Why is Xbox Party Chat not working?
Microsoft is aware of the issue and tweeted that it should now be possible to play Sea of Thieves, but without speaking to the rest of the queue. Whoops, Sea of Thieves solo players are finally victorious! There doesn’t seem to be a timeline yet as to when we can expect services to return to normal, but they’ve been down for quite a while, so hopefully a resolution is near.
We're still currently investigating issues affecting Party Chat, and in-game chat for Sea of Thieves. You should now be able to play Sea of Thieves without issue. Thanks for sticking with us, we'll continue updating you here and on our status page. https://t.co/PzAdjUFMJj https://t.co/rNUWxTwAtm
