Can't play Rocket League. And we can't play Gears.
All my games are digital.
Fantastic.

Funny. You are damn right. "try again later"
I wouldnt say "a lot" but definitely out of character for XBL

Whoever designed this console needs stringing up
Parity with PlayStation.
Jokes aside, I wonder what's going on, the service having problems is rare for MS, let alone 2 weeks in a row.

Nature of the beast these days. That's why you have both consoles. Unless your Internet goes down. Uh oh.
Halo seems to be fine online, which is odd. Guessing game servers are okay.
Really? I'm sure you'll survive.

Considering it's a brick at the moment. Yeah really.
Now that really is stupid.
The OS is absolutely bizarre, even when they had time with a revamp, these things still exist. I get they want you always connected and know what your doing for reasons think of the consumer for once, ease of use. If Microsoft care so much about usage stats etc. save them while offline and upload when a user goes online.
1. Apps should work even if Xbox Live goes down.
2. A user should not have to do anything to make it work, for example, switch to offline mode.
3. Blu-Ray player working offline, come on!

"Going all digital because putting a disc in is too much effort".
FFS.
EVERYTHING locally downloaded should work if XBL is down. At least for 3 days or something.

Doesn't Xbox have an equivalent of "primary" account on PS4?
On primary devices you can still access all your digital content even without logging in online.

This sucks. This is why you never go full digital.

That explains why I can't access the TWC TV app to watch tv on my xb1. Good thing i still have my 360 connected

Great MS, just great, it's been more than a half hour that I can't access hundreds of dollars that I have to you.
Yes it does and it's not working

Called home console. You can set one account as "primary". Works normally. Don't know what's wrong today.

Yes it does, but multiple people in the thread have stated that this is their primary account and home console and it still isn't working.

8 times in 8 weeks (Since 2016 started)
Seriously people...USE THE OFFLINE MODE
Its on the damn side panel and it takes zero effort to work...If this console is your home console the games will work offline forever
Or pull your ethernet cord...that works too

It's no good saying this is why you don't go full digital...
Apps aren't working. Things like YouTube etc that should need no connection to Xbox Live at all aren't working. Blu Ray discs aren't working.
It isn't just digital games that are affected. 80% of the consoles functionality is kaput because live is having trouble.

I guess I am just lucky then, can't remember the last time either XBL or PSN was down when I wanted to play.
Sucks for those who want to play, hopefully it will get sorted quickly.

I think the issues have been regional in many cases. Not everyone is likely seeing all the downtimes.

Yeah this.
I've been playing almost daily since Rocket League launched and am yet to experience an issue even while the system status messAges are live on the website.
I must have some magical console that seems to ignore the issues and just says "Fuck it" and connects to Live anyway.

Yeah, I also get lucky and rarely get caught when either go down. Sucks for those that do though.

No it doesn't. Not for me or several others in this thread. Nothing is working.
Everything does work if you are offline. Forever. No time limits.
Either unplug the Ethernet cable or set the console to offline and all your digital game downloads will work, so long as it is your home console.
Pins are online. Not local.
It does. It is called home console. Digital purchases on the home console will work until the end of time offline.
What it sounds like from this thread is that people are partially connected to XBL and there are issues with the authentication servers which is causing issues. If XBL isn't working, disconnect and play to your heart's content.

This is a guess, so take it for what its worth.
But probably because there is more than one connection type. I would hazard a guess that the issue is that only some of the servers are down. So the XBox is in a partially online/offline state.
100% i don't believe you...using it right now
Perhaps you don't have home console setup correctly
Because it would if the servers were 100% off...what is happening is they are connecting...just either not correctly or only part of the service is working. So the xbox is not getting the message that online isn't working. Since you are smarter than the xbox you need to tell it something is wrong.

I'm usually one of the lucky ones who has no issues when Live is fucking up for people. Not this time, though. Sucks. I'm chilling in a party with some peeps and 1 person lives about 20 minutes away and is experiencing no issues...
There needs to be a sticky that tells people that use Steam/X1/PS4
It hasn't gone down on me once in the past week+ that people said it was down.

Saves are stored locally as well as in the cloud.
If you play offline, the save will sync to the cloud the next time you are online.
Just because it's working for you doesn't mean it is for everyone else.

It's back up for me.
Yeah? I have it set up as my home console. I share gold with my son. Tried setting to offline, pulled the ethernet, turned the router off etc. Console was still refusing to start digital content and asking for discs.
