Xbox has announced that its Xbox Live services are currently down after players started logging in with login issues. The official Xbox Support Twitter account confirmed the outage. According to the Xbox status page, several services are currently announced off, without cause or estimated time of recovery. Things like Account and profiles, the Xbox Live Store and subscriptions, multiplayer and cloud games are all currently offline, according to Xbox.

The official Xbox support team says it is working to resolve these issues, but until services like Xbox Live, multiplayer and xCloud are not yet available.
It’s unclear what the cause of the outage is, but it’s serious enough to eliminate all major Xbox services. IGN will update this story as it develops, but for now, anyone who wants to play multiplayer or cloud games will have to wait on Xbox.
