    Why does every single game on Xbox Series S ask what profile I want to play game as?


    Why does every single game on Xbox Series S ask what profile I want to play game as? I am already logged in. I am not the other users. I obviously do not want to play every game as someone else. This feature is one of the most annoying features driving me towards selling this console. I have 16 accounts on PS5 and PS4 consoles and never once has it asked me if I want to be someone else when I load up a game. I am already logged in. I do not want to hear that this is an option for developers. Microsoft needs to make that NOT be an option.

    Hi, and thanks for reaching out. My name is Miguel O., Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue!

    RedCarGamer Xbox Ambassador posted an answer to a user who had a similar issue:

    "Not a issue with your console. Some games just have the option to ask again to change user. Is just a decision of the developer not the decision of the platform."

    why the hell

    Why not just purchase an Xbox One S if you want to play old 360 and original Xbox games on disk. As you said, your display is old, and does not support 4K, so purchasing a One S would probably make sense. Then later in the year, get a Series X or S if
    you want to.

    Question about buying a new xbox

    I'm assuming you're asking about the Series S and X not the One S and X?

    If that is the case, if you have any games on discs you want to keep playing, get the Series X. You won't be able to play them on a Series S. Otherwise, the Series S is a little lower quality, but would be fine for casual gaming.

    Xbox one doesnt allow local accounts?!

    Hi,

    EVERY ACCOUNT I MAKE HAS TO BE CONNECTED TO XBOX LIVE. WHY?

    That's not entirely true. What is true is that each account you set up does indeed need a Live Profile, however, you do not need Gold accounts to use these profile, nor do you need the console to be connected to Xbox Live to use these profiles or to play
    games.

    Once the profiles are set up, either leave the console as it is, or disconnect it from Xbox Live. All disc based games will work just fine offline. You do not need an active Xbox Live connection to play single player games.
