Since Xbox Console Companion app is no longer available, where do I check Network status?

Hello RaviAhuja,

Thanks for the reply.

Before we answer that question, may we ask what game are we having issues with?

Is this installed from Xbox app or Microsoft Store?

May we ask for the error message or code?

Also, if you were a member of Microsoft Family, may we ask if you were allowed to play games that offers multiplayer mode and are you allowed to join or chat with new friends.

The network tools we meant will depend on the issue you were having in the game itself. If you can see each multiplayer games, often times there is a display that shows FPS that will keep you manage your game play.

For reference of network issues:

(The later part of this support article is for Xbox Console troubleshooting but the definition of the NAT Type can be found on this topic.)

Tip: You must have a NAT Type of Open or Moderate (making sure one of your friends is Open NAT) and have no issues with network.

You're welcome, RaviAhuja.

Hey there,

Thanks for trying to help me. I don't have any problems in any of the games. I just wanted to check the NAT type of my new internet, which could be easily done previously in the Xbox Console Companion (screenshot above) app that was there on Windows 11.

Anyways, since I couldn't check the NAT type in Xbox Console Companion anymore, I had to do it the other way, which was too long and tedious. I had to download numerous games and check the network status in all those games. I checked my network status in games like Diablo 4, Apex Legends and Warframe (to name a few). I'm happy to say that my new ISP internet is pretty good and is providing me with the best pings in games.

It's unfortunate that we can't do this anymore in the Xbox Console Companion app. You guys at Microsoft should really think about adding this feature back to the default Xbox app on Windows 11.

Anyways, thanks for helping me out. Have a nice day.

most games will report to you your network status

You can also use the network tools in windows.

Which network tools? Can you help me? Is there a network tool that'll give me the same info as below?





This used to very clearly tell me my NAT Type.
