The afternoon is being complicated for millions of users trying to access the company’s services normally. For a few minutes now, generalized incidents have been reported that prevent normal login, use of online functions, and access to certain platforms related to the company.

The origin of the problem points to a crash in the infrastructure on which many of the company’s digital services operate. The situation is still evolving, and it’s not entirely clear when it will return to normal, but reports continue to grow on social media and specialized portals.

Xbox and Microsoft services affected by Azure crash

• Update: Services are starting to work again.

The incident stems from Microsoft Azure, whose interruption is causing problems for services like Microsoft 365, Xbox, and access to various online tools. The company itself has acknowledged failures through its status page, where the incident is being updated and which is currently not working.

Among the most commented symptoms are errors when connecting to Xbox Live, difficulties logging in, and the inability to load the Xbox support page, which is currently not responding. Some users indicate that they can access the service with limited functions, although the panel presents intermittent failures.

If you want to follow the evolution of the incident, it’s recommended to check platforms like Down Detector and the official service status channels, where more details should be arriving as stability is restored.
