The internet is facing another widespread disruption as Microsoft Azure, a major cloud service, is currently experiencing problems. Microsoft has confirmed the issues began earlier today and are affecting various Microsoft services and the Xbox network worldwide.
The launch of The Outer Worlds 2 has faced some problems, with Xbox players potentially unable to buy or install the game on either PC or Xbox consoles. This also impacts Xbox Game Pass subscribers. The developers at Obsidian Entertainment are collaborating with Microsoft to fix these issues.
Because of a current problem with Azure services, you might not be able to buy or install The Outer Worlds 2 on Xbox Series X|S, the Xbox app for PC, or through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass right now.

Around 4:00 PM UTC, we started seeing problems with Azure Front Door that caused some services to become unavailable. We believe this was caused by an accidental configuration change.
Microsoft is currently fixing a problem with its Azure Front Door service. They’ve stopped all updates to the service and are restoring it to a previous, working configuration. They’re also taking steps to prevent the issue from happening again during the recovery process.
Microsoft is working to fix the current outage, but they haven’t said when it will be resolved. This follows a similar issue last week when problems with Amazon Web Services (AWS) disrupted many online services and games, like Fortnite and Roblox.
Microsoft’s outage is impacting many businesses, with reports of major websites being unavailable. This comes at an inconvenient time for Microsoft, as they are scheduled to announce their financial results later today.
