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
