As for the official Xbox Status page, it currently shows that “Store & subscriptions”, “Cloud gaming & remote play”, “Games and gaming” are having issues and are tagged as being “limited.”

Earlier today (at 12 p.m. or around 1 p.m. ET), Xbox Live servers went down, and it started with entertainment apps like Netflix, Hulu and the like:

Microsoft confirmed that entertainment apps seem to be sorted based on Microsoft’s tweet, online gaming and cloud gaming still having issues, though it eventually got sorted, here are the series of tweets:
