If you didn’t know or were asleep, you may have completely missed that Xbox Live experienced a few problems last night. The service was down for quite a few hours as many were unable to sign in, play multiplayer games, and lost the ability to purchase content.
As expected, the internet didn’t take this outage particularly well, especially with the length of time it took for services to resume. But many made light of the situation with a variety of memes to pass the time until the server issues were resolved. Here are a few we have found:

Fortunately, the issues are now resolved and players can get back to diving into their consuming their favourite content. There’s been no word on why the service went down, but luckily we can all get back to what we love now.
Were you affected by last night’s server issues? Let us know in the comments below.

I was able to play at 10:00PM EST last night.
I mean, I had family responsibilities to pass the time until then, so time passed by quickly.
I did try to load up the Outriders demo, but couldn't connect to game servers. Went back to playing Control - with a bugged "Put the Record On" mission - and just went on to the AWE DLC
With Xbox Live Down yesterday evening i just switched to a different console last night. I spent the evening working on my poke-e-dex and some Some super smash bros. The perks of owning more then one console.
@TrueAssassin86x I should have broken out the Switch, but I recently finished a marathon of Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition (main game + Future Connected) over the the past few weeks and gave the system a break.
I considerd for a minute to play some of my Switch backlog, but I am in the middle of ReCore and didn't want to start something new that woulr potentially make me drop ReCore entirely.
Had some overdue house chores to take care of anyways so did that instead. By the time I was done, xbl had been back and running for over an hour.
Yeah it sucks, But these things do happen sometimes. I couldn't connect to Xbox Live for like 4 hours..
This seems to have hit just after my group started playing the Outriders demo, looks like we was lucky
It's irritating when this happens but... go do something else? Or at least that's what I do.
I have the Switch, I have books, I have comics, I have subscriptions to more streaming services than I care to mention.
Meh. Came home, couldnt sign on, checked connection, shrugged shoulders, went to the ps4.
The xbo is where I go, but it's nice to have a backup.
@PhhhCough Yup I was just playing some PC games yesterday and some PS4. Could have played some offline Xbox but I have plenty of other options.
It gave me time to work on some Miles until it came back up. Weirdly when it did come back up the first thing I went to was the Balan Wonderworld demo. OMG that game is so terribad. I feel bad saying it. I want Naka to succeed. But OMG it's just so terribad. How is that releasable? Then played Deus Ex Human Revolution for a bit. Why am I playing 10 year old games I already mostly played on a brand new console. What is wrong with me?
@VenomousAlbino you’ve pretty much stated my immediate thoughts. Never understood the outcry. Surely people have other things to do. 🤷🏾♂️
@NEStalgia I know right! It's the worst thing I've played in ages.
@outsider83 yeah, it's bewildering that people can't find ONE other thing to do for a few hours.
