After a week of frustration, ending with a law suit. It seemed XBL was back up. But, now new reports are coming in that XBL is down again. The official Xbox.com site reports that:
Users may experience issues performing transactions dependent on Windows Live ID availability including but not limited to Xbox 360 account creation, renewal, recovery, and logging into or creating Windows Live ID accounts. We are aware of the issue and actively working toward a resolution. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Or in simple English, the service is down again.
"Back in the innocent days of 2010, A World of Keflings was a fairly popular successor to A Kingdom for Keflings. I even wrote about it a few times in 2012! But the world of humans moved on, and NinjaBee's city-building/adventure game was last seen on the ill-fated Wii U in 2014. Fast-forward to the dark year of 2025, and not only is A World of Keflings coming to Steam, but there's already a playable demo! Perhaps the cheerful, no pressure gameplay that the Keflings bring is just what we need nowadays," says Co-Optimus.
It's been officially over 2,500 days since The Elder Scrolls 6 was revealed, and fans are still waiting for more than a logo and a mountain range.
It will come out in another 1000-2000 days or so. I’d rather they remake Morrowind. After they added quest arrows, sprint button, making stats lesser and the big nerfs to spells Elder Scrolls has been too simplified. They could change that with ES6 but I don’t have much faith in modern Bethesda. I would love to be wrong
Xbox Game Studios' Halo: Combat Evolved Remake is reportedly planned to release in late 2026 to celebrate 25 years of Xbox.
No official update on anything?
They replaced studio leadership
They changed the studio name
They announced the change to UE5
... all while supporting Infinite
The support to Infinite isn't what it originally should have been but they've still been providing tons of official updates over the years, and as recently as two months ago added a brand new weapon.
I think remaking Halo Combat Evolved, and going to 2 and 3 again, will help give the studio an idea of how to make a Halo game feel like Halo again
Infinite did feel like Halo, that's not what the complaints were...
The complaints were almost literally everything else. Monetization, netcode and desync, the campaign structure, story, and single biome, the weaker-than-expected post-launch content.
Dev times in modern days 4 years of silence isn't unheard of when things are running smoothly.
And around 6 months ago 343 did show a tech demo of ue5 using halo assets so it's not radio silence.
Given all the shake ups i am more surprised we're getting anything next year at all.
They coulda started with Halo 3 remake ... I know Halo CE remaster was not proper with the art style but still, remaking after a remaster seems dull, when Halo 3 and Reach have started to show some age.
Yeah I hate they used Halo reach artstyle. Hope this remake feel authentic yet fresh
Probably the simplest to work around with. They are reportedly doing it in UE5, so its just as much an Anniversary thing, as its probably the studio getting familiar and setting up their tools and processes in the engine with an actual game, to facilitate the development of the next Halo
I'm guessing combat evolved has a smaller scope in general the later half of the game features a ton of backtracking and reused assets making it a easier game to remake on a deadline
Its also a better choice if this is the first game to be multiplatform mind you I think it's pretty much a given that anyone with a passing curiosity has played this by now in some way be it pc or brought a used console for a few bucks
I would love to see Lost Odyssey come over to PS5. I would definitely buy that again. That was the first game that I played on my 360. Loved the story and battle system. One of the best JRPGs of all time in my opinion.
Awww it's true..just tried it. I didn't want to approve since it's not a real article though.
Edit: sigh* fine fine...
they better be putting some thing big on live, or it's another free game microsoft owes
sad, i really am not interested in playin the dang thing anymore, knowing it could be down, i go check the support page everytime just to check the status, sad just sad.

Has anyone else seen the ???'s in your friend's list or recently played with list? Just wondering, cause it looks really sketchy. The virus theory may have something to it...
http://forums.gametrailers....
Can anyone confirm this? I doubt there can be a virus in XBL since it's a closed system.
@Marceles
Yeah, lol.. I guess some people are a little more paranoid then others. xD
@HuntTheWumpus
The Xbox 360 was moded .. Hardware / Software 6 months after it released. Where have you been? But I doubt any code could be passed between the consoles etc.. Again, this isn't my theory or anything. So, stop with the DISAGREES.
