As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I can’t help but feel a sense of deja vu as both Xbox Live and PSN servers have gone down one after the other. It’s like we’re stuck in a never-ending loop of online gaming purgatory!
A single day after millions of players globally encountered issues with the PlayStation Network (PSN) server, Xbox users are now facing similar troubles, as their Xbox Live servers have experienced downtime.
On October 1st, the PlayStation Network experienced an extended downtime, preventing users from utilizing online functionalities for several hours. This predicament not only stirred annoyance among PS5 and PS4 owners, but it also spawned a barrage of humorous comments and internet jokes at Sony’s expense.
Initially, many ideas originated from the PlayStation community, yet even competitors joined the conversation. Fast-forward a few days, and the Xbox Live servers are experiencing outages as well, causing frustration among gamers.
Following the discovery of the problem, I found myself joining countless others in urging Microsoft to swiftly address this issue, expressing my eagerness for a prompt resolution.
A disgruntled player exclaimed, ‘Please fix your servers so I can play NBA 2K,’ as another lamented, ‘Xbox Live seems to be experiencing issues, preventing me from enjoying Rayman Legends on my Xbox Series X with my physical copy. It appears that contemporary gaming is facing challenges.’
Looks like xbox live is down FFS🤦♂️😡🤬

Players quickly noticed that Xbox Live experienced an outage shortly following PSN encountering a comparable issue. Some even found themselves continuously switching between the two platforms in order to continue gaming.
Initially, I had to use my PlayStation because the servers were offline, but now the Xbox servers are down too, so I’ll have to go back to using my PlayStation.
In a relatively brief period, both systems encountering downtime have sparked discussions about the necessity of being perpetually linked to internet servers, sometimes even for single-player games that have been purchased.
A user commented, “The first PlayStation servers are offline, and now Xbox is too.” They continued with frustration, “It seems having to sign in just to play the games we already own wasn’t such a brilliant idea… I really dislike this!
Others playfully suggested that this was a swift comeuppance or payback, perhaps symbolically, for those Xbox players who had previously made fun of PS5 and PS4 users when they experienced downtime.
