Is ‘Minecraft’ Down? Popular Game Servers Hit By Azure Front Door Outage

Minecraft's servers went offline due to a broader outage affecting Azure Front Door, which also impacted other gaming platforms like Xbox and services such as Microsoft 365 and Outlook. Microsoft attributed the outage to an inadvertent configuration change and is working to resolve the issue by halting all changes to Azure Front Door services and reverting to the last known stable state. The timeline for complete restoration is uncertain. This outage follows a recent significant Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage that affected various games and websites. While Minecraft is down, players can explore alternatives like Terraria, Creativerse, Vintage Story, Colony Survival, Eco, Valheim, Subnautica, The Forest, No Man’s Sky, Don’t Starve Together, LEGO Worlds, Dragon Quest Builders 2, Portal Knights, and Trove.
