We are aware that some users encounter errors when they start or join groups and our teams are investigating.

The Xbox teams are therefore on the spot to repair the bugs currently in progress and to resolve the problems linked to groups of friends as quickly as possible. If you are in this case then you just have to wait until the problem is corrected.

Here are the main problems encountered tonight on Xbox:

• Create new accounts on Xbox Live, manage those accounts, or recover an account on another device
• Join other Xbox Live members in online games

If you cannot play or see your friends online, this is "normal" since the problems are known and under investigation by the Xbox teams.
