Overview
- Xbox’s official status page shows a “major outage” across Account & Profile, Store & Subscriptions, Games & Gaming and Apps & Mobile, preventing sign‑ins and other core functions.
- The outage produced thousands of user reports on outage trackers, with Downdetector peaking at roughly 3,000 reports as players were unable to launch many titles.
- Many affected users saw error code 0x87e107df, which indicates Xbox’s servers could not verify digital licences and in some cases blocked disc and backwards‑compatible games from starting.
- Microsoft’s Xbox Support posted updates saying engineers are actively working to mitigate the problem and that the issue is identified but the resolution is still pending with no ETA.
- Players can try switching consoles to offline mode to run some single‑player installed games, and the incident has renewed concern about reliance on online licence checks after last week’s PlayStation network disruption.
