    Xbox Blamed by Players After Several Periods of Server Downtime

    Players have criticized Xbox after its servers have gone down over the weekend, which resulted in not able to boot games they already own.

    The tech support of Xbox recently reported the issues just recently. The first one was on May 6, 2022 and then on Saturday morning and evening. Players were unable to launch their games and play them via the Xbox Cloud feature.

    Many have complained on several social media platforms. Some big names have even done so including Xbox Presenter Parris Lilly. These players wanted transparency from Microsoft about its DRM policies.

    We’ve seen significant improvement to the issue that has prevented some users from purchasing and launching games. We expect full mitigation in the coming days with the roll out of a new update.

    No word yet if this will finally disable the DRM feature on Xbox consoles, but it is expected that it will happen when the update launches.
