[Update] Xbox Live Appears To Be Functional Once More
Update 2: Microsoft has offered comment on last night's Xbox Live outages. "Xbox Live was experiencing log-in issues for some Xbox 360 and Xbox One customers," says the representative. "Service has since been restored—customers now have full access to Xbox Live. As always, please refer to our Xbox Support page for the latest status updates."
Update: Microsoft has not commented on the earlier Xbox Live outage, but services seem to be restored. No cause for the down time has been confirmed.
Original Story:
Parts of Xbox Live are currently non-operational. It appears that social features are affected, including friends lists and leaderboards.
The official Xbox website also seems to be impacted by the current outage. We’ve reached out to Microsoft for more information, as the Xbox Live support page, which is part of Xbox.com, is unreachable right now.
We’ll update should we receive more information. In the meantime, the Xbox Live Marketplace appears to be accessible, and downloads appear to be operational.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
