    "Online" status


    I have had this issue with games in the past, but not with games I play specifically from Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. The issue : When I play a game downloaded from Steam, sometimes my status doesn't change on the Xbox App to the name of the game I am playing; It just says "Online". This was the case for Valheim. Before it was available on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, I purchased it through Steam, but it would only show my status as "Online". Not a huge deal, but part of online gaming is to share what you are playing with your friends. So, I was excited to see that Valheim came to Game Pass, because I knew that since it's from Game Pass that it should update my status when playing... No dice. Still, for some reason, my status just says "Online". when I press Win+G to bring up the Game Bar, the Capture feature indicates I am playing Valheim, but then looking over at the Social tab, it still says "Online"

    What could be the cause for this/possible fix?

    I'm good, Nadir, thanks for asking.

    Ok, it's on the mobile app. Have you tried to reinstall it?

    This problem also occurs on the mobile app where my friend (who plays on switch) can't toggle the online status.
