Xbox's online servers are down today, July 2, with some people reporting that they are having difficulty connecting to games and services on the platform.

After initially making no mention of it, the official Xbox server status website sign-in services are having a "major outage." With a server network as large as Xbox's, your mileage may vary, but many players are unable to log in. Microsoft's own game accounts have acknowledged the server troubles. "We apologize for the inconvenience," Microsoft said.

The Xbox Support account said Microsoft is "aware that some users have been disconnected from Xbox Live." The company said it is "investigating" the matter. Just after 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET, it provided an update in which it said the "investigation is taking longer than expected." There's no word on when Xbox Live servers will be back online.
