Xbox network is currently down for many users, affecting account and profile management, the store and subscriptions, games and gaming, and apps and mobile functions. Users report an inability to sign in, experience disconnections, and see missing titles in the storefront. Microsoft said it has identified the problems and is working on a solution, but it has not provided an estimated time for when the fixes will be applied. The company's support account posted that engineers are actively working to mitigate the issue. The outage follows a recent PlayStation Network disruption that lasted several hours and affected account management, gaming, social features, video, the store, and the PlayStation Direct service, delaying access to the Marvel Tokkon open beta and prompting criticism of Sony's upcoming disc‑less console strategy. The incident highlights concerns about the reliability of digital‑only game libraries, as outages can prevent users from accessing their purchased content. Microsoft has not disclosed a timeline for restoring the services.
