[Update] Xbox Live Currently Experiencing Issues
Update: Xbox Live continues to experience issues, but the error has changed.
Originally, Xbox Live was suffering from sign-in issues. The latest from the Xbox Live status page says the issues with Xbox Live are now affecting unlocking achievements and buying downloadable items.
Original story
Xbox Live's status report page is currently showing issues related to signing into Xbox Live.
There is no definitive source of the issues, but Microsoft is aware and working on a fix. Here's what the site currently says:
Are you having issues signing into Live? We’re aware of what you’re experiencing and we’re working with our partner to get it fixed. Thanks for being patient while we work, Xbox members! We’ll update you as soon as we have additional information.
Issues are also apparently affecting Xbox Live related websites.

Our Take
I am currently signed into Xbox Live streaming Despicable Me 2 on my Xbox One, so the service isn't totally crippled. You might be able to get on if you haven't been experiencing issues already.
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.
