Xb party’s suck on here

So laggy on Xbox party’s

Xbox is better that ps5

Yes

Yall Should Be Ashamed

Listen, I don’t know what the heck kind of dululand these “helpful reviews” are living in. But I want to be there too, because it would cure my depression.

This is the worst piece of software I have ever used in my life. Don’t ever use this app for party chat. Avoiding it will add a decade to your life expectancy. Every time I use it for party chat, I always have issues. Switching Bluetooth devices, disconnecting and connecting to WiFi, the party breaks and I have to restart the app. And even then I still have trouble because it still thinks I’m in the party, so I can’t join back.

And it’s not even the iPhone. It’s just Microsoft. Because the Xbox Game Bar app on Windows desktop is just as bad.

Like I’m going to be straight with you Microsoft, you have to actually try to make something this broken. That are yall need to start paying your staff more, because only underpaid overworked people who loathe their jobs and their lives would make something that functions this poorly.

But, let’s not act like you are actually hiring real people to maintain this app. Because the bot reviews already tell me enough.

No Points After Version 2605.2.1

Is really -5 stars…

So many times I have played over hour on both console and PC but no reward points as promised in writing. This is after updating 2605.2.1. And before.

7/14/2026 update, tapped to play Jewel inside this app and entered the second level. It never game me credits. This was all one local app too. My goodness even direct competitor Nintendo and Sony handhelds don’t make errors like that.

The not on commission payrolls are the reason why clients move to competitors: Valve/Steam, Epic, GOG, Sony, Nintendo, and etc.

They would not have been hired with me.

Fire them! They are violating fiduciary duty.
