I heard third party devices are getting banned

✝️ . · Feb 12, 2024

I am 90% sure I have undiagnosed tourettes and would like to know if I could get banned/console banned for using a strikepack. My thumbs uncontrollably flick up pretty often and it makes it hard to control recoil in a lot of games. I bought a strikepack and it helped a lot with the recoil control and would like to know if I could be banned for this necessity. If the answer is yes I will stop using it.

It's unlicensed 3rd party controllers that are being banned. If all it does is help with you use your official Xbox controller. Then I highly doubt you would have an issue. If there was an issue, then a notification would pop up on your console, saying it would stop working in 30 days.

When it comes to third party devices I personally would steer clear and just by a Microsoft HDD. No need to take a risk of getting a new console banned.

There are some UNAUTHORIZED third party devices that can gain you a ban from Xbox Live for using.

Hello, EGO. I'm Arturo, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

Yes, you may receive a console ban for using such devices. They're not allowed at all on Xbox because they give you an advantage against other players and also enable features that are not official.
So, it can be considered as console tampering / modification.

If you allow me, it is recommended to suspend the use of this device if you're using it. Please always aim to use official accessories, and in case you are not aware, you can use a keyboard and mouse on games where the developer already enabled the feature.

Regards,

Arturo.

It doesn't answer the question of whether a third party device is an unauthorized device. If you use a third party device as an original one (there is no original devices to purchase in the market), would it be an unauthorized upgrade, the use of a third
party device?
