Xbox Live is down again as people play more games in self-isolation

Xbox Live is down once again. This time the technical issues come on a Friday evening as millions of people shelter in their homes to fight the spread of coronavirus. Microsoft has confirmed the problems, and it is working to get its network back up and running.

This outage is preventing people from logging into Xbox Live. It’s also causing multiple issues with social features like parties and matchmaking. This is preventing online multiplayer from functioning properly. But, more broadly, people are encountering issues getting into games or matches in Call of Duty and more.
