Xbox Live Suffers Major Outage

UPDATE: Service has been restored.

Xbox Live has been down for several hours today. According to Xbox support, there are “major outages” for your Account and Profile, Store and Subscriptions, Multiplayer gaming, and Cloud gaming.

Of course, these outages mean that some players are unable to use any online functionality—which would include things like YouTube and Netflix (two of my most used apps). To make matters worse, today is the launch of Cold War season two. Cold War season two is supposed to bring zombies to Verdansk for the first time and may finally have some answers for the nuke that can be found on the map.

We are aware that users may not be able to sign-in to Xbox Live at this time. Our teams are currently investigating to fix this issue. We will update here and on https://t.co/PzAdjUFMJj when we have more information to share!
