The thriving online community on Xbox One can sometimes showcase unacceptable behaviors from gamers. Also, the platform offers a vast library of games that may sometimes encounter technical issues. Whether you encounter a bug in a game or interact with a user exhibiting inappropriate behavior, Xbox One has procedures for reporting these issues. Reporting user misconduct helps maintain a positive experience for gamers, and reporting gaming issues ensures the problem is resolved for a smooth gaming experience. Here’s how to report an issue with a game or user on Xbox One.
Switch on your Xbox One console and sign into your account to access the platform’s online features. After signing in to your account, navigate to the Xbox home screen to access the full library of your apps and games. Switch to the home screen by pressing the Xbox button.
While on the homepage, press and hold down the Xbox button to access the power features of your Xbox One. The screen displays various options; select “Report a Problem.”
When you click the “Report a Problem” button, the Xbox One diagnostics tool collects information, including taking a clip of the game you’re experiencing issues with and the relevant screenshots.
Once the system finishes collecting the relevant data, it loads up the “Report a Problem” page. Click “Report New Problem.”
When you begin reporting a new problem, you must provide a title and the categories related to your problem. For the Category, choose “Games,” select the appropriate subcategory, and write a detailed description of the issue. After explaining the gaming issue clearly, click “Submit.”
To report an issue with an Xbox One user, press the Xbox button to open the home screen. Scroll to the right to access the “People” tab. This section shows who is online, the leaderboard, clubs and the people you’ve played with. If you want to search for someone, you can do so by clicking the “Find Someone” option.
On the “People” section, scroll through your friends list and select the player you want to report.
After selecting the user profile, it loads new options to manage your engagement with the person. Scroll down and select “Report or Block.” This further subdivides the section; click “Report.”
The “Report” button loads a new section on the player’s profile with possible reasons for reporting an Xbox One user. You can report a player found cheating, quitting early or exhibiting unsporting behavior. Select “Cheating” to proceed.
In the next section, you can report a user for cheating for various reasons. Common cheating issues include harassment, violence, spam, advertising or terrorist content. Pick the most relevant option for your case and click it. If it’s something else, you can include a game clip or explain what’s going on and send it. If you need further assistance, contact the Xbox One customer support team.
Xbox One takes reports very seriously and bans users proven to cause problems for other players. This ensures that everyone remains safe and comfortable while using the platform. Always give feedback to help Xbox One address issues related to your apps and games.
