Independent outage monitor Down Detector has received a surge of Xbox Store down reports this afternoon.

The Down Detector outage map says Xbox Store users in the UK, Europe and US are mainly affected.

As the Microsoft Store issues hit the phrase ‘Xbox Store’ started to trend on Twitter as Xbox fans reported issues with the service.
