The official Xbox Support team says it’s working to fix these issues but until that services like Xbox Live, multiplayer, and xCloud are all down for the moment.
It’s unclear what the cause of the outage is, but it’s severe enough to knock out all of Xbox’s major services. IGN will update this story as it develops, but for the time being, anyone looking to play multiplayer or cloud games on Xbox will have to wait.
