    Keep getting games interrupted with a message saying game being played somewhere else but...


    I have a Series X and a Series S with Game pass.

    When i play on the Series S, every minute or 2 the game stops and it says it is being played somewhere else, so i always press play here instead. My Series X is off and i have logged in to microsoft to check my devices and dont see anything suspicious.

    This is happening every minute or 2 so games are becoming unplayable.

    I have set the Series S as Home console to see if it makes any difference and it doesnt.

    How can i stop this?

    :)

    I appreciate the heads up, Nursemorph!

    These details seem to have been skipped, will update the questions then wait if OP replies. 😊

    Many thanks!

    I'm not the OP but I think your first 2 questions were covered in the OP's post:

    "When i play on the Series S, every minute or 2 the game stops and it says it is being played somewhere else, so i always press play here instead. My Series X is off"

    Hi FINCK79,

    Welcome to Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

    We understand that you were trying to cease the interruption you get every time you play a game on Xbox Series. Let us check on this together so you will get back to gaming.



    To better isolate your issue, we would like to ask for few questions:

    1. Are these devices added to the Microsoft account's listed devices?
    2. Are these devices sharing same network?
    3. May we know if this happens to all game titles? Or just specific games?
    4. Have you tried playing the same game on a different device/console from which you were interrupted with the error message?
    You may start to perform basic troubleshooting by checking this support article, otherwise let us know the answers to the question above:

    Troubleshoot gameplay, performance, and stability issues on a Windows device.

    We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.
