The service has been down on the Xbox platform for a few hours and fresh reports continue to pop up on Twitter.

According to Disney+ subscribers, the service went down and has not been working for hours as it shows an error message saying ‘Something went wrong.’

Luckily, Disney+ Help has acknowledged the problem on Twitter and has confirmed that the team is working to resolve the issue that’s affecting Xbox devices over the past few hours.

While the team has not shared an ETA for the fix, we can expect it to be resolved sooner rather than later.

At present, it’s unclear why Disney+ is not working on Xbox devices. It could be that a recent update to the Disney+ app for Xbox could be to blame, however, it’s hard to say that for a fact.

That being said, we’ll keep tabs on the situation and will post an update if and when we get our hands on any further information.
