Update: After Being Down, Xbox Live Is Back Up And Running
Update 1:30pm: Everything should be back to normal. Xbox Support has confirmed that things are back up and running. Hopefully, this continues.
Original Story: Xbox Live is having some trouble this morning, and by that we mean it's having sign-in issues and letting people access previously purchased content. This comes after recent issues with users experiencing a black screen a few days ago.
Microsoft has confirmed via Twitter it's aware of the issues and is working on a fix.
Its service status is also listed as limited on Xbox's official website.
We'll let you know when it's back and running, but this isn't great timing considering the Anthem open demo just went live.
Having issues every now and then is unavoidable, but Xbox Live has had its share of struggles. Editor Brian Shea even wrote an opinion on its functionality and game errors back in 2017.
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.
