(NewsNation) — Microsoft says an outage is knocking online services like Xbox, Minecraft and 365 products offline.

The tech giant announced the connection issues with its Azure cloud computing service in a post, noting that customers “may have experienced issues resulting in latencies, timeouts and errors” starting around 12 p.m. ET.


The company said it was working to address these disruptions, and said some users may have already started to see improvement, but did not provide an ETA for when all services would be restored.

Downdetector shows fewer reports of 365 product disruptions, but Minecraft and Xbox outage reports remain elevated.

This outage comes days after an Amazon Web Services outage knocked out a number of websites from The Associated Press to Snapchat.
