Xbox Game Pass Twitter Account Was Likely Hacked, Tweets Deleted
It appears that the official Xbox Game Pass Twitter account has been hacked, with past tweets being deleted along with profile and header images. Microsoft's video game subscription service grants users access to a large roster of digital games, along with other services like Xbox Live Gold and EA Play. February 2022 adds new Xbox Game Pass titles like Madden NFL 22 and Mass Effect Legendary Edition, though it appears that the beloved service's social media account may be under attack.
By providing users access to an ever-growing selection of popular games, Xbox Game Pass has become an incredibly enticing deal for many gamers. Microsoft is constantly supporting the service by adding new games, with many new releases such as Halo Infinite joining Game Pass simultaneously at launch. The service provides access to many backwards-compatible Xbox 360 games, too, and Game Pass users can carry their progress over to the standalone version of a game should it be rotated out of the subscription service's digital library. While an Xbox Game Pass rival from PlayStation is «inevitable,» according to Xbox head Phil Spencer, for now Microsoft's service is essentially one of a kind.
The Xbox Game Pass Twitter account's header and profile pictures were mysteriously deleted on February 22, suggesting that the account has been hacked. Multiple past tweets were also deleted without warning, along with the account's name, leaving the page looking noticeably barren. While the cause of the issue is currently unclear, it seems likely that Xbox Game Pass' Twitter was hacked or suffered from a dramatic technical issue. Images of the hacked account can be found below:
