Xbox Live goes down again in the last few hours Could a cold snap or Xbox Live free weekend be the cause?

A few days ago we had news regarding Xbox Live. Microsoft's online gaming system was leaking and left users in the lurch with a bug that the company was quick to correct. A problem for all those who connected via Wi-Fi that could not be fixed Those who connected via cable only had to disconnect the cable to be able to be online.

It seemed somewhat punctual, a rare bird on the Microsoft platform that prides itself on being one of the platforms that offers the best experience.For many, being paid requires that the service provided is exquisite. However, hours ago the failure was repeated again….

While the first bug was resolved by simply rolling back a server update, since then the connection problems have been constant. Xbox Live has not been working normally and yesterday afternoon the service was affected by another outage.

Owners of an Xbox One have not been able to connect to the Xbox Live service Despite the fact that when performing the checks the system verified the correct connection to our network, the error persisted. Unable to access downloaded games, _online_ games or anything that depends on network connection.

"

A complaint that was quickly echoed on social networks and Microsoft had no choice but to come outwarning that a For those who encounter errors when trying to log in or access previously purchased content, our teams are aware and are working to identify the cause."

In the middle of the afternoon the connection was working again, but it had cuts Being in the middle of a game, even if it wasn't _online_ and seeing appear a message warning about Xbox Live connection problems was common. Problems continued for hours intermittently.

The reason? Some speak of an overload on the platform caused by a powerful release like Kingdom Hearts III combined with the cold weather in the United States Many users in front of their consoles connected. But it is also that this weekend access to the Xbox Live platform is free from February 1 to Sunday the 3rd. Any user can enjoy _online_ even if they do not have an active Gold account.

This fact may have been the missing point to overloading a system that perhaps was not prepared to handle so much traffic.A system that has always worked deliciously well and now presents problems, a fact that has caused complaints from users for not having access to Live despite religiously paying their fee.

Let's hope that in the next few hours Microsoft will definitively solve the problem and the errors that have been occurring in recent days will end continued.
