Attention all gamers, rejoice! Xbox Live is officially back up and running after a brief outage that left users unable to log in to their profiles and play their favorite games. Microsoft’s gaming platform is now back in service, with the company confirming the resolution of the issues in a tweet posted on X Tuesday evening.
During the outage, gamers faced difficulties accessing their profiles, which meant they couldn’t play games on their consoles. The “major outage” was first reported around 2:07 p.m. ET, according to Microsoft’s Xbox Status support page. Users were unable to sign in, leading to frustration as even locally downloaded games on their Xboxes wouldn’t open.
Despite the inconvenience, the cause of the issue remains unknown. Xbox Support has been providing updates on the situation, addressing user concerns and fielding inquiries about the outage. The frustration was palpable, with “Xbox” quickly becoming a trending topic on social media.
But fear not, fellow gamers! Xbox Live is back in action, and you can once again dive back into your virtual adventures. So grab your controller, log in, and get ready to game on!
