    How are PC-focused requests supposed to be seen on the weekly request posts?


    So, I'm someone who's backlogged a year of PC gamepass through Bing's reward point program. I found my way here through an errant link in the Xbox Insider hub and have been observing things between the occasional posts I make. And after a few months, I don't understand how any feedback about the PC side is supposed to be seen here.

    Going by the list of highlighted requests since the weekly threads began in April (https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxinsiders/wiki/xboxrequests/), there has never been a single feature request for any aspect of Xbox's PC service in the top three highlighted. Granted, there have never been many requests for the PC services made. But why do feature requests for two very different platforms, presumably handled by different teams, have to compete for air? Assuming the process of choosing highlighted requests is just picking the three with the most upvotes, how is a PC request supposed to be seen when the majority of Xbox users are on console? Why should a request for the PC service being at the top come at expense of a console service request not being seen?

    Obviously, there is basically nobody else on this subreddit enduring the Xbox PC experience. I count about four other people, tops. Nobody engages with the PC insider update posts, which aren't even flaired correctly, and there are scant few user posts with the PC Gaming flair. It makes sense that Xbox naturally has a much larger audience on consoles, and there's nothing leading PC users into here besides an icon in an app that PC users aren't given incentive to look at more than once. The only place PC users are told to go is the Feedback Hub, where feedback goes to die unless it's about something causing bluescreens. That then begs the question of why the PC side of things is even mentioned here. Is feedback about the PC service meant to be for console users that treat it as a companion to their console, and don't actively play games on it? Why are there sporadic posts by developers asking for feedback on the PC service here, and not in the one communication channel PC Xbox users are funneled to?

    The only reason I'm here at all is because every single other avenue of providing feedback on the xbox PC service feels like I'm just shouting into a black hole. The only other options besides the Feedback Fub are faceless forms that I've filled out plenty and have never seen any response to. This basically feels like the only vector where maybe, a developer might see what I say and possibly even reply. And on the surface, putting requests here seems like it might be the best answer, but it's obvious at closer inspection that it's just another black hole for me to fruitlessly shout into while the big headlining feature updates are random junk that I can guarantee nobody asked for.

    Just let me fricking remote play games from my PC to another device already. C'mon. That's been a thing on Xbox consoles for ages, am I not supposed to expect feature parity between platforms with the same name?

    Is cosmic rescue just a scam?

    Oh I'd also like to ad, the last year of weekly sets has not had a single preorder request in any set. I've done almost all of them or have come close and not seen a preorder for completion on a weekly set

    Xbox one series X Frame Interpolation

    Hello N4ILGUN,

    For that request, please post in this reddit thread : https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxinsiders/wiki/ideas

    The developers take a look in a weekly basis, so that is the good place all this suggestions and requests should go.

    Hope they take your request into account and gets in the console soon!

    It would be best to reach out or post on the developer of the game's page for your request to be seen.

    How to get in to contact with Xbox support about refund issues when Xbox support didn’t send me an email?

    Microsoft support told me that I was already supposed to receive one as soon as the request denied and I even waited until today and still nothing, so how am I supposed to get into contact with Xbox support about this if I can’t redo the refund request and am not receiving an email I was already supposed to have?
