Xbox 0x87DD0033 error code solution

The Xbox 0x87DD0033 error code occurs during a server outage or when experiencing a connection issue. Previously, the platform experienced a major outage in the Account and Profile section. Users weren’t able to log in until the Xbox Support page announced a fix. Thus, if and when there happens to be another one, you’ll likely need to wait until an update comes through.

You should also check on the current status of the game you’re playing. Sometimes, server maintenance periods can occur, as we’ve seen with Destiny 2. That said, it’s best to keep track of this on the Xbox Status page, which provides the current status of various networks and titles.

If the servers are running, you may need to check your internet connection. You’ll need to ensure that the connection is stable in order to clear up the 0x87DD0033 issue. Most online games, like The First Descendant, won’t allow you to play them unless you are signed into Xbox. So, you’ll need to clear up any internet issues beforehand to get it up and running.
