| A second night of online issues appear to be on the cards for Xbox One and Xbox 360 users |
XBOX LIVE is currently down for select users on both Xbox One and Xbox 360, Microsoft have
confirmed.
UPDATE TWO: It appears Xbox Live's core services have been hit again by another DDOS attack, in cirumstances similar to last night's outage.
Fans are reporting issues playing downloaded games on their Xbox One and Xbox 360, while the official support service page currently lists issues with downloading purchased items.
"Are you having issues playing previously purchased content, Xbox members? We’re aware of the issue and we have our top engineers on the case," an official Microsoft message reads.
"We appreciate your patience while we work and we’ll provide an update as soon as we have more information."
Xbox One and Xbox 360 users saw key services knocked offline last night, with a new only group promising to cause more issues for gamers during the 2016 holiday season.
One user wrote: "Mines just gone down! It loads the start of the programme then cuts out and says server problems?! This is on BBC, Channel 4 and demand 5 won't work at all. Netflix and YouTube load for ages then crash."

UPDATE ONE: Microsoft say they are continuing to investigate the cause of tonight's outage and have added buying items, redeeming codes and downloading purchases as services currently affected.
Purchase and content usage problems have been listed on both the Xbox One and Xbox 360, with the official Microsoft support informing fans: "Are you running into issues purchasing certain content? Additionally, are you having an issue playing games and media you’ve purchased?
"We are aware of these issues and are working hard to get it fixed ASAP, we’ll post another update when more information becomes available."
It is currently unclear what has created the latest outage, with many fans hoping to avoid the chaos of the 2014 holiday season which saw both the PSN and Xbox Live hit by successive DDOS attacks.
