Been looking into these "Xbox Game Pass restructure" rumors from Resetera with the team during BlizzCon, sorry it took a while.

All of Ed Sheeran’s openers have now withdrawn from the Looper Tour. Please realize how big this is. This is what unity looks like. Billionaires are terrified of people realizing how strong they can be when we come together for a cause. Continue speaking out. Support the new artists that are deciding to put their careers at risk to take this stance.

@JezCorden I can't help think that if GTA 6 is on cloud gaming they are protecting them selves for that as pc users could use that.

the Xbox + McDonald's collab in the UK has some wild marketing 🫨

@TowersStreet @ChessingtonBuzz @altontowers No they do offer a discount. I get it every time!

[Ryan Bowden @rybowden]

@CoasterQuestAmy I think they might even raise more. If you set the ticket to £10 or something. You only need 300 people with 1 ticket and you got £3k easily. @MerlinapUK @altontowers please do this in future!

Earlier today, many players began experiencing issues with sign in, enumerating their game libraries and playing games. The team has worked hard throughout the day to fix the issue, and we've restored service as of 2:30 PM PDT. Nonetheless, this is an unacceptable situation, and we must do better to support you.

Over the coming weeks, you'll hear more from me about our services, our platform, and the work we're doing to make XBOX better. And that starts with some transparency about this incident.

What happened. Late last night, a licensing service that sits outside of XBOX, but which XBOX depends upon, began failing. This caused some sign-in scenarios to fail, and it caused many scenarios that require an entitlement check to also fail, such as listing out your Full Library and launching games that you own. It also affected several of our publishing and store partners who depend on those same systems which is why some of you saw issues in specific games and not others.

What we did. Our on-call teams caught the first signals overnight through automated monitoring and declared a major incident. Once we isolated the failing infrastructure, we shifted traffic onto the healthy parts of the system while the team continued to work towards a root cause. Service came back unevenly across regions which is why some of you recovered hours before others.

What's next. We're running a full post-incident review. I care less about the one-line root cause and more about the real questions: why a failure in one service was able to take down this much, why recovery took as long as it did, and what we change so a single point of failure can't ruin your night again. That means hardening the dependencies underneath sign in and game launch, improving how we detect and contain this class of failure, and being faster and clearer with you when something breaks.

Thank you for your patience, and for the reports that genuinely helped us narrow this down. We'll do better.

@LilSophhh 😂 Yeah I have to keep cleaning it up.
