This weekend has been far from being a long calm river on the Xbox teams’ side. In fact, many problems have disrupted the smooth functioning of the green brand’s various services. For example, many gamers were no longer even able to access their games, whether they own them or through Xbox Game Pass.
A solution on the way
If the situation has improved, all criticism regarding Xbox’s verification system has crystallized over the weekend. Even gamers who have listed their Xbox as their primary console could be affected by the issues. To overcome this, Microsoft teams say a fix will be deployed soon:
We saw a significant improvement in the issue that was preventing some users from purchasing and launching games. We expect a full mitigation in the coming days with the rollout of a new update.

We have seen significant improvements regarding this issue that has been preventing some users from purchasing and playing games. We expect a full solution in the next few days with the deployment of a new update.
However, we do not yet have any details about this update or its future impact on the checks that Microsoft services perform at the launch of each game. We will therefore have to wait a little longer to see if the problem returns during this time. Microsoft might consider a more permanent solution in the future since these types of system problems have already occurred in the past.
