Unable to Find Lobbies Issue (resolved)

Empire Builder · published 7 Aug 2026, 21:03 UTC · build 23498723

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

At or around 3pm EST users began reporting that they could not find lobbies or join lobbies with a code. We have confirmed this to be an outage with Microsoft's PlayFab service that we use to facilitate lobby creation and discovery. As far as we know, this issue is impacting many games that use Microsoft's PlayFab back-end services. We are working with Microsoft to fix the issue and will report back when it is resolved. As always, we thank you for your support and patience.

[Update] Microsoft has fixed the issue and it is now possible to find and join lobbies again.
