Xbox Live Experiencing Issues Today [UPDATE]

Parts of Xbox Live are down.

60 Comments

[UPDATE] According to the Xbox Live status site and the @XboxSupport twitter account, full service should have resumed.

The original story is below.

Hopefully your Valentine's Day plans don't rely on accessing Xbox Live, as the service is currently running into some problems.

Following reports from players, Microsoft has acknowledged the issues, both on its support Twitter account and the Xbox Live status site. Both of those specifically reference problems with accessing the friends list and Achievements on Xbox One.

No Caption Provided

The latest update on the status page states, "We believe we have identified the problem causing some members to have issues viewing Achievements, Friends List, or the activity of friends. Thanks for your patience as the team works to resolve the issue."

There's no ETA for when service will be fully restored. Other issues have reportedly included an inability to stay signed in to Xbox Live.

We'll report back with any further developments.

@hacker_fc: lol I find it funny that x bots try and justify or downplay Xbox live issues. There's always problems with it.

@louixiii: You can buy cards if you're afraid of having your credit card information attached to your account.

I was experiencing issues around 12am this morning (Feb. 15th). Could be ISP, could be XBL. Chat was messed up. Fairly certain that's all working as it should now.

Everyone went to bed after, so the night ended crappy.

@Mirimon78: Meanwhile, 4 times as many people were having issues on PSN in the last 24 hours according to downtracker.com.

I guess GS didn't report it since that's normal for PSN lol.

@ExoticCharm: That's kinda funny coming from you, you're quick to jump on the "Playstation hate wagon" Yet you complain about Mirimon hating on Xbox. To be? or not to be....a hypocrite that is, seems to be the question here.

@killercondoms: It's called evening the field. You would have to be new here if you think this site isn't overflowing with PS fanboys compared to any other type. Then again, I'm not surprised my statement triggered you. You do quite a bit of sony pandering on here, don't you?

@ExoticCharm: Mirimon is a pathological liar. It's one thing to fanboy over a piece of plastic, spreading misinformation about the competition is taking it to a whole new level.
