Xbox Live, Game Pass cloud gaming access down for players for more than two hours

Xbox Live players found themselves unable to get their game on Thursday. Microsoft's online gaming service, which lets players engage in multiplayer games and access cloud-based games, was down for more than an hour Thursday afternoon. In addition to the more than 100 million monthly users who subscribe to Xbox Live for multiplayer gaming, 18 million pay for Xbox Game Pass and must connect to Xbox Live for access to that cloud gaming service. "We are aware that users may not be able to sign-in to Xbox Live at this time," read a tweet on the Xbox Support account. "Our teams are currently investigating to fix this issue."
