Microsoft is aware of the situation and has promised to give more information when they have it.

Within a couple of hours, the official Xbox Support Twitter account updated everyone, saying that they have identified the problem and are working on fixing it. There is no estimate on how long it will take to fix.

Xbox One owners took to the internet to see what the issues were, some explaining on Reddit and Twitter how they thought it was an HDMI cable problem or some other issue.

Nothing was working to fix the problem, of course, causing quite a few headaches.

Hopefully everything gets fixed soon. People need to game.
