Xbox Live, Microsoft's online multiplayer gaming platform, is down across the UK and the US.
According to DownDetector.com, the UK, Germany and Poland are the most-affected areas in Europe, while the United States also appears to have been significantly affected.
The Xbox Support Twitter account wrote: "We have teams working on sign-in issues on console & at xbox.com right now! This includes any error messages you may be seeing when trying to log back in after a disconnect. Please watch here for updates as available."
One gamer responded: "I've tried turning my system off and on three times. Still can’t sign on which means I can’t use anything. Exactly what I wanted after working all day!"
Microsoft's Xbox Live status page stated that service was stable - long after an abundance of tweets stated the opposite.
One gamer wrote: "Maybe you should update the xbox live status. Still shows no issues when clearly there is. Over 6,000 reports of log in issues and climbing."
