Not letting me sign into my account even though I played yesterday?

I played yesterday perfectly fine, then all the sudden today whenever I try to sign in it tells me to wait a while. I’ve tried looking up the error code (0x87DD033), but I couldn’t find anything super meaningful or telling me how to fix it. The one day I get off work too 🥲

Edit: seems like it’s happening to more than just me so definitely looks like a Microsoft issue

Edit 2: Xbox has addressed the issue and is working to fix it. Worldwide outage of Xbox live so someone most definitely got fired today 😭

Edit 3: ITS FUCKING UP. AFTER 5 (?) DAMN HOURS

Widespread Server Outages and issues were being experienced with all Xbox and Microsoft online gaming services.

Xbox Live Services have been restored.

Updates (GMT)

02:10 Service Restored. The status page is not showing a resolution, however Xbox have stated that users should no longer be experiencing issues.

01:51 Service Improvement - Official Status Page indicates that the issue has been resolved.

The 'all clear' has been given

01:39 Service Improvement - the list of regions able to connect continues to grow. I am confident that we can see services healthy soon.

01:23 A source indicates that the whole of Microsoft is experiencing issues, with these being focused on Xbox Live. The source confirms that there is currently no ETR, but as evidenced, many users are now gaining access to services.

01:10 User reports on Downdetector continue to ease

00:58 Service Improvement - More regions are able to access services. Gradually, services seem to be coming back online.

00:36 Service Improvement - Access in South East England (I personally have been able to sign-in and play on a Realm in Minecraft)

00:28 Service Degradation - Users report losing access to services after being online temporarily.

00:22 Service Improvement - Number of regions able to access services continues to increase. Incident is still flagged as a major outage on Xbox Support, but due to the amount of users claiming access to services I have put here Partial.

00:06 Service Improvement - Many parts of the US are now experiencing access to services.

23:40 Service Improvement - Some regions are now PARTIALLY UP

23:23 Service Improvement - Users continue to report service availability. Multiple sources indicate that users are able to partially access Xbox Live Services in certain regions (although unknown).

23:18 Service Improvement - Sign-in now mostly online. Xbox app and console users are able to sign in in most cases, however individual games which utilise Xbox Live services and the Xbox Store still remain disconnected.

22:49 Service Improvement - Some users are able to sign in.

22:42 Xbox have commented that the issue is taking longer than anticipated to fix. This further brings back the ETR.

Xbox have commented on the situation.

22:33 Related issues continue to be identified. ETR therefore is evermore later.

22:17 Service Improvement - Sign-in page is now reachable

22:11 Secondary issues continue to be reported, therefore it may still be some time before we can see 'the light at the end of the tunnel'

21:49 Some apps within Xbox Consoles are able to be used.

21:46 A 'Related Issue' has been identified.

A break from the new issue causes, a 'Related Issue' has been encountered.

21:41 New setbacks identified, will not post them here as to avoid repetition. See below two updates.

21:38 New possible set back, same as below update.

21:32 Possible setback - issue was identified at 21:26, but is now showing at 21:39, meaning a new cause for the issue could have been found. This means that a resolution timeframe will be later than originally thought.

The status has been updated, with a new cause for the problem being identified at 21:31.

21:27 Service improvement - users are now able to report outages on the Xbox Status website, which wasn't the case before. The website is now instantly loading, compared to earlier where it would take approx. 30 seconds to load, indicating that some services are easing up, and user experience is improving.

21:26 The issue has been identified, by Xbox, as reported on their Status Page.

21:21 User reports continue to fall, yet to no prevail. Outages are still being experienced globally, with no indication as to a possible resolution timeframe from Microsoft.

21:10 This is not a resolution, but users are able to play offline games by switching off network in Xbox settings.

21:08 Some regions are now online, according to user reports. As to which regions these are, this is yet to be known.

20:58 On X (Formerly Twitter) at 11:55am PT / 2:55pm ET / 7:55pm BT. The official page posted "We are aware that some users have been disconnected from Xbox Live," "We're investigating! Please follow here and on our status page for updates."

20:55 Outages still persist, with no indication of the time it may take to resolve. User reports have plateaued, with the number of new reports now decreasing. It is still very clear that these issues have not been resolved, and are being experienced globally.

20:38 Many Xbox games are now showing on the Downdetector list of games with outages.

20:32 Xbox has only reported that the Account & Profile Services are down, therefore the issues are all being caused by user authentication (or the lack thereof). In theory, as only one element of the Xbox Services are down, the issue shouldn't take too long to be resolved, compared to a situation where more elements are down.

20:25 Major Outage officially reported on Xbox Status Page

Xbox has officially reported that the Account & Profile Services have experienced a major outage.

20:18 Issues are still persisting, with outages being experienced globally, and across all services. As u/NationalAnteater1280 identified, it is likely that this has been caused by a cyber attack, most likely being some sort of DDoS Attack.

20:03 Over 30,000 user reports indicate that this is true.

The official Xbox Status Page currently is showing no errors, but seems overloaded as when users try to report issues, the service shows as unavailable.


If you go OFFLINE in Settings > General > Network, you can play again

There is currently a known Xbox service outage. Please see the stickied thread for further information!

If you go OFFLINE in Settings > General > Network, you can play again

It does not work with games and apps that need to be connected obviously. But at least you can play most single player games or watch a blu ray again… While they’re fixing this mess, hopefully

Edit: once offline you can log back into your account

Edit: as noted in the comments, you can even go back online after, which should allow you to play most games that require to be online

Can’t sign in to Xbox Live. Anyone else having this issue?

Just got home a few minutes ago and turned on my Series X. It took 2-4 minutes to attempt to sign me in, but then it didn’t sign me in. So my Xbox was logged into a signed out state. I tried to log in to Xbox Live again and it didn’t work. Anyone else having problems?




Nintendo did not say they'll be taking legal action against scalpers

Nintendo did not say they'll be taking legal action against scalpers

I get really frustrated with poor journalism within video game journalism. It seems to happen a lot in relation to the Switch Take this recent post for example:

https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/1dspoiy/switch_2_wont_face_low_supply_legal_action/

The title of tech4gamers article says that "Legal Action Planned Against Scalpers". It doesn't directly say Nintendo's planning on suing scalpers, but saying legal action heavily implies that.

Here's the problem. Nintendo didn't say that at all!

The article was based on Nintendo's recently shareholder question and answer that's available here:

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2024/qa2406.pdf

Here is question 2 as translated by Google translate:

"Q2: I would like to ask about measures to prevent resale of the successor to the Nintendo Switch. At last year's general shareholders meeting, you said that you would take measures to prevent resale by ensuring sufficient production of the hardware, but are you making progress on these measures?"

"A2: Furukawa: As a measure against resale, we believe that it is most important to produce a sufficient number of units to meet customer demand, and this approach has not changed since last year. In addition, we are considering whether we can take any measures within the scope of the law, taking into account the circumstances of each region. In addition, last year and the year before, we were unable to produce a sufficient amount of Nintendo Switch hardware due to a shortage of semiconductor parts, but this situation has now been resolved. We do not believe that the shortage of parts will have a significant impact on production for successor models at this time."

It doesn't at all say that Nintendo plans to sue or take legal action against scalpers. (And I hate scalpers.) It says that Nintendo wants to do what they legally can! That's completely different!

Switch "journalists" should be held to a higher standard. I don't know whether the problem was a bad translation or huge logic jumps. But it's ridiculous that articles like this gain traction based on bad journalism.

Low skill low effort game that is easily "put down" for relaxing?

Low skill low effort game that is easily "put down" for relaxing?

My kids got me hooked on Suika on their switch. I like it, but I feel like I've hit a ceiling with it and am looking for something new with some kind of variety. I am not looking for exciting, challenging, stressful. This is purely for after an insane 12 hour day just decompressing for 30-45 minutes.

I loved Mario wonder and it was great for this, I 100% it, that last special world level kicked my ass but overall the game was GREAT for being able to pick it up and jump into a couple levels then put it down for awhile.

I did play TOTK, it was fun, but my gaming happens in short bursts. I turned it on and I'm on some mountain and I think I have to find a horse or idk - I don't want that. I want something I can play here and there, pick it up after a couple months without having to re-learn what the heck I'm doing

I'm generally not a fan of like "morrorwind" type games where you search around for a lot of the gameplay.

Thank you
