Xbox Live is down for many, with core services affected (update)

Join independent journalists and industry decision-makers at GamesBeat NEXT, returning to San Francisco November 2–3. The event brings together 500 executives, founders, investors and tech leaders shaping the $200 billion interactive economy for candid discussions on gaming, entertainment, technology and AI, plus executive networking and opportunities to build partnerships and close major deals.

Xbox Live is down for both the Xbox 360 and Xbox One video game consoles, according to Microsoft.

The Xbox Live Status page shows that both social and gaming are down on the Xbox 360, and the core services are also limited for both the Xbox One and the Xbox 360 game machines.

“We are aware of the issue and have our engineers working to get it fixed ASAP! Thanks for your patience while we get everything back to normal,” Microsoft said.

We’ll update this post as we hear more.

On Saturday, Microsoft also posted that it was aware that there were problems for multiplayer combat in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare after an update was posted. Microsoft also said that Facebook sharing wasn’t working, and it was working with Activision to solve the problems.

[Update Sunday, 1:25 a.m. Pacific: Microsoft says core services are back up and running. Social and gaming is still limited on the Xbox 360].
