Update: Microsoft’s Status page now indicates the issue has been resolved and normal service restored.

It seems like Microsoft’s Xbox Live signing in service is one again experiencing issues, with some users complaining of being unable connect to the network using their consoles.

Microsoft’s Status page confirms the issue, noting Xbox Live Core Services is currently limited, with issues with “Signing in; creating, managing, or recovering an account; search.

The problems are not affecting all users, but those affected could have issues on the Xbox One, Xbox 360, Xbox on other devices, and  Xbox on Windows 10.

Microsoft says they are working to resolve the issue, which appears to be ongoing for around an hour, as quickly as possible.

The last such issue was only a month ago – hopefully this will not become a regular occurrence.

We’ll update this post when Xbox Live services return to normal.
