I have the same issue to now and it’s effecting Fortnite. This seems to be an ongoing issue with Xbox and constant bugs and issues. First my Fortnite game won’t boot up and I’m using the series s. Second the quick resume is possibly the dumbest thing to have been added, my Xbox one is better than the series s because of that. Anytime I play an online game and open it, dosent resume it just glitches my game out and when I remove it from quick resume anytime I open the game it adds it back. Xbox can do better. It’s a constant issue and not only Fortnite saying failed login. Please fix it, I got the series s over the ps5 because of my love for the console but at this rate I will have to go to the PlayStation to play games without issues. Please assist as other users are having this issue.

Hello Tameaka.
My name is Ezequiel. I'm an Independent Consultant and I'm happy to help you today. Great question, in the store you will find three versions of Hogwarts Legacy, one for Xbox One, another for Series S/X, and the Deluxe version, the Xbox one version you can play on any console in the Xbox One family, the Series S/ X only works on new generation consoles, and the Deluxe version comes with both Hogwarts for Xbox and Hogwarts for Series S/X game versions and exclusive content. Be very careful when making your purchase not to buy the Series S/X version of the game, this version is only compatible with the latest generation consoles. The version of the game Hogwarts for Xbox One can be played on Series S and Series X consoles, but you won't have the same graphics as the exclusive version for Series S and Series X consoles. If you have any questions, please contact me again and I'll be here to explain any other questions.

I have a problem with my Xbox elite series 2 controller. It works fine while playing any other game but when I play fortnite it randomly stops working while playing, none of the buttons work even when I plug it in it doesn’t work but out of nowhere it starts working again and it happens over and over again. I’m also playing on the Xbox series S
