Xbox series X is pretty useless without being able to sign in. Can't even watch Netflix, YouTube, or any other streaming apps. Not sure why they tie that to signing in.
I just tested this 2 minutes ago. I can start up and watch the Youtube app just fine on my XSX. Maybe not though if you're not the main/primary/home account. idk

edit: Unless you mean without actually signing into a console profile? Then yeah I imagine you can't.

I think you can play offline and do other stuff if your Xbox account is the home account, not entirely sure.

Mine must still be set to my series S then because I can't make a non online sign in. looking through the options to try and change it to my home console Very annoying 😡

Edit and I shouldn't be surprised at this but I have to sign in to check this. Will have to remember to do this later.

This is a sign for everyone to go to your local pawnshop to get a used Dreamcast and a copy of Grandia II. You'll probably also want at least one 32 oz. can of High Life. Hunker down and ride it out.
 
Possible expanation: The service providers of the majority gaming serves is having a technical issue


More likely explanation: Massive concidence
 
PSN status page shows no issues. I don't think down detector is good for this. if Xbox is down then all those other games will have people complaining as well only they don't realize it's xbox not the games. Xbox status pages shows there is issues.
 
Xbox is at like 4000 reports, PSN is at 20 reports. Seems to be an Xbox issue only. Odd since they have Azure, but maybe Azure is bad.

Yea down detector has never been a good source for stuff like this IMO. You just have random people submitting reports when it can just be 20 random people across the US with ISP issues. All major services like this have a status page, much easier to just check there.
 
And how many of these games are now playable? I'm asking because there are lots of "I have Internet" people here every time something requires always online that isn't necessary.
 
So i've been using my series X in the bedroom as a streaming box, today because xbox live is down you can't even go into Netflix or Plex because "I need to sign in to use this app".

Fucking A.
 
Status says there is a major outage with the sign in and I can't sign in.

Anyone else ?
 
On Reddit they're saying that if you set the console to offline mode you can play your games normally (as long as they don't have an online component, obviously).

I can't try it though, cause I'm not home yet.

Yep, that fixed it. Can even play GP stuff I had downloaded.

But why would you play your game offline in 2024?

Since as so many players kept saying "lol Don't you have internet in 2024?"

not directed at you,just all the idiots who constantly complain about people that want offline working games.

See morons? This is why! It has nothing to do with having internet or not

The Edge browser still works. Can you access those services through the browser? (I don't subscribe to either)
