Is Xbox Live Down?
Server Status Now
Live status of every Xbox service category Microsoft reports (sign-in, Store and Game Pass, friends and parties, multiplayer, cloud gaming and more) from Microsoft's official Xbox status feed, with each incident Microsoft posts kept on record.
Source and history second.
Xbox Live is UP.
Microsoft reports all 11 Xbox service categories as Operational — sign-in, the Store and Game Pass, friends and parties, multiplayer, cloud gaming and the rest are listed below. This is Microsoft's own status feed (the US English edition), read every 5 minutes; we don't test Xbox services ourselves. If you still can't play, the problem may be limited to one game's servers, your region or your connection, or be one Microsoft hasn't posted yet.
OperationalThis answer comes from the official source above, not from user reports.

Xbox Live outage history.
No incidents recorded yet.
Source: Microsoft's Xbox status feed . Impact is Microsoft's own impact level (Low, Medium, High), shown here as minor, major or critical. Microsoft removes an incident from the feed once it ends, often without publishing an end time; the end shown here is then the time our checker first saw it gone, not Microsoft's recovery time. Checks run about every 5 minutes, so that is normally up to 5 minutes late, longer if a check fails. We keep the incidents our successful checks saw, starting when our checker began reading the feed.
Scheduled downtime is listed separately from unexpected incidents. While Microsoft still lists an incident without an end time, we show “Ongoing”. Once it leaves the feed, the end is the time our checker first saw it gone — never an invented time.

What to do if Xbox Live is down.
- 01Check which Xbox service is affected.
Microsoft's US English status feed splits Xbox into 11 categories with 108 named services (our count of the feed on 12 November 2026), for example Sign-in, Buying Game Pass games, Creating parties, Matchmaking and Launching cloud games. Sign-in can work while parties or the Store are limited, so check the row for what you are trying to do.
- 02A game can fail while Xbox is green.
Most online games run their own servers. If every Xbox category is Operational but one game won't connect, check that game's own status (Fortnite, Rocket League and others have pages here) and its official channels.
- 03Restart and test the console's connection.
Fully restart the console (hold the power button about 10 seconds), then run Settings > General > Network settings > Test network connection. The error it shows tells you where to look next; a failed test alone doesn't rule out an Xbox problem, so compare it with the categories above.
- 04Check Xbox Support for updates.
Microsoft posts outage notes on the Xbox status page and the @XboxSupport account on X. If neither mentions a problem and your connection test passes, contact Xbox Support.
