The data is the company's first release, released Monday to highlight the steps the platform owner has taken by moderating content to create a safer environment for gamers. Included in the “Xbox Transparency Report”.
According to Microsoft, it took a total of 1 million sanctions actions between January 30 and June 7.126 this year.

About two-thirds of the sanctions imposed in the first half of 2022 were the result of proactive detection, Microsoft said. A third of the sanctions were made in response to player reports that Microsoft received 33.08 million in the six-month period.
Negative communications from other players were behind 46% of user reports and ahead of complaints about player behavior (43%) and user-generated content (11%).
Microsoft said the total number of player reports in the first half of the year fell significantly from 2021 million in the second half of 41,83 to 52,05 million in the first half of last year.
Xbox's appeals process allows players to learn more about the sanctions they have received and to appeal them. Of the 151.000 cases reviewed after appeals in the first half of the year, only 6,5% of enforcement cases were overturned.
