Microsoft’s Xbox One is basically unusable right now due to Xbox Live problems
Xbox One owners are currently dealing with a pretty severe Xbox Live issue that’s making Microsoft’s console difficult to use for anything at all. Many people (just take a look at the Xbox One subreddit) are reporting seeing a black screen shortly after their console boots up. Others are having issues accessing save data. Microsoft has tweeted that it’s aware of the “Xbox One console startup, title update, and sign-in errors” and will provide updates as it can. It’s pointing people to the system status page, but that’s also down at the moment.
We are aware of reports of Xbox One console startup, title update and sign-in errors. We will keep everyone informed once we have more information to share. Thank you all for your patience.
