Xbox users can breathe a sigh of relief as the company is set to release a major bug fix to address the recent server outage issues that plagued the platform. The outage, which lasted roughly 20 hours, was caused by a licensing service that sits outside of Xbox, according to Xbox Chief Technology Officer Scott Van Vliet.

Van Vliet has been praised for his transparency in addressing the issue, and Xbox engineers have been working tirelessly to understand the root cause of the problem and prevent it from happening again in the future.
