Microsoft said it is currently monitoring the performance and usage of the Xbox service.
According to official information from Xbox owner Phil Spencer, Microsoft sees "unprecedented gaming demand" from Xbox customers.
To this end, the company will closely monitor its services and increase global demand.
"I have said before that I believe games have the unique power to bring people together, entertain, inspire and connect with us, and I believe this is even more true in these unique situations." We all hope that the game can maintain a social distance with friends while keeping in touch with friends. We are now seeing unprecedented demand for games from customers.
"We understand the important role that games play in connecting people and providing joy in isolated and stressful moments, and our team is working hard to ensure we can help players. To this end, we will actively monitor performance And usage trends to ensure optimized services for global customers and adapt to new growth and demand. "
Spencer did not say whether Microsoft had to limit Xbox Live download speeds as Sony did in Europe.
Microsoft also announced that it has added a new "education" category to Minecraft because millions of children are at home due to school closures related to coronavirus. The content is free until June 30, and allows users to explore the International Space Station, learn to code, access DC landmarks, learn how to become a marine biologist, and more.
