Xbox series X black pixels on all games

Hello UnloosedSkink48,

Thank you for your contribution to the Microsoft community.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble connecting your Xbox Series X to your Google Pixel 6 hotspot. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:



1. Restart your Xbox Series X and your Google Pixel 6.



2. Make sure that your Google Pixel 6 hotspot is turned on and that it is discoverable by other devices.



3. Check that your Xbox Series X is within range of your Google Pixel 6 hotspot.



4. Try forgetting the network on your Xbox Series X and then reconnecting to it.



5. Check that your Google Pixel 6 hotspot is set to allow other devices to connect to it.



6. Try changing the security settings on your Google Pixel 6 hotspot to WPA or WEP and see if that helps.



7. If none of the above steps work, try contacting Xbox support for further assistance.



If you continue to experience issues, please let me know and I can assist you further.

Did it just happen recently?

Only the Seagate Expansion and the WD Black C50 work for Series X|S games. All other SSD's can only be connected via the USB port and they are too slow for Series X|S games

Hi, this seems to be happening on a lot of xbox one games when played on xbox series x. Nobody else seems to be noticing these issues and I don't know who I could even tell. If you can, try Modern Warfare, the Division, Dead rising 3 and 4. All these games have lighting issues when played on the Series X.

Basically any street lights that have that 'orb' effect to them flicker and pixelate. Wolfenstein 2 and Youngblood also have this effect you showed in the video at various parts I've noticed. Definitely the Series X doing this as they're all fine when played on an Xbox One X.

Let me know if you could inform anyone about this issue or if you've noticed anything similar.

I have tried trouble shooting the resolution but the game it’s self looks pixelated playing at 1080p on a 1440p monitor when I play any game on the Xbox series s. but if I play the same game on the Xbox one x it plays at the native resolution at 1440p
