Xbox Live Network Suffers Massive Outage Globally

Back-to-Back Network Outages: Xbox Live Follows PS Network Disruption

The Xbox Live network servers went down globally a few hours ago. This outage just happened the day after a similar disruption to Sony’s PlayStation Network, making it a double blow for the gaming community.

While Xbox Live seems to have recovered by 1:30 PM BST, many users reported difficulties accessing the service during the downtime. This prevented them from playing online games and engaging in multiplayer activities.

The number of outage reports on DownDetector spiked significantly on the morning of the incident. Microsoft officially confirmed a widespread problem and assured the players that they were working on it. The Xbox Status page also acknowledged the server issues.

Just a day before, Sony’s PlayStation network had experienced an eight-hour outage that affected PlayStation 4 and 5 users. While the cause of this disruption remains undisclosed, it was eventually resolved early Tuesday morning.

These back-to-back outages have undoubtedly caused frustration and inconvenience for gamers who rely on these online platforms for daily entertainment.

Update: Xbox has fixed the server issues as mentioned on their official Twitter handle.
