The outage appears to have started shortly after noon (Pacific Time) on Thursday. It’s not the Xbox’s first flaw in recent memory – the platform went through a difficult patch in 2020, with multiple interruptions while players flocked to the platform to pandemicentertainment broadcast by air.
“We will make updates here and at http://xbox.com/status when we have more information to share,” added the company on Twitter.
