Microsoft is researching the Xbox CMOS situation to prevent problems in the future.
The discussions about CMOS batteries in consoles emerged earlier this year when Sony announced that it would close its digital stores for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. The CMOS battery powers a console’s internal clock. So when a game is started on the console, the internal clock checks the date and time on a remote server to ensure that users can play their game.
Xbox CEO Phil Spencer says Microsoft is investigating the Xbox hardware’s CMOS battery issues:
“The hardware team is hearing the message that our consoles should enable an ongoing relationship between gamers and the content they own. So we hear the message and the teams look at things, ”said Spencer.
In theory, when an online feature such as PlayStation Network or Xbox LIVE is not working properly, the console cannot connect and games cannot be played. Now it looks like CMOS batteries in PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 no longer have this problem as Sony released some updates. Microsoft will be investigating the Xbox CMOS situation to prevent future problems.
