Xbox Network Is Down Right Now, Microsoft Confirms

Microsoft confirmed widespread Xbox Network issues affecting account profiles, subscriptions, and the storefront, causing global sign-in failures and disconnections. While a solution is being developed without a specific ETA, the company is also beta testing a smart download client in preview build 2608.260719-2200. This new system optimizes Xbox console and PC application download speeds by periodically testing server pools and routing traffic through the fastest available connections to improve the overall installation process.
