What does it mean if an Xbox is banned?

An Xbox console ban is a permanent block on a specific hardware device (tied to its serial number/motherboard) that prevents it from connecting to the Xbox Network for online services like multiplayer, Game Pass, or digital purchases, usually due to severe violations like modding, cheating, fraud, or piracy, though offline use for single-player games remains possible. It's distinct from an account ban, and unlike account suspensions, console bans are typically irreversible, forcing users to get a new console to go online again.
