The weekend was marked by problems connecting and accessing Xbox games and services. We discussed the breakdown when she arrived and things seem to be going better now. The good news is that the Xbox teams seem to have found something that will make things better in the future.
New Xbox update coming soon
In a message, the team of support Xbox said to have planned an update which will be deployed in the coming days.
We saw a significant improvement in the issue that prevented some users from purchasing and launching games. We expect full mitigation in the next few days with the rollout of a new update.
In an editorial published today, we deplored the fact that Xbox consoles were becoming virtually unusable when this type of failure occurs. Indeed, many players were unable to launch their games, including when their console was offline and with games already purchased.
It seems to be the DRM protections that are messing up the equation, and we hope that Microsoft can hear the message and evolve its systems so that games can be accessed offline on all occasions.
