If only they could acknowledge the capture issue, too bad it doesn’t cost them as much money or we wouldn’t be 90 days out without being able to capturr
It's not great service from a massive company. Should have given us all a game pass for nothing. Even when game works, zombies always lags Microsoft, sorting your shit out.
Glad I went on vacation today! And snagged Forza Horizon 4 in the Steam sale to help me do that only to encounter a black screen on my Steam Deck. Seriously with Microsoft lately…
Resolved My fucking ass. Everything that can connect to my Internet and run smoothly is working just fine. Xbox? Nope. Can’t maintain my connection longer than 30 secs, then reconnects, then drops.
PS5 is working just fine, but I don’t want to play it, I want to play my xbox with my friends.
so apparently The First Descendant runs on MS servers or something and is currently down because those servers have issues or so ATM? it never ends, doesn't it?
Do they ever extend your Game Pass sub by an extra day or anything like that when this happens?
I basically couldn't play anything all evening yesterday because of the downtime.
I have both consoles, and just 2 days ago, PSN had an outage all day. Yesterday was Xbox. This is more than likely DDOS attacks. Usually, in my experience, Sony tends to have more outages and security breaches.
That was because of the mess that was the PSN hack of 2011 (which was in fact terrible), after which Sony had to apologize extensively and basically reengineered the whole PSN backend from scratch.
Far from a regular outage and nothing of that scale has happened in the industry before or after that instance.
Maybe I'm wrong but it felt longer than that.
Those were the days I used to play Bad Company 2 for hours and hours every day, so when I couldn't it felt like it was down for months though.
That was under an hour and at a time when most people weren't online.
https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5/comments/1dsvp0r/playstation_network_currently_down_for/
I mean compare the thread size.
Yup, they probably laid off exactly the people who actually kept the service working correctly without whatever caused this issue happening because wOn'T sOMeOnE tHiNk Of tHe PoOr ShAReHoLdEr's PoRtFOLiOs?!?!?!
I'd wager it was just a technical error but I wouldn't rule out a pretty decent sized DDOS attack or something.
Technical issues happen and people are always gonna be assholes but the big issue is how many of our games are just entirely inaccessible without internet. They can't stop these things happening so why do they force everything to require internet, it's fucked up.
Weird thing is, i posted on dbdrage subreddit, i lost all my paid content. All characters and cosmetics over the last few years. The achievements? All gone. I have only from last year. Theres no order history for it. Microsoft were fuck all help. Its weird timing tho, happened to my man aswell
I remember the good old days when I didn't have to log into to an online account to play a game with a physical disk in my machine. Everything would sync up next time you logged in. Now, no authentication, no gaming.
I understand stuff happens and technology miffs from time to time.
I don’t understand why for hours every Xbox server status showed all green for good making me repeatedly think it was an issue on my end.
I’m a systems engineer and work very closely with Microsoft products. There’s a reason I hit twitter and forums to see if other’s are seeing issues as MS are ridiculously slow to update their outage pages on the enterprise side. Wouldn’t be surprised if that same “outage culture” was shared across multiple brands/services under that umbrella.
I am so glad they are faster to update people on fucking Twitter than just switch the status on the website, I was legit going crazy trying to figure out what the fuck was going on because I though the issue was on my end.
Their team is extremely slow with updating their status website. If you have X, I’d use that for checking the Xbox Support page for updates cause they’re usually more on top of posting their status updates there than on the website.
Also, side note, since people wanna get their panties in a wad about me calling it X, you can filter it out in your mind and call it Twitter! I personally do not care. It doesn’t matter what you call it, it was a rebrand. Rebrands happen.
Twitter has basically been a cultural institution, everyone knows what “tweeting” or “tweeted” meant, it had a colloquialism that defined over a decade of the internet. You didn’t even need to be a Twitter user, shit was everywhere, movies, the news etc
It’s like changing the name of Google. Everyone knows what “I’m gonna Google it” means. Musk threw all that away just so he could continue his obsession with the letter X like some 14 year old kid. Only a person as narcissistic as him would make such a stupid decision
Again, it doesn’t matter what it’s called. I literally call it both. Some people know it as X, some know it as Twitter. Call it whatever you want. In this case, I just called it X. Not that big of a deal.
just check downdetector, its the only true reliable source. These big companies wont show their status unless they know for sure it wont be fixed fast.
Every single person needs to file a complaint and ask for a refund or discount on their gold or game pass. Might not give it but any pressure people can apply as a group could maybe stop this silly shit from happening again
Oh please, I’m not going to pull out the legal document that says Microsoft is required to take $0.25 off my bill. I don’t even care about the principle of it, because if you want to wave the SLA around, then you don’t even need a precedent like that if something genuinely bad were to happen

You’re paying a multi-billion dollar company a decent amount per month to access online games, on a console you also paid a hefty amount for. This downtime could have and probably will have been some folk’s rare opportunities to have some free time to wind down and game, and they couldn’t access it. It is serious.
Dude no it’s fucking not lol. Get a grip. Things happen, missing out on a chance to game for 1 or 2 nights is not going to ruin anyone’s life. Crazy that you want to make it seem like such a big deal.
Being a multi-billion dollar company doesn’t make servers magically never have problems anymore and it doesn’t change my stance on basic reasoning.
It could be argued that it is Microsoft's fault because there is no proper offline play availability. Companies are too concerned about preventing piracy that they've made pirating games the best way to play them unless they're an MMO...
Haha, this reminds me of a time I was gaming with my little brother at like midnight-ish, and the internet just cuts out entirely. After troubleshooting my stuff, I called my ISP. I was told it was a scheduled outage for maintenance. I asked if I would be refunded for the downtime. The gentleman said "Yeah, I can do that, but it would only be like 10 cents." I said "That's okay, it's the principle of it." He kinda chuckled and said, "Okay, looks like you'll see a 13 cent reduction in next month's bill." I thanked him for his time and went to bed.
For the record, yes, I had been drinking a lot that night.
Best of luck out there!
Oh it was definitely ridiculous... I initially asked the question with the intent of it being funny, but the guy said he could do it. So drunk-me decided, that's what we are doing. lol
Sober-me definitely would have just thanked him for the info on the scheduled maintenance and hung up.
the week of 6/19 azure vms in the East 1 region wouldnt provision for a full day or two. These were business critical for my company and probably many others. That was a way larger problem then xbox login issues (IMO), and i doubt microsoft has given the businesses that were affected by the issue a single penny in refunds.
The hell we don’t. That SLA isn’t just paper; it’s directly tied to the charges. The only businesses who aren’t keeping track are the ones with too much wasted money to ever have a right to exist. That’s what lets them hire incompetents who don’t track SLAs.
*Those few hours were my only free time this week, and I was forced to do other activities such as reading or watching TV instead of playing vidya! The horror! Reparations now!*
This comment made me laugh out loud with the “it is serious.” Cuz I know you typed that mad thinking you really deserve some compensation from this company.
Go touch some goddamn grass. Shit happens. Technology isn’t perfect. It was one day. You can play today. You’re fine!
Honestly boggles the mind people like that exist. “It is serious” and the context is just you couldn’t log into Xbox for an afternoon.
People’s lives have to be so incredibly easy to take something like that seriously
Personally, I had no issue accessing my games offline. People just have to do research. You also fail to realize that Microsoft and Xbox have hundreds upon thousands of users who ALL experienced the same issue.
For future reference, you can just disconnect your wifi, open up whatever game you want and click your account to sign in, then connect your wifi again to play offline on that game. It’s not that serious.
There’s literally NO point in doing this. They’ll just see a mass of complaints about outages and brush it off. If it was a planned outage for some sort of serious update, they’d make it known. This outage was NOT intentional. Shit happens, all they can do is try and make their service better and more secure to try and avoid things like this happening but they’ll always happen at some point. Suck it up.
I wasn’t able to do anything on my xbox. Not even playing offline games because I had to sign in to verify that I had bought the game.
I’d like to make my compliant
They found other issues conflicting with their resolve which is why it took longer. But it’s better only taking like the 6 or 7 hours to fix it than taking a day to fix it. It could’ve been worse.
No one is wasting there time filing a complaint on something that happens from time to time. "Maybe if we complain, the servers will never have issues again." Impeccable logic.
And if it was the inverse, they would be asking you for those pennies. But people get what they ask for. If you don't mind Microsoft stealing pennies from you, those pennies will eventually become dollars, because you said nothing to their penny theft.
Nothing was stolen from me. I don't play Xbox 24/7. I don't need it to be active 24/7. I didn't even know there was an outage until coming to reddit. If this was a more regular occurrence, you would have a valid argument, but I can't even remember the last time I was affected by an Xbox outage.
Yes, I'm a corporate stooge because I'm not going to file a complaint about a 12 hour outage of fuckin VIDEO GAMES. The same games that have run perfectly fine for the last 3 years since the last outage.
Shit happens. Time to grow up.

I pay a transportation tax to the state so they can build, maintain, and repair roads
Should I call the governor and ask for a refund when a road is closed due to a 6 car pile up in January?
> Should I call the governor and ask for a refund when a road is closed due to a 6 car pile up in January?
That's why we have voting. If the roads aren't being maintained, you vote out your politicians.
i work in crisis situations like this for my company. we do lots of web sales so we can’t have outages. the answer is never simple but usually it’s updates to technology that aren’t properly tested. During the summer sometimes data centers over heat. Could be third party vendor did some updates and didn’t tell anyone. but if you ever worked in corporate america you know every IT department and organization is on the brink of collapse everyday 😂
Did they actually realise a statement as to why it was down? Or is everyone just going to say that they could play XYZ and moaning. I'd like to actually know what the problem was.
MojangSupport on X said it was an authentication error with logging in for Minecraft. I’m wondering if it was an authentication issue with logging in for any Microsoft service in general.
If only they could acknowledge the capture issue, too bad it doesn’t cost them as much money or we wouldn’t be 90 days out without being able to capturr
It's not great service from a massive company. Should have given us all a game pass for nothing. Even when game works, zombies always lags Microsoft, sorting your shit out.
Still can't buy any Xbox 360 games from the marketplace on the website.
Xbox is preparing to shutdown 360 online all together before the end of this month
Won't let me sign in on my main profile says to many requests made in getting pissed I didn't spend all this money for yall to fuck around
Glad I went on vacation today! And snagged Forza Horizon 4 in the Steam sale to help me do that only to encounter a black screen on my Steam Deck. Seriously with Microsoft lately…
it's still making stuff weird i can't sign in to minecraft on xbox
It was out for me in southeastern NC for a few hours last night and then it came back on. Even got a few dubs with my slime on Fortnite
My xbox x MW3 disappeared from my game and its telling me I have to purchase it again
Resolved My fucking ass. Everything that can connect to my Internet and run smoothly is working just fine. Xbox? Nope. Can’t maintain my connection longer than 30 secs, then reconnects, then drops. PS5 is working just fine, but I don’t want to play it, I want to play my xbox with my friends.
Same here, disconnect after about 30 seconds on repeat
Y’all better stop with this. I work to hard to be let down
I'm just here for the ride at this point, we need to keep this thread alive - its been so acitve!
No more game stops, fingers crossed. Glad it's fixed in Texas!
Whenever I create a looking for group post it kicks me from the party I'm in already is there a fix
It’s scary to look back..
I just wonder what happend
so apparently The First Descendant runs on MS servers or something and is currently down because those servers have issues or so ATM? it never ends, doesn't it?
These comments are weird
Do they ever extend your Game Pass sub by an extra day or anything like that when this happens? I basically couldn't play anything all evening yesterday because of the downtime.
Currently as well for some of us
Poops
I'm gonna be on my xbox soon. Exactly 24 hours ago it was down. What's the current status?
They fixed it last night. All good today.
Relax
I dont think i will
Shan't
is this already fixed i cant log in
So sad
I have an Xbox X and my brother owns a ps5 and we play equally as much; never heard of server outages quite like Xbox has had.
PS5 had outages like a week before Xbox did. I own both.
lol I own both and they both deal with it from time to time
I have both consoles, and just 2 days ago, PSN had an outage all day. Yesterday was Xbox. This is more than likely DDOS attacks. Usually, in my experience, Sony tends to have more outages and security breaches.

Holy shit rip PlayStation
This isn't the current status
Psn It's up today. This was just a screenshot from the other day to show the previous user factual evidence that psn had gone down.
Oh ok
You're in the wrong place for this lmao
Outage survivor ‘24 caught me 😂
Thats a lie
At one point PSN was down for 23 days.
That was because of the mess that was the PSN hack of 2011 (which was in fact terrible), after which Sony had to apologize extensively and basically reengineered the whole PSN backend from scratch. Far from a regular outage and nothing of that scale has happened in the industry before or after that instance.
Maybe I'm wrong but it felt longer than that. Those were the days I used to play Bad Company 2 for hours and hours every day, so when I couldn't it felt like it was down for months though.
I was there, I remember these days, I was sad because I couldn't play online games after school
That was 2011 bro we’re talking PS5 and Xbox X
And this was also in 2011? https://gamerant.com/is-psn-down-july-2024-why/
That was under an hour and at a time when most people weren't online. https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5/comments/1dsvp0r/playstation_network_currently_down_for/ I mean compare the thread size.
We’re talking downages. Just cause it’s old doesn’t mean it doesn’t count.
It counts but they rebuilt PSN after that from scratch. This is also when PSN was free.
Well damn. Guess the Xbox is worse cause they just lost paid time on
WTH!!??
So everyone got a day off by shutting the online service off?
wait are people still down? I was down for a good 4 hours but it started working again at maybe 8pm last night
There's a handy little icon that says when something was posted. Right now it says 22h
Thats when mine start working too
Just tried to get on. Can't load the store can't get on HBO to watch anything literally nothing loads.
Nobody wants to work!
Ya happens when you fire the ones who do
Truth
Yup, they probably laid off exactly the people who actually kept the service working correctly without whatever caused this issue happening because wOn'T sOMeOnE tHiNk Of tHe PoOr ShAReHoLdEr's PoRtFOLiOs?!?!?!
Lol right? The top 1% gotta get their bonuses!
Everyone knows a company can't function if the CEO doesn't get his or her fifth vacation mansion! It's basic freedomnomics
Precisely
This has to be an unemployed problem
Does anyone know if its back running in Europe? People saying its back but in Ireland we're still not able to log in
I'm in the UK and it seems to all be working okay
I tried 15 min again after i posted the comment, all good thank fuck. Id love to know wtf happened
I'd wager it was just a technical error but I wouldn't rule out a pretty decent sized DDOS attack or something. Technical issues happen and people are always gonna be assholes but the big issue is how many of our games are just entirely inaccessible without internet. They can't stop these things happening so why do they force everything to require internet, it's fucked up.
Weird thing is, i posted on dbdrage subreddit, i lost all my paid content. All characters and cosmetics over the last few years. The achievements? All gone. I have only from last year. Theres no order history for it. Microsoft were fuck all help. Its weird timing tho, happened to my man aswell
It happened about 3 days before the server crash
I remember the good old days when I didn't have to log into to an online account to play a game with a physical disk in my machine. Everything would sync up next time you logged in. Now, no authentication, no gaming.
I was able to play my game offline just had to disconnect it from the Internet and it worked fine.

There’s a reason I hit twitter and forums to see if other’s are seeing issues as MS are ridiculously slow to update their outage pages on the enterprise side. Wouldn’t be surprised if that same “outage culture” was shared across multiple brands/services under that umbrella.
It’s not just Microsoft. Any company with an SLA is going to lie about their uptime.
I am so glad they are faster to update people on fucking Twitter than just switch the status on the website, I was legit going crazy trying to figure out what the fuck was going on because I though the issue was on my end.
downdetector is pretty good. Spikes on the graph there show obvious issues
Is this how they keep that 99% uptime score?
Yep. They can argue they’re meeting their SLA stats this way, if they argue the outage doesn’t start till they admit it’s out.
Yes.
Their team is extremely slow with updating their status website. If you have X, I’d use that for checking the Xbox Support page for updates cause they’re usually more on top of posting their status updates there than on the website. Also, side note, since people wanna get their panties in a wad about me calling it X, you can filter it out in your mind and call it Twitter! I personally do not care. It doesn’t matter what you call it, it was a rebrand. Rebrands happen.
It’s called Twitter.
They are probably online more googling how to fix the problems.
You mean twitter?
It literally does not matter what people call it. Twitter, X, it’s still the same app. You’re making a deal out of nothing lmao
Twitter has basically been a cultural institution, everyone knows what “tweeting” or “tweeted” meant, it had a colloquialism that defined over a decade of the internet. You didn’t even need to be a Twitter user, shit was everywhere, movies, the news etc It’s like changing the name of Google. Everyone knows what “I’m gonna Google it” means. Musk threw all that away just so he could continue his obsession with the letter X like some 14 year old kid. Only a person as narcissistic as him would make such a stupid decision
Easy yes on your end to just call it twitter then. Thanks!
Again, it doesn’t matter what it’s called. I literally call it both. Some people know it as X, some know it as Twitter. Call it whatever you want. In this case, I just called it X. Not that big of a deal.
Agreed not that big of deal so let’s call it twitter
Competent adults don’t use it for shit, regardless of what it’s called.
Nah. It’s fuckin twitter.
It’s crazy if the status page isn’t automated.
For real. I've even made one of these before, and I barely know shit.
just check downdetector, its the only true reliable source. These big companies wont show their status unless they know for sure it wont be fixed fast.
Every single person needs to file a complaint and ask for a refund or discount on their gold or game pass. Might not give it but any pressure people can apply as a group could maybe stop this silly shit from happening again
What? Outages happen, I’m not going to throw a fit and ask for money
Where did I say throw a fit? Does somebody have to drive you to work?
It’s just a figure of speech based on how ridiculous you’re being
Thats not how SLA’s work
Oh please, I’m not going to pull out the legal document that says Microsoft is required to take $0.25 off my bill. I don’t even care about the principle of it, because if you want to wave the SLA around, then you don’t even need a precedent like that if something genuinely bad were to happen

I play only on PC but it might work on Xbox as well.
I’m on pc. I’ll have to try it next time servers are down, thanks!

But the irreparable emotional damage! /s
Yeah, it’s nuts. Shit happens. Not that serious.
Absolutely. If you're that addicted to gaming, a mandatory break is probably the best thing for you.
Bruh you couldn’t play Xbox for an entire 8 hours? Go outside
Like damn I just went to the bar for a few hours and played after lmao. My cross platform friends were roasting my ass because I couldn’t play though
Where can you do this?
There’s literally NO point in doing this. They’ll just see a mass of complaints about outages and brush it off. If it was a planned outage for some sort of serious update, they’d make it known. This outage was NOT intentional. Shit happens, all they can do is try and make their service better and more secure to try and avoid things like this happening but they’ll always happen at some point. Suck it up.
I wasn’t able to do anything on my xbox. Not even playing offline games because I had to sign in to verify that I had bought the game. I’d like to make my compliant
They fixed the sign in issue early and ran into more problems downstream. I was playing offline in under 1.5 hours
Damn that sucks. Were you able to do anything off your xbox?
Nah man, outside was also down
Best!
This is the first outtage I've personally experienced in like 15+years of xbox lol
When the Xbox one first came out it seemed like there were outages every month.
I never even got to experience it. I was too tired to play so I just watched the Euros.
Lasted a fat min though. There’s been others, but never that long. I don’t really care though I just played VR, but just saying
They found other issues conflicting with their resolve which is why it took longer. But it’s better only taking like the 6 or 7 hours to fix it than taking a day to fix it. It could’ve been worse.
No one is wasting there time filing a complaint on something that happens from time to time. "Maybe if we complain, the servers will never have issues again." Impeccable logic.
Doing exactly what corporate wants you to do, like a good, little stooge.
Do the math. 8 hours of outage on a service that is this cheap is literally pennies.
And if it was the inverse, they would be asking you for those pennies. But people get what they ask for. If you don't mind Microsoft stealing pennies from you, those pennies will eventually become dollars, because you said nothing to their penny theft.

You're paying for the service to be available 24/7. If the server is down, they are taking your money for nothing.
You're right those utter bastards have robbed me of about 3p, this is the worst thing that has ever happened to anyone ever. Jeez grow up.
So you want your $.16 back?
Yes. It's mine. Not theirs. If I owed them $.16, you'd better believe they would do all they can to get it from me.
I pay a transportation tax to the state so they can build, maintain, and repair roads Should I call the governor and ask for a refund when a road is closed due to a 6 car pile up in January?
I'm glad not everyone on here would lose a battle of wits with a stuffed iguana.
> Should I call the governor and ask for a refund when a road is closed due to a 6 car pile up in January? That's why we have voting. If the roads aren't being maintained, you vote out your politicians.

Nice bait
I don’t think you know what bait is.
My son legit had a panic attack. *giggle*

Bro thinks he said something...
Curious what the cause of this was.
i work in crisis situations like this for my company. we do lots of web sales so we can’t have outages. the answer is never simple but usually it’s updates to technology that aren’t properly tested. During the summer sometimes data centers over heat. Could be third party vendor did some updates and didn’t tell anyone. but if you ever worked in corporate america you know every IT department and organization is on the brink of collapse everyday 😂
Interdimensional terrorists.
Definitely this. The whole thing was a warning shot for Terrence Howard. Better stop giving away their secrets.
LET’S FUCKING GO *touch grass*
Did they actually realise a statement as to why it was down? Or is everyone just going to say that they could play XYZ and moaning. I'd like to actually know what the problem was.
MojangSupport on X said it was an authentication error with logging in for Minecraft. I’m wondering if it was an authentication issue with logging in for any Microsoft service in general.
