Save for the inclusion of a special "rare achievement" toast notification, there have not been any meaningful additions to the system in years. Xbox achievementsĪnother large bout of feedback fell against the Xbox achievement system, which has been a bit neglected in recent years. But it's clear Xbox still has a lot of work to do in this area. Microsoft has previously described Japan as one of its fastest-growing markets, so perhaps the situation will change in the coming years. While not Japanese-made, Genshin Impact skipping Xbox has proven a pain point for some, and Atlus' continued absence on Xbox frustrates JRPG fans everywhere. Yet still, major gaps in the lineup persist. Microsoft has even garnered some wins from Square Enix, nabbing Octopath Traveler for Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft helped bring Phantasy Star Online 2 to the West via Xbox, for example, and Sega also brought the entire Yakuza franchise to Xbox, after years of exclusivity on other platforms. Xbox has seen a bit of success here and there from Japanese studios. With Sony buying up exclusivity deals around the Final Fantasy franchise, and other franchises like Persona just arbitrarily ignoring Xbox all together, it's clear that many Xbox fans feel Microsoft needs to work harder to get some of these developers interested in building for the platform.

Thankfully, Xbox engineering lead Jason Ronald said on a podcast a little while ago that the Xbox Game DVR is a high priority for the team in 2022, so hopefully, we'll see these issues solved sooner, rather than later. The old "Upload Studio" app was left abandoned and finally deleted entirely from Xbox a little while ago. In a social media world, it seems odd that the Xbox Game DVR is so bare-bones when it comes to some of this stuff. The Xbox Game DVR also has no system for editing clips together, offering only a basic trimming service. The Xbox currently offers no native support for YouTube Gaming, for example. However, Twitch isn't the only streaming service out there. Since the death of Mixer, Microsoft had no way to stream directly from the Xbox to streaming platforms until recently, when it finally re-integrated Twitch. It's also weirdly difficult to obtain your captures from a PC, with no system in place currently to access cloud files without manually uploading them from your Xbox to an adjacent service like OneDrive.Īnother complaint I combined in this category revolves around streaming. The way the system handles HDR for captures is a bit off, with screenshots appearing washed out and weird when you upload them to a PC.

The Xbox Game DVR has fallen into a bit of a state in recent years, in a variety of ways. There were many, many complaints about various aspects of the Xbox Game DVR, and for good reason. Source: Windows Central (Image credit: Source: Windows Central)
