Xbox Live, an online multiplayer gaming platform experiences problems occasionally, and Xbox users are always reporting issues with the online service by Microsoft. Microsoft’s Xbox live status report is kind of vague, that’s why most of the time people resort to Twitter to look for answers’ when the service is down or there’s an outage.

In fact, we’ve received reports a few days ago that the Xbox live status was down and suffered a major outage. Xbox users were unable to access online and were met with the message: “There was a problem. We couldn’t sign you in. Try again in a few minutes, or check your account by signing into account.live.com.” It has also affected Microsoft’s other online services, including Hotmail, Outlook.com, OneDrive, Skype and Office 365.

The problems have affected Xbox users and most of them took to Twitter to complain about the said outage.
