Xbox - the lack of Custom scenarios, maps, and mods

Xbox players only have access to one custom Scenario “The Siege”, before that we only had access to “Mangduai Madness”.

Custom, campaign, and ranked Xbox players all complain of the lack of variety regarding custom scenarios and maps. I had made a previous thread regarding mods, or the lack thereof, Why are Xbox Mods so limited?

In general, most of our complaints are regarding not having the same access to maps, mods, and scenarios as that of our PC counterparts. The higher echelons of Controller players are already playing on the Cross-input ladder, some with extraordinary success ranging in the 16-1800s on a controller. Some of our players have been excluded from other discords’ tournaments due to our inability to play on custom maps.

Overall, the Developers did an amazing job porting the game, and we, the Xbox Controller community, wish to be a part of the larger whole of the Age of Empires Community with the abilities to participate in more custom lobbies with maps previously unavailable, access to mods that could help our quality-of-life gameplay like fish with borders, large deer, plant removal, and we would like the ability to enjoy the multitude of custom scenarios and challenges that Pc users get to enjoy on the daily.

Thank you for your time in reading on this matter.
