Xbox Live is down tonight for many using Xbox One

UPDATE: The latest update from Microsoft on Xbox Live services confirms that downloading items that you have already purchased and using them, is the area worst affected tonight.

This has left many players unable to access their favourite games, meaning they can't play online multiplayer on titles such as Fortnite, Destiny 2 and Black Ops 4.

"We are aware that some members may be having problems finding previously-purchased content or purchasing new content. We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, and we will be sure to provide you with frequent updates."
