Xbox and PlayStation online services have been suffering technical problems, amid claims a hacking group has disabled their services.<\/p>\n

Microsoft and Sony – the companies which make the games consoles – have told customers they are aware of issues affecting their online services.<\/p>\n

A hacking group called Lizard Squad is claiming to have caused the problems.<\/p>\n

Microsoft and Sony have not commented on the claim, but both said they were fixing the issues.<\/p>\n

Just before 21:00 GMT, PlayStation’s official Twitter account posted: “We are still looking into the PSN (PlayStation Network) issues reported earlier. Thanks again for your continued patience today.”<\/p>\n

A message on Xbox’s website says: “Hi Xbox members. Are you having a rough time signing in to Xbox Live? We’re working to get this figured out right away.<\/p>\n

“Keep trying to sign in when you get a chance. We’re grateful for your patience, and we’ll be sure to loop you in on our progress in 30 minutes.”<\/p>\n

‘Worst Christmas ever’<\/span><\/p>\n

Ros Bruce, from Essex, said her 10-year-old son got an Xbox One for Christmas, and he and a friend had spent weeks planning what games they would play together online.<\/p>\n

She said they had been downloading a game since 09:00 GMT – and by 23:40 it was still not ready.<\/p>\n

“He has spent most of the day in tears,” she said.<\/p>\n

“He says it’s been his worst Christmas ever.<\/p>\n

“I think Xbox should compensate us all.”<\/p>\n
