    Any way to turn off the annoying banter from Copilot?

    I would like this too tbh, just more settings in general would be great.

    xCloud wait times are a joke...

    It is crazy how long the wait times are in some regions. Its quite good where I am in Germany, since there's an abundance of data centers, but demand certainly isn't meeting supply in some areas.

    Gamepass App update for iOS and tvOS when?

    apple is blocking it honestly, my recommendation if you want a good xbox experience is to get off Apple stuff, they are anti-competitive. android-based stuff will always be better for anything non-apple related.

    Someone needs to call out certain Japanese devs/pubs on their obvious bias against the West

    i really doubt the issue here is xenophobia... it's simple economics. it might be a cool game for microsoft to step in and throw a game pass bag at to help support the devs bring better support across the pond. EDF is a great franchise and ones ive enjoyed in the past but you have to admit it's...

    Windows Central, you guys (unintentionally) promoted pirated software

    yeah but even during evil week, i highly doubt they'd post a scam intentionally. evil week is more to do with like... teaching you hacking stuff lolol. at least it was back in the day, havent used them for a hot minute.

    Apologies for this, LifeHacker is generally a trustworthy site so we figured it would be a good deal to recommend. That was pure news, not an affiliate play too since we aren't affiliated with them, etc. I've taken the post down for now. I'll brief our writers not to recommend from LifeHacker...

    Why is it still so hard to avoid the undesirable players in gaming?

    I'm guessing cus it'll screw up third-party match making systems, which gets increasingly complex with overlapping platforms and services. I agree though that toxicity in gaming is a huge problem, still.

    Asus Rog Ally

    i did ultimately buy an ASUS ROG Ally, and i absolutely love it. the main problems with it are Windows' fault, rather than ASUS, but it's going to kick Microsoft up the arse to better support different form factors.

    Question How do you search for friends gamertag in the xbox console companion app.

    You can do it via the Xbox app for Windows 11 or using the Xbox Game Bar (Windows Key + G), using the Social Tab. Simply type a name into the search box and it should come up.
