Xbox Live is currently experiencing issues for some players, preventing key features from being accessed. Twitter users began reporting issues with the service in the afternoon on May 6th, 2022, while others reported they weren’t experiencing any at all. Twitter user RayvenVincent noted that their Xbox was working just fine, but their husband was unable to play games like Halo. Xbox confirmed these online reports on its official support page, citing “major outages” with three services: Store and subscriptions, Cloud gaming and remote play, and Games and gaming. More specifically, the page notes that players are experiencing issues buying and playing their downloaded games and given that’s one of the biggest ways people acquire games now, this is likely affecting a large group of people.
An outage was reported around 4PM eastern time and the support team stated it was working on the issue at around 6PM eastern time. As of right now, it’s unclear when the problems will be resolved. In the meantime, players should be able to join parties, watch movies, and play multiplayer in games that they are able to launch.
We’ll keep you posted on when the issue is resolved.
