    Xbox Gamebar Activity Status


    Just a generally question, why do some games appear as nothing or “Online” in the activity status of game bar? I’ve had it work for things like Minecraft,Gears of War,High on Life, but as soon as I play steams games Mafia 1 Definitive Edition, it works.Mafia 2 shows “Online”. Mafia 3 also “Online”. Hoping there’s a workaround this as i’ve tried adding games to the startup apps on the companion app to it just becoming blank in the status bar. Obviously i’ve also set the “Others can see your pc status” option as well. Thanks

    :)

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    good evening

    The activity status of the Xbox Game Bar on Windows 10 only shows activity information for certain games and apps that support it. The activity status will display "Online" if the game is online-only, and "Nothing" if the game does not support the activity status feature. The support for this feature is determined by the developers of the games and apps, and can vary from game to game.

    GameBar not activating

    Thanks for the link.

    However, since I posted it "magically" started working. I tried before running your trouble shooting suggestions.

    I'll take "yes" for the answer.
