It’s not just you: various Microsoft services including Xbox Live and Outlook.com are currently having some issues, and Microsoft is already investigating. The Xbox Live issues are occurring on the day of the Xbox Series X/S global launch, and it’s possible that millions of early-adopters are currently unable to enjoy their new consoles.
According to the Xbox Live status website, Xbox and Windows 10 users may have trouble signing into Xbox Live, and the Destiny 2 game on Xbox One is also having some issues right now. We invite you to keep the Xbox Live Status website open if you’re affected by these problems.
We're aware that users are currently unable to sign into Xbox Live on various platforms. The right teams are looking into the issue and working on a fix. We'll provide updates here on our Twitter, or on our status page at https://t.co/dG2dbISiH7
