Xbox Live is down: Service crashes for frustrated gamers across the UK and US

It’s one of the most popular gaming platforms around the world, but it appears that Xbox Live has crashed this morning.

According to Down Detector, the problems started at 09:34 GMT, and are affecting players across the UK and US.

While the reason for the outage remains unclear, of those who reported issues, 70% said they were having problems with online gaming, 25% with log-in, and 4% with their friends list.

Mirror Online has contacted Xbox for comment.

Unsurprisingly, frustrated players have flocked to Twitter to discuss the outage.

One user tweeted: "Sweet! Xbox live is down. Just in time for the weekend to begin."

Another added: "Xbox live just crashed in the middle of game, Modern warfare."

And one joked: "Wife's doing work, kids doing school work, finally have a moments peace during this lockdown and XBOX live goes down..."

This isn't the first time that Xbox Live has crashed in recent weeks.

Last month, servers were down for gamers across the globe, alongside a further issue with Call of Duty Warzone servers, angering thousands of users.
