Shillong, August 4: Microsoft has refuted reports about a potential Xbox ban exploit, which raised concerns among several YouTubers. The exploit involves the use of third-party tools to get accounts banned.
However, Kim Kunes, Xbox GM of trust and safety, assured users that third-party apps or tools cannot impact “player enforcements.” Only reports reviewed by the Xbox Safety Team, found accurate and in violation of Community Standards, will result in enforcement actions like suspension or account bans.
As per IANS, in July, Microsoft announced that it will replace the ‘Xbox Live Gold’ subscription with the ‘Xbox Game Pass Core’ plan on September 14. The new Game Pass Core will cost the same as Live Gold, and existing Live Gold members will automatically get Game Pass Core when it launches.
Additionally, the ‘Xbox Game Pass Friends & Family’ preview program will end on August 15. Participants will receive Xbox Game Pass Ultimate codes as a thank-you for their involvement, allowing them to add up to four friends and family members to share the gaming experience. Each person will have their own account, Xbox profile, and personalized recommendations.
