No issues with playing AC Odyssey earlier today. Microsoft needs to eliminate their DRM bullshit on Xbox. It's fucking ridiculous. Not just because of this current issue but also, you can't use the console without first setting it up with an online internet connection. Then, you can't play games unless you verify them first. So if you have a disc based game for example, install the game and try to play it, a pop up message will appear telling you to connect online to basically verify the damn thing. With PS4/PS5, you don't need an internet connection to setup your console or play your disc based games. Just install the game and once done, boom, you can start playing. Don't need a system update, game update or any verification for the game.
Eventually, a time will come when millions of consumers have this issue and it lasts for days if not weeks and will be a huge clusterfuck for Microsoft. No reason to have this DRM bullshit. Everything should simply just fucking work.
