UPDATE: As of 8:49PM EST Xbox Support states that “Users should no longer be encountering issues signing in to Xbox Live and services. Thank you for your patience, game on!”. The Xbox Live Account & Profile Status states All Clear at this time.
If you’re an Xbox user like me, then you might just be out of luck playing any of your games right now.
Around 2PM EST users began having issues with logging in, accessing their gaming catalogue on Xbox and Windows, accessing the Xbox App, logging into the Xbox website, literally everything Xbox related.
Players worldwide are reporting issues and it appears that the resolution is still pending on Microsoft’s side. You can keep up with the fix on the Xbox Status page.

Hopefully a fix comes in soon. In the mean time I’ll be taking on some yardwork …
