Xbox Live is Down Again
This weekend has been a rollercoaster ride for Xbox fans. On one hand, fans were treated to the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase, which gave them a look at some major new games that are all expected to launch for Xbox consoles within the next 12 months. On the other hand, actually playing one's Xbox console has proven difficult this weekend, as Xbox Live went down on Saturday, June 11, and went down yet again on Sunday, June 12.
Microsoft revolved the Xbox Live issues that occurred on June 11 within a couple of hours of them being reported, but it's unclear how long the latest outage will last. It's also unclear exactly how widespread the latest Xbox Live outage is. Xbox Live is not working on our end, and we were in fact kicked out of a game we were playing. However, others have reported no issue connecting to Xbox Live and playing Xbox games.
Microsoft Releases New Update for Xbox 360 Consoles
The good news is that Microsoft is well aware of the current problems with Xbox Live and the company is working to resolve them. The Xbox Support Twitter page has confirmed that the main issues right now are launching games and purchasing games from the marketplace. No timetable was given for when Xbox users can expect the current Xbox Live service problems to be fixed, but based on past outages, it will likely be fixed sooner rather than later.
The Xbox Live problems this weekend are reflective of the issues that the service was happening around this time last month. As some may recall, Xbox Live went down multiple times in early May, with one weekend in particular impacted by the problems. Xbox Live is typically a reliable service, so hopefully Microsoft can figure out what's been causing the outages as of late and put an end to it.
