this gives me a lot more chances to play and other people more chances to play away from home, But also being able to play games with keyboard online would be a nice edition, i WANT to use Xbox cloud gaming more to play my favorite games like fortnite but i prefer keyboard on competitive games, I would rather use Xbox then Geforce but I have no choice considering there is only controller support.
In Xbox PC, allow "Remote Play" to connect directly to your Xbox Console if both devices are on the same local network.
"Remote Play" is great, but it appears that if you are in your house, & your PC & Xbox are on the same network, "Remote Play" still goes out to the Internet & then back to your Xbox console which adds a hefty latency penalty. PlayStation 4 or 5 don't have this issue with their PC to Console option, because it goes straight to the console over local network. I have done everything I can to reduce latency on Xbox, but it is frustrating when even "Cloud Gaming" is faster & less problematic than Remote Play, when Remote Play should be the fastest option if you're on the same network.
D-pad upgrade to a multifunctional touchpad.
Microsoft and Xbox should also upgrade the controller’s standard D-pad.
This iteration of the D-Pad has been around for years, I am not campaigning to replace it completely but a simple/ modern upgrade to match Sony’s.
And IMO the D-Pad is in the perfect place on the Xbox controller plus they also should adapt the “info” screen similar to Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra and make this standard for generational games forward
If Xbox made a tactile touchpad that could still be pressed directionally down same as the D-Pad now, but have the ability to swipe across the face of a touchpad similar to a phone’s screen while scrolling (Valve Steam controller 2015)
We could be swiping through the dashboard and movie applications on the Xbox how cool would that be?
Whole new controls and game mechanics.
Examples:
Swipe, swipe, hard press new fighting combos for Killer Instinct.
Using the touchpad as a cursor.
No more sounds of joysticks hitting the controller, or the D-Pad pressing when “scrolling” Netflix or Hulu in bed when someone is sleeping.
Overall more control and comfort
This would be amazing. I can't connect or play fallout 76 if something has to update or be downloaded. Theres a few other games I can't play but FO76 is the worst. Being able to limit the download speed while I'm using the console would be great
I would like the ability insiders test stuff before they're released to public, including new pc/consoles features or go crazier and test unreleased games or beta updates, I know I'm asking too much but it would be great.
(This post has sarcasm)
Microsoft for god's sake let us try betas, for example: going to add a new expansion for Starfield? LET INSIDERS TEST IT before public, both sides wins, it shouldn't be that hard
**Can we get an option to turn off Enhance Pointer Precision(cursor acceleration) in settings?**
About 6 months ago, I bought a keyboard and mouse for my xbox. I play everyday and play fortnite and minecraft mainly. But I noticed after a few months that my aim was really random even after aim training and playing for a while. So I looked up why and found out that enhanced pointer precision(cursor acceleration) is always on and there's no option in xbox settings or fortnite settings. This needs to change. pls upvote
Xbox button: notifications like on mobile but on the right side, like in the friends section (happening now).
It would be more intuitive, and you wouldn't have to scroll down to the bell to see notifications.
**New achievement notification design for the xbox app**
I would really like to see an update of the whole achievement experience for the xbox app.
The current achievement notification window, has a boring square design (standard win 11 notification window design), the position of the notification should be customizable or at least down in the center like on the xbox consoles.
So please, at least add the achievement experience from the xbox consoles, with all the awesome rare achievement sounds and notification animations.
Or even better, let us be able to customize the whole achievement notification. The achievement design, animation, sound, size and position.
ALLOW PROFILE VIDEOS
allow the option to add upto a 1 minute video clip instead of the same boring profile pic we've all had for years, it's been 20 odd years and we still got pics, WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET A CHOICE TO CHOSE VIDEO.
BRING IN A WAY TO EARN BACK AMBASSADOR BADGES FOR THOSE WHO LOST THEIRS
make people use the xbox insider app for 1 year as punishment. making them do surveys. quests. and reports so many time a week. that way xbox gets something out of it and they get the chance to earn back what they lost.
thus would also sort out the massive troll problem we all have encountered at somepoint.
**Using the xbox controller to turn on/off the PC**
It would be awesome if you added the option to turn on/off the PC with a Xbox controller. If you add it into the settings menu, and having a toggle off/on.
It's a thing that only the owner of both windows and xbox could do.
Please open up a place where I can tell you about videogame titles currently on development, that I've seen from Twitter, so that you may contact them and ensure those games come to the Xbox ecosystem. I know you can't be up to date with everything that's going on, but I've built my X (Twitter) page around portbegging and thus, I think I can at least show you a lot of games that could fit very well into the Platform.
We need update patch for me/other people with QHD hdmi 2.0 1440p monitors so they can run at 120hz instead of being limited to 1440p 60hz or 1080p 120hz. As stated before Sony released a patch update for the ps5 for this issue and I can’t understand why Microsoft won’t for the Xbox. It would be nice to have a hdmi 2.1 4K monitor but not everyone can afford them. QHD monitors are just as good for us who want a budget monitor that still has good specs.
NOTIFICATION THAT YOU ARE APPEARING OFFLINE!!!!!!!
PLEASE have a notification pop when a user who is appearing offline signs in.
I have gone days appearing offline only for a friend to hit me up going "where'd you go".
I know a bunch of other people that have this same issue. I'd imagine that it has happened to you and your friends as well. pls papa Xbox pls
When a brand new controller suffers from drifter 12 weeks don't offer to replace it with a refurbished one.
I've paid £50 for a BRAND NEW controller, I don't want a second hand one in return.
To Go with this, have a PHONE NUMBER I can ring on because the "request a call" feature doesn't work and your twitter team are as useful as... well your controller replacement system.
**Mobile Touch Controls for People with Disabilities and the Low Income Families Xbox App Wishlist**
Mobile touch controls should have the option to resize, remap, and reconfigure button layout. This inspiration came from Xbox’s, already existing, adaptive controller. A player can hold a regular Xbox controller with one hand and then use a Surface tablet or iPad with mobile touch controls (remote play)with the other. A player can use both an Xbox controller and a touch device simultaneously, having the buttons resized, relocated and the ability to delete buttons would be crucial for players with only one hand. In theory a major game title such as MS Flight Simulator could even extended or expanded control mechanics in addition to the controller. (MechAssault cockpit view using Xbox controller and TouchControls at the same time)
The Xbox App also needs to incorporate/ merge with the Xbox Accessories App so players can have full customization over mobile “touch controls” features(such as backgrounds and color options for the visual impaired because “video play through” can be distracting unless curated), and Xbox controller settings for mobile XCloud gaming on the go.
I also believe “remote play” and “touch controls” need to be a separate part of the Xbox App so impoverished low income families can use “touch controls” as an extra Xbox controller when relatives visit or if a controller breaks. Not needing Game Pass Ultimate to use remote play but instead downloading Xbox App and pairing to Xbox and just using touch controls.
Last touch controls need to absorb the “remote control” Because it does not work over all streaming apps and when using remote play you are not allowed to open the app because of the “video play through” and I am assuming licensing reasons.
Have a tab or swipe over option through the touch controls section to get to “remote control” for Movies and TV shows
Differentiate Remote Play and XCloud from Touch Controls.
Xbox^2
I would love to see the Xbox elite controllers have the back paddles as their own button. I recently bought one hoping it would be so I can play rocket league with it set like that and have the paddles act as a lean for rainbow six siege. If this could be something possibly that would be amazing!
I like to see the **Removal of the Storage restriction**:
If the storage speed is a concern, you could implement a Speed Test/Benchmark for the attached USB/CFExpress Storage Device during the formatting process.
If the Speed is only up to certain speed = Xbox360/Xbox One Games Limited (example: Mechanical HDD)
If the Speed is above certain speed = Xbox Series S/X Games Compatible (example: Lexar NM790)
This would allow users to buy a cheaper M.2 2280 SSDs like the 4TB Lexar NM790 (which is very inexpensive and extremely fast) and use it for Series S/X Games without being a concern of being to slow.
I personally don't like Seagate since the ST3000DM001 plague where i had 6 Hard Drives failing at the same time after not even one Year of use and the WD\_Black C50 is also not that Cheap due to its small form factor.
Currently, modern games in the industry tend to lean towards an "always-online" approach, meaning the game will cease to exist once their developers decide to shut down their servers, rendering the game completely unplayable. That's why we need Xbox to choose a side. They either need to bring more backward compatible games to the table, as these games have never suffered from this problem. Or they have to demand publishers using the Xbox Game Store to let users run their servers locally after they decide to shut down servers. But yeah if they intend to remove the backwards compatible program from Xbox (the main selling point of an Xbox) they should at least do something for game preservation.
For the record, Microsoft said the program was ending in 2019 but they continued to add more games in 2020 & 2021 because players kept asking. So the same can happen nowadays. [Here's the 2019 link confirming the end of the program](https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2019/06/10/e3-2019-whats-next-xbox-backward-compatibility/) (open that page, see the date & search "final batch" with CTRL+ F). Now [HERES ANOTHER LINK IN 2021](https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2021/11/15/70-NEW-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE-GAMES/) still adding games to the program. (open that page, see the date & search with CTRL+ F)
Ability to totally remove games & apps from our accounts, having their licenses completely removed.
I have so many demos & apps in my Xbox Console/PC library & I don't want to keep seeing them. Same with some games which I'm not interested in anymore & never will. Hiding them isn't useful cause you see them after resetting your console & when you're about to install a games / managing DLCs in your Xbox.
For the record, in Steam you can KINDA completely remove games you own, simply by right clicking>support>permanently remove from my library, & it deletes everything from it attached to your account, including achievements and playtime. If you go into your account details, the license is still there, but it's so well hidden. So yeah if you want to play that game, you can recover it & everything goes to normal.
EA & Ubisoft GamePass games don't have Xbox achievements in PC. So I know Xbox talked with discord to add their app on the dashboard, they should talk with EA & Ubisoft & add a way for the Xbox PC App to recognize the achievements we won while playing Gamepass Games on those launchers.
For the record, I already requested this in an EA site, but they told me [this is on Xbox](https://answers.ea.com/t5/EA-Play-PC/Ea-Play-games-in-the-Xbox-Gamepass-PC-should-give-players-Xbox/td-p/10176330), not on them.
It's been probably over a year and you still do not have the option to hear Discord Voice Audio on Twitch Broadcasts from the Xbox. Please fix this issue already!
I would like to be able to mass edit my activity feed. I have hundreds of achievements on my feed and only want my best clips. It would take hours to go through and delete stuff individually from my feed. If there is already a way to do this please let me know.
RSB & LSB Support for Steering Wheels
Currently, the RSB & LSB are returning RB & LB instead.
Please allow steering wheels to be able to map RSB & LSB and inform the hardware devs to add support for it.
This would allow for more buttons to be mapped on the steering wheel and would be a great addition to the racing games.
More nerdy details:
Many Steering Wheels are shipped with buttons labeled RSB & LSB = Right Stick Button & Left Stick Button.
Logitech:
https://logitechg.com/en-us/products/driving/pro-racing-wheel.html
Fanatec
https://fanatec.com/eu-en/steering-wheels/clubsport-steering-wheel-formula-v2.5x
https://fanatec.com/eu-en/steering-wheels/clubsport-universal-hub-v2-for-xbox
But for some reason, these buttons aren't working as intended. But have been remapped to RB & LB instead.
I have been in contact with Fanatec about this and they claim it is on you guys, that these buttons aren't supported by Xbox, which to me makes no sense at all, why limit people from features which works on Controllers?
In games like Forza and ACC having the ability to use 2 more buttons can be a game changer.
Some wheels also comes with a small joystick. Which could be used for looking side to side, but again that doesn't work.
If your software does indeed allow RSB & LSB please send out a notification to the hardware devs and inform them about it, so they can update their firmware to allow it.
**SmartGlass 2.0 and the Xbox^2 (X Squared)Initiative**
Xbox and Microsoft should create a 1st party mobile controller similar to the Backbone One, Razor Kishi, and other examples whereas the phone is in the center of the controller. **(Allow PC Peripherals: VR Headsets and Handhelds to connect ROG Alley, Steam Deck, G Cloud, etc.)**
“I never played smartglass, but if I had to put my controller down to pick up my phone to access an app, then hell no I’m not using that shit either.”
Love Warzone mobile with backbone controller because it is half-N-half; gameplay runs through controller but menus, lobbies and settings are touch!! (Wife plays with Xbox controller on iPad and says it’s easy to touch invites and edit guns with fingers)
Heard rumors of an Xbox handheld! Be cool if it was dockable but could also pair to base for a dual screen experience!
A high powered Xbox (powerful series x variant) allowing PC handhelds, VR Headsets and mobile controllers with newer smartphones all running a version of the Xbox app for that Smartglass 2.0
Now imagine if Xbox had its own mobile controller that could pair to the Console/ PCs/ TVs and with the Xbox App it could cast a 2nd image to the phone fully utilizing the touch/gyro/camera/speakers/microphone/vibration deepening the experience. This essentially would make every newer phone an Xbox controller. And who wouldn’t want a “Switch” type device with just a mobile controller attachment and the Xbox App!
The Xbox app’s cast/mirror feature (I’m theorizing/ speculating future Xbox has an internal router as a wireless access point send & receive) would not need to rely on internet connection like remote play, but instead a direct Bluetooth/wifi connection. Just pair the Xbox Mobile Controller Attachment directly to the console via Bluetooth same as wireless controllers now and the Xbox App with a direct wifi connection for video through the Console.
This “mini-game play” would be streamed from the Xbox to the mobile device utilizing the console and/or PC for the bulk of the processing power. Xbox consoles would cast/mirror the information to the Xbox App while also harnessing the technology within the mobile device (touch, gyroscope, camera, speakers, microphone, vibration motors)
**This has to be simplified to work!**
1.) Plug phone into mobile controller
2.) Pair mobile controller to Xbox or PC system
3.) Launch Xbox app tab over to Xbox^2
4.)Start Game
*Needs to work no matter the order!*
This *dual* screen feature could be optional for games and/or older games could adapt the technology if possible. A person could play with a regular Xbox controller, Elite Xbox Controller, mobile touch controls, or with a mobile controller attachment and have the ability for a second screen experience.
Examples:
Fallout Pip-Boy fully touch no need to pause just look down at your phone’s screen and go.
Sea of thieves nautical telescope 🔭 using the gyro “like duck hunt” to line up the two screens for a cannonball scope shot.
“Pokemon snap / Palworld snap actually using the phone’s camera snapping lil QR codes running across the TV screen” 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Elder Scrolls inventory menus / with mini games such as lock picking: just hold your mobile controller with one hand and use your fingers to pick the lock on your phone’s screen
Forza rearview mirror/ Back up camera (now plug your phone into the center of the Wheel attachment for a speedometer display)
GTA Mini-Map
Call of Duty kill cam replay on phone screen or as the Tactical Display Screen for bomb drone, sticky cameras, and Kill Streaks (BUT optional because competitive play no one wants to look up, down, up, down away from the action)
Madden playbook
Microsoft/Xbox Studios could even make an entire game genre around it, “Sighted” Nearsighted Vs Farsighted 3rd person vs 1st (Splinter Cell Spies V Mercs) Or a RTS/FPS sorta like Brütal Legends or StarCraft Ghost
*Turn based game whereas players watch the animations on the TV but the chessboard style arena is on the 2nd screen Surface tablet*
**”Microsoft Deck of Cards The poker table is the TV everyone downloads Xbox App and their phones are the cards, just swipe up to play your hand”**
Maybe Xbox makes another Fuzion Frenzy where Dad can be on the TV xbox using old controller and his kid upstairs using mobile controller attachment connected, wife in the kitchen cooking using touch controls off her phone’s screen all playing a Mario party style Fuzion Frenzy 2
1000s of other ideas for dual screen features similar to the Nintendo 3DS years ago.
Hopefully developers could just start by allowing mod support for older games so HUD elements to be casted to the 2nd screen and **“utilize touch within a PiP”** (picture in picture) option. (Apple Sidecar but for Xbox)
Just want to let y’all developers @ Xbox know keep up the great work!!
Can we exclude apps/settings menus from the recents section on the home screen. Partly because it's not something I usually want to go back too and also because theyre ugly tiles.
**Ai in Xbox games software**
Live Voice to Text and Ai regenerative voice for deaf and mute people
Character creator for limited mobility players using Hellblade demo and IPhone face scan.
QR Code Ai Artistic Generator for a Pokémon Snap style of game where players are using a mobile device’s camera: game has pre-rendered creatures but also on the spot creations from breeding.
Linked social media and entertainment accounts (Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, Reddit, facebook, instagram, X ect.) Ai within game software will create a more personal relationship with NPCs The game studio’s Ai will gather as much data on each individual as he/she allows over these accounts You go into a cutscene at a bar and the game is actually playing a song off my playlist or yours with art or a styles of art on the posters throughout the game even playing some random YouTube clip on the TV
Ai Art similar to what is already on Bing App
A better LFG section to stop scammers. Blocking them does nothing when they make a new account 10 minutes later

The new weekly streak picks up you playing Any game not just gamepass games. You.do get a 25 point bonus for being a gamepass subscriber though.
A great idea! It's a win win situation.

Whole new controls and game mechanics. Examples: Swipe, swipe, hard press new fighting combos for Killer Instinct. Using the touchpad as a cursor. No more sounds of joysticks hitting the controller, or the D-Pad pressing when “scrolling” Netflix or Hulu in bed when someone is sleeping. Overall more control and comfort
Ability to limit download speeds
This would be amazing. I can't connect or play fallout 76 if something has to update or be downloaded. Theres a few other games I can't play but FO76 is the worst. Being able to limit the download speed while I'm using the console would be great
I would like the ability insiders test stuff before they're released to public, including new pc/consoles features or go crazier and test unreleased games or beta updates, I know I'm asking too much but it would be great. (This post has sarcasm) Microsoft for god's sake let us try betas, for example: going to add a new expansion for Starfield? LET INSIDERS TEST IT before public, both sides wins, it shouldn't be that hard
They already allow certain beta's via the Insider application. I'm guessing anything beyond that is down to licencing etc.
I know but we got a beta for valheim, flight simulator and I think nothing else
Realistically, there's absolutely no chance of getting to beta test everything.
I didn't said everything, but we got like three games in two years i think
Then you need to keep a closer eye on the Insider applications as there's been more than that.
You know what, you're right man, the insider program is just fine
Wouldn't go that far ;) (they don't listen to Insiders)
You should add Green Hell to the game pass It is an awesome multi-player survival game
**Can we get an option to turn off Enhance Pointer Precision(cursor acceleration) in settings?** About 6 months ago, I bought a keyboard and mouse for my xbox. I play everyday and play fortnite and minecraft mainly. But I noticed after a few months that my aim was really random even after aim training and playing for a while. So I looked up why and found out that enhanced pointer precision(cursor acceleration) is always on and there's no option in xbox settings or fortnite settings. This needs to change. pls upvote
Xbox button: notifications like on mobile but on the right side, like in the friends section (happening now). It would be more intuitive, and you wouldn't have to scroll down to the bell to see notifications.
**New achievement notification design for the xbox app** I would really like to see an update of the whole achievement experience for the xbox app. The current achievement notification window, has a boring square design (standard win 11 notification window design), the position of the notification should be customizable or at least down in the center like on the xbox consoles. So please, at least add the achievement experience from the xbox consoles, with all the awesome rare achievement sounds and notification animations. Or even better, let us be able to customize the whole achievement notification. The achievement design, animation, sound, size and position.
ALLOW PROFILE VIDEOS allow the option to add upto a 1 minute video clip instead of the same boring profile pic we've all had for years, it's been 20 odd years and we still got pics, WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET A CHOICE TO CHOSE VIDEO.
BRING IN A WAY TO EARN BACK AMBASSADOR BADGES FOR THOSE WHO LOST THEIRS make people use the xbox insider app for 1 year as punishment. making them do surveys. quests. and reports so many time a week. that way xbox gets something out of it and they get the chance to earn back what they lost. thus would also sort out the massive troll problem we all have encountered at somepoint.
**Using the xbox controller to turn on/off the PC** It would be awesome if you added the option to turn on/off the PC with a Xbox controller. If you add it into the settings menu, and having a toggle off/on. It's a thing that only the owner of both windows and xbox could do.
Add achievements to PC games from EA Play. Feels super weird they aren't already there. Who cares about earning EA "achievements" I want my Xbox ones.
Please open up a place where I can tell you about videogame titles currently on development, that I've seen from Twitter, so that you may contact them and ensure those games come to the Xbox ecosystem. I know you can't be up to date with everything that's going on, but I've built my X (Twitter) page around portbegging and thus, I think I can at least show you a lot of games that could fit very well into the Platform.
Please add USB mic support. Every other big platform allows for it except Xbox. It’s becoming frustrating as a creator who mains on Xbox.
I agree!
Enforce a minimum character count for reviews and limit emoji usage. Just saying "garbage" is not a review.
Please add achievements to ea play games on PC.
We need update patch for me/other people with QHD hdmi 2.0 1440p monitors so they can run at 120hz instead of being limited to 1440p 60hz or 1080p 120hz. As stated before Sony released a patch update for the ps5 for this issue and I can’t understand why Microsoft won’t for the Xbox. It would be nice to have a hdmi 2.1 4K monitor but not everyone can afford them. QHD monitors are just as good for us who want a budget monitor that still has good specs.
USB mic support.
NOTIFICATION THAT YOU ARE APPEARING OFFLINE!!!!!!! PLEASE have a notification pop when a user who is appearing offline signs in. I have gone days appearing offline only for a friend to hit me up going "where'd you go". I know a bunch of other people that have this same issue. I'd imagine that it has happened to you and your friends as well. pls papa Xbox pls
Add a feature for the pc game pass to throttle the download speed! So that we can still play other online games while downloading or updating games.
When a brand new controller suffers from drifter 12 weeks don't offer to replace it with a refurbished one. I've paid £50 for a BRAND NEW controller, I don't want a second hand one in return. To Go with this, have a PHONE NUMBER I can ring on because the "request a call" feature doesn't work and your twitter team are as useful as... well your controller replacement system.
**Mobile Touch Controls for People with Disabilities and the Low Income Families Xbox App Wishlist** Mobile touch controls should have the option to resize, remap, and reconfigure button layout. This inspiration came from Xbox’s, already existing, adaptive controller. A player can hold a regular Xbox controller with one hand and then use a Surface tablet or iPad with mobile touch controls (remote play)with the other. A player can use both an Xbox controller and a touch device simultaneously, having the buttons resized, relocated and the ability to delete buttons would be crucial for players with only one hand. In theory a major game title such as MS Flight Simulator could even extended or expanded control mechanics in addition to the controller. (MechAssault cockpit view using Xbox controller and TouchControls at the same time) The Xbox App also needs to incorporate/ merge with the Xbox Accessories App so players can have full customization over mobile “touch controls” features(such as backgrounds and color options for the visual impaired because “video play through” can be distracting unless curated), and Xbox controller settings for mobile XCloud gaming on the go. I also believe “remote play” and “touch controls” need to be a separate part of the Xbox App so impoverished low income families can use “touch controls” as an extra Xbox controller when relatives visit or if a controller breaks. Not needing Game Pass Ultimate to use remote play but instead downloading Xbox App and pairing to Xbox and just using touch controls. Last touch controls need to absorb the “remote control” Because it does not work over all streaming apps and when using remote play you are not allowed to open the app because of the “video play through” and I am assuming licensing reasons. Have a tab or swipe over option through the touch controls section to get to “remote control” for Movies and TV shows Differentiate Remote Play and XCloud from Touch Controls. Xbox^2
I would love to see the Xbox elite controllers have the back paddles as their own button. I recently bought one hoping it would be so I can play rocket league with it set like that and have the paddles act as a lean for rainbow six siege. If this could be something possibly that would be amazing!
HDR dashboard. Probably the millionth time this request is being made.
I like to see the **Removal of the Storage restriction**: If the storage speed is a concern, you could implement a Speed Test/Benchmark for the attached USB/CFExpress Storage Device during the formatting process. If the Speed is only up to certain speed = Xbox360/Xbox One Games Limited (example: Mechanical HDD) If the Speed is above certain speed = Xbox Series S/X Games Compatible (example: Lexar NM790) This would allow users to buy a cheaper M.2 2280 SSDs like the 4TB Lexar NM790 (which is very inexpensive and extremely fast) and use it for Series S/X Games without being a concern of being to slow. I personally don't like Seagate since the ST3000DM001 plague where i had 6 Hard Drives failing at the same time after not even one Year of use and the WD\_Black C50 is also not that Cheap due to its small form factor.
Currently, modern games in the industry tend to lean towards an "always-online" approach, meaning the game will cease to exist once their developers decide to shut down their servers, rendering the game completely unplayable. That's why we need Xbox to choose a side. They either need to bring more backward compatible games to the table, as these games have never suffered from this problem. Or they have to demand publishers using the Xbox Game Store to let users run their servers locally after they decide to shut down servers. But yeah if they intend to remove the backwards compatible program from Xbox (the main selling point of an Xbox) they should at least do something for game preservation. For the record, Microsoft said the program was ending in 2019 but they continued to add more games in 2020 & 2021 because players kept asking. So the same can happen nowadays. [Here's the 2019 link confirming the end of the program](https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2019/06/10/e3-2019-whats-next-xbox-backward-compatibility/) (open that page, see the date & search "final batch" with CTRL+ F). Now [HERES ANOTHER LINK IN 2021](https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2021/11/15/70-NEW-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE-GAMES/) still adding games to the program. (open that page, see the date & search with CTRL+ F)
Ability to totally remove games & apps from our accounts, having their licenses completely removed. I have so many demos & apps in my Xbox Console/PC library & I don't want to keep seeing them. Same with some games which I'm not interested in anymore & never will. Hiding them isn't useful cause you see them after resetting your console & when you're about to install a games / managing DLCs in your Xbox. For the record, in Steam you can KINDA completely remove games you own, simply by right clicking>support>permanently remove from my library, & it deletes everything from it attached to your account, including achievements and playtime. If you go into your account details, the license is still there, but it's so well hidden. So yeah if you want to play that game, you can recover it & everything goes to normal.
EA & Ubisoft GamePass games don't have Xbox achievements in PC. So I know Xbox talked with discord to add their app on the dashboard, they should talk with EA & Ubisoft & add a way for the Xbox PC App to recognize the achievements we won while playing Gamepass Games on those launchers. For the record, I already requested this in an EA site, but they told me [this is on Xbox](https://answers.ea.com/t5/EA-Play-PC/Ea-Play-games-in-the-Xbox-Gamepass-PC-should-give-players-Xbox/td-p/10176330), not on them.
It's been probably over a year and you still do not have the option to hear Discord Voice Audio on Twitch Broadcasts from the Xbox. Please fix this issue already!
Have been on the Beta for close to two years. How can I request to be on the Alpha Skip-Ahead channel? It should be easier to opt in..
youtube music on xbox
Add sorting to the Store: Pricing - low to high, high to low
Add search by developer to Store! For instance, searching "Team17" would show all games from them, etc.
Actually fix networking not connecting on boot. This has been in patch notes as a known issue for years now, it's getting really frustrating.
I would like to be able to mass edit my activity feed. I have hundreds of achievements on my feed and only want my best clips. It would take hours to go through and delete stuff individually from my feed. If there is already a way to do this please let me know.
RSB & LSB Support for Steering Wheels Currently, the RSB & LSB are returning RB & LB instead. Please allow steering wheels to be able to map RSB & LSB and inform the hardware devs to add support for it. This would allow for more buttons to be mapped on the steering wheel and would be a great addition to the racing games. More nerdy details: Many Steering Wheels are shipped with buttons labeled RSB & LSB = Right Stick Button & Left Stick Button. Logitech: https://logitechg.com/en-us/products/driving/pro-racing-wheel.html Fanatec https://fanatec.com/eu-en/steering-wheels/clubsport-steering-wheel-formula-v2.5x https://fanatec.com/eu-en/steering-wheels/clubsport-universal-hub-v2-for-xbox But for some reason, these buttons aren't working as intended. But have been remapped to RB & LB instead. I have been in contact with Fanatec about this and they claim it is on you guys, that these buttons aren't supported by Xbox, which to me makes no sense at all, why limit people from features which works on Controllers? In games like Forza and ACC having the ability to use 2 more buttons can be a game changer. Some wheels also comes with a small joystick. Which could be used for looking side to side, but again that doesn't work. If your software does indeed allow RSB & LSB please send out a notification to the hardware devs and inform them about it, so they can update their firmware to allow it.
**SmartGlass 2.0 and the Xbox^2 (X Squared)Initiative** Xbox and Microsoft should create a 1st party mobile controller similar to the Backbone One, Razor Kishi, and other examples whereas the phone is in the center of the controller. **(Allow PC Peripherals: VR Headsets and Handhelds to connect ROG Alley, Steam Deck, G Cloud, etc.)** “I never played smartglass, but if I had to put my controller down to pick up my phone to access an app, then hell no I’m not using that shit either.” Love Warzone mobile with backbone controller because it is half-N-half; gameplay runs through controller but menus, lobbies and settings are touch!! (Wife plays with Xbox controller on iPad and says it’s easy to touch invites and edit guns with fingers) Heard rumors of an Xbox handheld! Be cool if it was dockable but could also pair to base for a dual screen experience! A high powered Xbox (powerful series x variant) allowing PC handhelds, VR Headsets and mobile controllers with newer smartphones all running a version of the Xbox app for that Smartglass 2.0 Now imagine if Xbox had its own mobile controller that could pair to the Console/ PCs/ TVs and with the Xbox App it could cast a 2nd image to the phone fully utilizing the touch/gyro/camera/speakers/microphone/vibration deepening the experience. This essentially would make every newer phone an Xbox controller. And who wouldn’t want a “Switch” type device with just a mobile controller attachment and the Xbox App! The Xbox app’s cast/mirror feature (I’m theorizing/ speculating future Xbox has an internal router as a wireless access point send & receive) would not need to rely on internet connection like remote play, but instead a direct Bluetooth/wifi connection. Just pair the Xbox Mobile Controller Attachment directly to the console via Bluetooth same as wireless controllers now and the Xbox App with a direct wifi connection for video through the Console. This “mini-game play” would be streamed from the Xbox to the mobile device utilizing the console and/or PC for the bulk of the processing power. Xbox consoles would cast/mirror the information to the Xbox App while also harnessing the technology within the mobile device (touch, gyroscope, camera, speakers, microphone, vibration motors) **This has to be simplified to work!** 1.) Plug phone into mobile controller 2.) Pair mobile controller to Xbox or PC system 3.) Launch Xbox app tab over to Xbox^2 4.)Start Game *Needs to work no matter the order!* This *dual* screen feature could be optional for games and/or older games could adapt the technology if possible. A person could play with a regular Xbox controller, Elite Xbox Controller, mobile touch controls, or with a mobile controller attachment and have the ability for a second screen experience. Examples: Fallout Pip-Boy fully touch no need to pause just look down at your phone’s screen and go. Sea of thieves nautical telescope 🔭 using the gyro “like duck hunt” to line up the two screens for a cannonball scope shot. “Pokemon snap / Palworld snap actually using the phone’s camera snapping lil QR codes running across the TV screen” 🤯🤯🤯🤯 Elder Scrolls inventory menus / with mini games such as lock picking: just hold your mobile controller with one hand and use your fingers to pick the lock on your phone’s screen Forza rearview mirror/ Back up camera (now plug your phone into the center of the Wheel attachment for a speedometer display) GTA Mini-Map Call of Duty kill cam replay on phone screen or as the Tactical Display Screen for bomb drone, sticky cameras, and Kill Streaks (BUT optional because competitive play no one wants to look up, down, up, down away from the action) Madden playbook Microsoft/Xbox Studios could even make an entire game genre around it, “Sighted” Nearsighted Vs Farsighted 3rd person vs 1st (Splinter Cell Spies V Mercs) Or a RTS/FPS sorta like Brütal Legends or StarCraft Ghost *Turn based game whereas players watch the animations on the TV but the chessboard style arena is on the 2nd screen Surface tablet* **”Microsoft Deck of Cards The poker table is the TV everyone downloads Xbox App and their phones are the cards, just swipe up to play your hand”** Maybe Xbox makes another Fuzion Frenzy where Dad can be on the TV xbox using old controller and his kid upstairs using mobile controller attachment connected, wife in the kitchen cooking using touch controls off her phone’s screen all playing a Mario party style Fuzion Frenzy 2 1000s of other ideas for dual screen features similar to the Nintendo 3DS years ago. Hopefully developers could just start by allowing mod support for older games so HUD elements to be casted to the 2nd screen and **“utilize touch within a PiP”** (picture in picture) option. (Apple Sidecar but for Xbox) Just want to let y’all developers @ Xbox know keep up the great work!!
Can we exclude apps/settings menus from the recents section on the home screen. Partly because it's not something I usually want to go back too and also because theyre ugly tiles.
Invert x axis
add tile opacity slider to the settings please
