Xbox’s Latest Server Outage Is A Bit Different To The Usual Ones

Xbox has suffered another server outage today, but not in the way you'd might expect! As confirmed on the official Xbox Status support page, the outage affects "store & subscriptions", "cloud gaming & remote play", and "games & gaming". At the time of writing, the team is still working on getting these issues fixed. We are aware that users may be experiencing issues loading product pages, completing purchases, and viewing their libraries. While we investigate, follow along here and on our status page. https://t.co/PzAdjUXo7T— Xbox Support (@XboxSupport) April 1, 2025 So, specifically, you might notice issues with buying games on the Xbox Store, playing games through Xbox Cloud Gaming and accessing remote play, and even playing digital games from your library. Everything else to do with Xbox's online servers, including sign-ins and online multiplayer, should work fine. This issue will be fixed in the coming hours, but if you're still facing it and you want an alternative method to play your games, don't forget you can temporarily put your Xbox in offline mode until all these issues have blown over.
