Xbox Outage Disrupts Game Launches for Users
An Xbox outage has been affecting users' ability to launch certain games since last night, according to reports on July 27, 2026. The issue is preventing some account sign-ins and hindering gameplay both from physical discs and digital copies. On affected systems, while many owned titles could still be launched, Game Pass content was blocked with error messages like “Check back later” or code 0x87e107df, indicating a license verification problem. This outage follows a recent PlayStation 5 service disruption last week and comes amid reports of significant layoffs at Microsoft. The Xbox Live status page confirmed the issue began around 11 PM on July 26 and was still ongoing as of the latest update from @XboxSupport three hours before publication.
