I'm a lvl 26 hunter and am very interested in this idea...my problem is my work schedule, I'm online every night at midnight central time, and every weekend, hit me up if this works for anyone

Unfortunately, I have tried every one of those methods and none have worked, should I trade the Xbox in with a new Midnight Drive Xbox Series S?

I am too I've hard reset and unplugged my xbox for 10 seconds then restarted it anyone got any ideas?
