It's not just you, Xbox is down again, and physical games aren't safe either

Microsoft’s Xbox network suffered a broad outage Monday morning, blocking sign-ins, library access, store access, and game launches for many users.

The outage hit both digital titles and disc-based games on Xbox consoles, with some physical games unable to launch.

Microsoft said engineers were still investigating the issue after hours of disruption.

The incident highlighted how even physical media can depend on online authentication in today’s server-reliant gaming ecosystem.
