The Microsoft Xbox support page has been updated to reveal the problems currently affecting Xbox One and Xbox on Windows.

"Hey Xbox members, are you having trouble creating or joining your multiplayer sessions? We are aware of this issue and are working to get it fixed right away!" the official Microsoft message reads.

"Thank you for your patience while we work. We’ll post another update when more information becomes available."

Current Xbox One social and gaming issues:
In-game matchmaking
Cloud storage,
Finding friends
Game DVR,
Leaderboards
Avatar editing

The outage started at around 7pm UK time and has meant many players have been unable to chat with friends while playing online.

The current error message being displayed while trying to use party function "801901f7" occurs when you try to renew your Xbox Live Gold subscription, according to the official Microsoft website.

The related help article is connected to changing your billing address and subscription details, rendering it useless for those currently affected.

This annoyed me and mates a lot.

My friends were having trouble with their XBL yesterday, so I suppose this explains it. I honestly wonder if we'll ever see XBL time given to make up for time that was lost/disrupted.

xBL4ZIN Happening often which is unacceptable


If that's the case then it's your internet connection and not Xbox LIVE. I've had no problems with LIVE in months.


I can recall at least 4 times over the past couple of months when xbox live has gone down for me and all my friends and its been acknowledged as being down on the live status page. 4 times in that period of time is far too often when it should never go down.
Not talking about cases where its only me that cant get on because that never happens.
