Xbox Live matchmaking and Achievements are down

Xbox Live is experiencing issues with social functionality and the earning of Achievements, Microsoft has confirmed.

The Xbox Live Status page says that players will find difficulty in “joining other Xbox Live members in online games,” while the Xbox Support Twitter account says that it has “identified an issue with Xbox Achievements.”

Of all the things to go down in a pandemic.

We’ll keep you posted as more is known. More often than not, issues with Achievements mean they’re earned but don’t pop until a later time; if you’re super paranoid about them, perhaps it’s best to put off your gaming session for a little bit.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
