The breakout hit Titanfall has been experiencing server issues for the past three hours or so, and Respawn is saying that it is a result of the problems Xbox Live is going through.
According to Respawn’s official Twitter, the Xbox Live outage is keeping Respawn from allocating new servers to Titanfall. The account confirmed that this does have an affect on the PC servers, which are also down. Respawn said that the fix will come from Microsoft and that they company is among the millions waiting for Xbox Live’s gaming, social and website features to rebound.
Microsoft and Xbox One have been characteristically silent about the outages on social media, but the service status page does list some updates.
Here is the most recent post from the status page:
