Original Story: Xbox Live is having some trouble this morning, and by that we mean it’s having sign-in issues and letting people access previously purchased content. This comes after recent issues with users experiencing a black screen a few days ago.
Microsoft has confirmed via Twitter it’s aware of the issues and is working on a fix.
If you’re running into errors attempting to sign in or access previously purchased content, our teams are aware and working to identify the cause. We’ll update here when we have more to provide.

Its service status is also listed as limited on Xbox’s official website.
We’ll let you know when it’s back and running, but this isn’t great timing considering the Anthem open demo just went live.
Having issues every now and then is unavoidable, but Xbox Live has had its share of struggles. Editor Brian Shea even wrote an opinion on its functionality and game errors back in 2017.
