    If you're having trouble signing into Xbox Live, try going offline, sign in, and then reconnect to the internet.

    @XboxSupport Yea I still can’t sign in

  • ImNovarla Novarla (@ImNovarla) reported

  • dew66it Execute Order 66 (@dew66it) reported

    @TommiDanger It never went fully down. You just couldn’t sign in wile connected. If you go offline>sign in>go back online then you can connect but online games and a whole bunch of other things related to xbox live stay down. Even YouTube has signedmy account out and won’t let me sign back in

  • GeneLaMontbelly Papa Chief (@GeneLaMontbelly) reported

    @XboxSupport What’s the deal with the Xbox not being able to find a NAT from my router anymore? Dorm router has IPv4 and no way for me to get IPv6. This all started with the outage a month ago!

  • scott77819093 scott (@scott77819093) reported

    @XboxSupport tbf the fix was quicker than i expected

  • PyroMDyet Matt Hillier. Pyrø, Xbo-mech R4-K60 #IndyHatGang (@PyroMDyet) reported

    @MaqiicBuLLeT @SenseiK1lls @XboxSupport Unfortunately the WiFi connection goes through the full authentication process as you have to select 'connect to live' directly that would reset sign in before connecting ethernet skips a lot of it Sorry bud hopefully they sort issue soon

  • car_oregon OregonCarGuy (@car_oregon) reported

    @XboxSupport I was able to sign-in & play via loading a game & auto-sign in. I've been unable to even sign in for about the last hour period until I just loaded Forza Horizon 4, auto-signed into my XBL account upon game loading. Multiplayer👌Online XBL home and guide functions working now.

  • wolvesmarc wolvesmarc (@wolvesmarc) reported

  • lqrz6 lqrlz (@lqrz6) reported

    @JuliusSeizurex @XboxSupport @PlayStation They did fix it? They think they care about ONE person?

  • Gregsta6 Gregstaa (@Gregsta6) reported

    @Fuckabigot @Jamie34109 @XboxSupport We pay a premium sum of money for the service. The company has enough revenue to buy a third of the world's countries... And you feel you need to support them on twitter. Who's the fool here?

  • DadMidwaste Yupneck (@DadMidwaste) reported

    @Harry_Green1996 @mixter233 @XboxSupport Yeah same. Fixed the sign in but not access to anything. Picked the wrong afternoon to skip work and play video games lol

  • liinsx line (@liinsx) reported

    @BungieHelp apparently not just xbox... I play on ps4 and I'm trying since yesterday to login in destiny but every time I got the cabbage error, I tried everything already, and there's nothing wrong with my internet, I restart everything you could imagine but I can't play ;-;

  • taureancharles Taurean Charles (@taureancharles) reported

    @Xbox @XboxSupport @XboxGamePass can y’all please figure out an alternative so we can play the games we pay for on the console we pay for when sign in services go down? How many times is this **** gonna happen this year?? My god

  • HIPEMENT HIPEMENT (@HIPEMENT) reported

    @CuteGreyWolfy @XboxSupport Xbox live/ the service was rebranded to the above "xbox network" however the live branding will be used as subscription model. So in short they are trying to distinguish Live and the platform/network

  • mariomaster1000 Alex Smith (@mariomaster1000) reported

    @XboxSupport PlayStation doesn’t have these problems.

  • JulianArce0 Vivix™ (@JulianArce0) reported

    @MarkFromNorfolk @XboxSupport You're not special bro, your just like everyone else paying for the service
