Microsoft To Tell Us No Longer Cares Xbox Service Goes Down Again And Again

Xbox Live went down again on Friday night, Oct. 23, and is reportedly back up for some users, but others report it's still not working.

We’re just a few short days away from the launch of Halo 5 Guardians on Xbox One, one of the biggest and hottest games to hit the console this year. The man behind the network that will support this game’s multiplayer feature (Xbox Live) has left Microsoft after eighteen and a half years at the company

As often in such situations, the outage does not affect all gamers equally, but it nonetheless seems to be affecting a large number of Xbox One users.
At the time of writing, Microsoft's Xbox Live Status page shows a "Limited" label for Xbox Live purchase and content usage, as well as social and gaming services, and the same label also applies to a number of apps. The only affected platform Microsoft listed with limited services is the Xbox 360, with the mention that users cannot browse the Xbox Games Store, post game performance or view the performance of other Xbox Live members. When it comes to apps, IGN is apparently limited for Xbox 360 and iHeartRadio is limited for both Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

It remains unclear at this point just when Microsoft will have everything up and running again for all Xbox Live users, but it shouldn't be too long now.
