Check a player
Enter a gamertag or Xbox user ID to check current MCC enforcement records.
Recent checks
Players with an active ban found by this checker. Temporary bans expiring within a year are shown in yellow; a clean recheck removes them. Permanent bans do not always mean cheating. Bans to 9999 are "new era" perma bans post FEB2025.
No checks yet. Be the first.
The list is squeaky clean.
Players online
People currently running MCC through Steam. This excludes Xbox and Microsoft Store players.
Recent history is shown at minute resolution. Older periods use hourly summaries.
Players Searching
Players searching for a match, not total players online. Some queues are combined / not shown separately. Rotational playlists share queue timers.

What this site does.
An independent community dashboard for checking enforcement records, watching matchmaking activity, following playlist rotations, and finding MCC projects.
Useful signals, clearly labeled.
This independent community dashboard brings several public data sources together. It does not host MCC services, make enforcement decisions, or represent Xbox or Halo Studios.
Population numbers describe different things: matchmaking cards show players searching in selected playlists; Steam shows concurrent players on Steam only. Neither is the total number of people playing MCC.
Ban checker
Enter a gamertag or XUID. Gamertags are resolved to an Xbox user ID when needed, then checked against MCC enforcement data. Recent checks and active records appear on the community board.
Population
Playlist search counts and wait estimates come from Xbox SmartMatch hopper statistics. Steam concurrent players come from Steam's public player count. The site stores samples to draw history charts. Xbox's public popularity ranking is collected separately.
Community maintained
Rotation history is bundled from the Halo MCC Toolbox schedule. Future weeks are projections based on observed patterns, not official announcements. Community links are independently maintained.
What gets recorded?
Ban lookups may be listed on the recent checks board; a clean recheck can remove an active entry. Population samples are stored for charts. Results reflect the source at lookup time and may be delayed, incomplete, or unavailable.

FAQ
Does a zero mean nobody is playing?
No. Search counts only cover the displayed playlists and current reporting window. Steam counts only Steam players; Xbox and Microsoft Store populations are not included in that figure.
Is a ban check an official appeal or report?
No. It reads the enforcement information returned by MCC services. Contact Xbox Support for account help or an appeal.
Are upcoming rotations confirmed?
Only weeks labeled as recorded are historical observations. Upcoming entries are pattern projections and can be wrong.
Why is some data missing or stale?
Upstream services, authorization, or the site's scheduled collectors may be unavailable. The dashboard shows the last data it has and reports errors when it can.
