The Xbox Live service is currently down due to a major outage, impacting customers worldwide and preventing them from signing into their Xbox accounts and playing games.
According to a massive stream of user reports, the online gaming platform has been down for at least three hours, blocking them from playing cloud and offline games that require logging into an Xbox account.
"We are aware that some users have been disconnected from Xbox Live. We're investigating," the Xbox Support team said.
This disruption is impacting users across various platforms, including cloud gaming, Xbox One consoles, Xbox on Windows, Android devices, Apple devices, and web services, among others.
"You may not be able to sign-in to your Xbox profile, may be disconnected while signed in, or have other related problems," the Xbox team explains.
Xbox experienced a similar widespread outage in May 2022 that impacted multiple services, including Games & gaming, Cloud gaming & remote play, and Store & subscriptions.
