Xbox support just posted on their social media, our teams are focused on multiple investigation angles and remain hard at work. Translation, they still have no idea what's causing it and when it will be fixed. Sign in, game library, game launchers are all still hitting players hours after it started overnight. And the thing is, everybody has a different experience of disruption. Some are able to launch, some are having no issues at all.

So big thing from Microsoft, they still have no clue what's going on or any estimated time when it will be back up. We'll continue to follow the story, provide you the latest. This is The Intel Desk.
