I downloaded Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition on Steam and wanted to play online with friends, but every time I click the Multiplayer button, AoE says "Signing into Multiplayer Services", and nothing happens. How can I sign into these services or make the game work?

  • You may have better luck getting good answers with more accurate tags. Age of Empires Online is an old game, it's not AoE2:DE. Accurate tags are important because it helps people find questions they can answer.

    I proposed an edit earlier to change the tag to AoE2:HD, because AoE2:DE does not exist yet. (I don't have enough rep to create it)

AoE2 DE employs a battle server that relies on XBOX service meaning you need an Outlook account to join the multiplayer dedicated servers.

Additionally windows 10 is the minimum requirement system to run the game.

Once signed up an outlook account..

Run AOE2 through steam and top right window press: Xbox Live Sign In

sign in age of empires 2 definitive multiplayer

Insert your outlook email and password Then hit Let's Play!
