Staring down the misery of how to solve Xbox high packet loss this afternoon or evening? You’re not alone. Xbox Live is down for many users, it seems, and Microsoft‘s Xbox Status website has been of very little help so far.
“We are aware that some users have been disconnected from Xbox Live,” the official Xbox Support Twitter account said at 11:55am PT / 2:55pm ET / 7:55pm BT.
“We’re investigating! Please follow here and on our status page for updates.”
At the time of writing, that status page, purportedly updated three minutes ago, is showing green across the board for the US and UK. Account functionality, friends, streaming, cloud gaming, multiplayer – all A-okay. Except they aren’t. That’s why we’re here.
Hopefully this thing updates again soon and we can get some detail on what monkey wrench has been thrown where, and if we’re lucky, how long it will take to fix. Down Detector suggests pretty significant problems with Xbox Live, starting with the ability to log in at all.
