Xbox live is currently experiencing issues that prevent users from launching purchased downloadable games. “Try again in a while. Sorry, looks like our service isn’t working right. To check Xbox Live service status, go to https://support.xbox.com.”

A lot of people on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/9uumd1/servers_down/) are getting the message when trying to launch the digital version of RDR2. I see the message when trying to launch Dead Rising 2. I tried going offline, but DR2 still would not launch (Xbox Game Pass download). I’m having flashbacks of the “always online” Xbox One announcement lol.

Edit:

Seems to be resolved now (was successful in launching Dead Rising 2 game pass version). Regardless, issues like these with digital downloads are always worrisome when looking toward the future.
