Xbox Suffers ‘Major Outage’ As Servers Go Down For Most Players

Xbox has been suffering from some technical difficulties today, with lots of players reporting that they’ve been unable to connect to Xbox Live (or the “Xbox Network”) over the past couple of hours. You’re definitely not alone!

This has been confirmed as a “major outage” by Team Xbox, described as the following:

“You may not be able to sign-in to your Xbox profile, may be disconnected while signed in, or have other related problems. Features that require sign-in like most games, apps and social activity won’t be available.”

If you’re reading this a bit later and still experiencing the issue, it’s probably because the problem hasn’t been fixed yet! You can check the status of the Xbox servers over on the official “Xbox Status” webpage.
