Xbox Live: the full evidence record

The last 24 hours in detail, 60 days of measured availability, a 12-month summary, our own incident log, Xbox Live's declared record, and how the two compare.

← Back to Xbox Live's live status

We started measuring Xbox Live on August 8, 2026, which is 60 days ago. Everything below covers that period, not the full 90 days a longer-tracked service would show.

Email me the next time we see Xbox Live go down

Measured by our own probes from ten regions, not Xbox Live's status page. One email when a measured outage opens and one when it closes, after you confirm the address. No account, no card.

The last 24 hours

What happened most recently, on one time axis: our own probe readings by surface, how many people reported a problem, and what Xbox Live's own status page declared. Below it, any public chatter we saw about Xbox Live and the extra probe it triggered.

The last 24 hours on one axis: what our probes read for each surface we check, how many people reported a problem, and what Xbox Live's own status page declared. Three records side by side; none of them changes another.

Unverified user reportsNo reports about Xbox Live in the last 24 hours, which is not evidence that nothing is wrong.
Xbox Live's status pageNo incident declared in the last 24 hours.

Each probe cell is the worst reading across every region in that quarter hour: one region that did not answer colours the cell, never an average. An amber cell is a reading that answered, but at three times or more its 7-day median for three checks running: slow is not down, and we say which. A filtered reading stays neutral, because a refused probe is not an outage. Report bars count unverified reports, not people we verified; they never change our reading. The status-page lane is Xbox Live's own declaration, shown as they made it.

Third-party chatter, labeled

Public posts from the last hour that mention Xbox Live next to an outage word (“down”, “outage”, “not working”). This is what other people said in public, collected by keyword: not something we measured, and not the user reports above. It never affects the verdict.

No matching public posts in the last hour from the sources we watch.

Availability by region

Availability is measured probes that succeeded, divided by every probe we attempted, per region. Not interpolated, not smoothed, and never computed for a region with zero recorded samples.

Uptime here is the share of each month in which our probes had no outage open for Xbox Live: two consecutive failed readings from a region opens one, the first clean reading closes it. Any detected outage counts, including one seen from a single region, and an outage that crosses midnight on the first of a month is counted in both months with its minutes split. User reports, public posts and Xbox Live's own status page contribute nothing to these figures.

Our incident log

Every outage our own probes detected for Xbox Live in the last 90 days, or since we started measuring it if that is more recent. This list is probe-only: Xbox Live's own declared incidents appear further down this page in their own attributed section, never merged with what we measured here. User reports live on the live page, in their own labeled block.

No outages detected for Xbox Live since we started measuring it on August 8, 2026. We show nothing from before that date.

The scorecard

How Xbox Live's status page compared with what we measured, for every outage above that falls inside the window we have been capturing their claims.

We started recording Xbox Live's own status page on August 20, 2026, 46 days ago. This comparison covers that period only, we do not reconstruct what they said before it, and we compare only inside outages we measured ourselves.

We have not measured an outage for Xbox Live since we started recording their status page, so there is nothing to compare. That is a short measurement window, not a track record.

Xbox Live decides what their status page covers, and it may report per component while our check reaches one surface from ten regions. We state what each side measured and leave the conclusion to you. If Xbox Live believes a figure here is wrong, we publish corrections as prominently as the original.
