"couldn't sign you into xbox live, please try later" when trying to launch microsoft flight...

Hi Rayaan, I’m Ryan. Are you still experiencing this issue? Is flight simulator the only game where the error occurs? You’re correct, there was indeed an outage earlier affecting Xbox Live and Microsoft Teams. For some reason this was specifically in the UK and Germany, but there were reports elsewhere too. Microsoft says it was because of an unexpected significant increase of network traffic. Here to help.

Hello Ryan,

Yes, the issue persists, I'm still not able to launch any game (that comes with xbox gamepass ultimate which I have active)

When I launch a game, it tries to log me into Xbox live and then shows the error i was talking about(0x80070520)

Unfortunately, I don't have any further troubleshooting to offer. There are many knowledgeable users active on the forum and I hope that someone else can offer further insight on your issue.

Thanks

Brilliant

Hi. My name is Brilliant, an independent advisor, happy to assist you today. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue: 1. Check Xbox Live status: Visit the Xbox Live Status page to check if there are any known issues with the service. 2. Check your network connection: Ensure that your PC is connected to the internet and that your network connection is stable. 3. Reset game to factory settings. 4. Uninstall game > Restart machine > Install game. I hope this helps.

Did everything that you've specified, still hasn't changed a thing, the error's still showing up

Edit-I just checked "Downdetector", people have reported problems with xbox live on the website, I guess the official microsoft xbox status page hasn't got what I needed to know

Okay, thanks for confirming. Try the advice in the marked answer in this thread:
