'Major outage' hits Xbox network

What seemed like scheduled maintenance for Xbox has turned into a widespread outage, leaving thousands unable to game. Over 8,800 Xbox players reported network problems since 12pm BST in the UK and US.

Issues across platforms

Xbox's planned maintenance on The Elder Scrolls Online Tamriel Unlimited on 2 October was expected to cause game launch problems until 5pm BST. However, users faced more widespread issues as they struggled to log in and access the Xbox store.
