The most possible or plausible reason for you to be seeing the following Xbox Error Code 0x87de0017 message would be an issue at the server end.
What many users as well as Xbox’s official support page had claimed in the past, was that the following error had shown up as a result of a DDOS attack done on its servers.
Hence, if that is the case. Then, there is actually nothing much you can do out here, than to rather just wait it out, till the problem gets resolved at the server end itself.
You can try out the general troubleshooting solutions such as power cycling your devices, resetting your network, updating drivers and so on. But, to be honest they hardly seem to work in cases where the issue arises from the server side.
Fixes For Xbox Error Code 0x87de0017
Fix 1: Call MS online Customer Support
However, one particular user in a forum I had visited claimed that calling up the MS online help desk and asking them to solve the issue helped solve the error.
Hence, you too can try calling up on the MS online help desk, and see if they can help you solve the issue as was the case for the user in the screenshot above.
Fix 2: Check Server Status
Just to be sure that other users are facing the same issue as you. And that, you are not the only one prompted with the following Xbox Error Code 0x87de0017. You can also try looking up the server status on Xbox’s official live server page or third-party websites like downdetector, for any kind of server related outage problems or issues.
Doing this should give you a fair idea of whether the problem is arising due to a server issue globally or regionally.
Fix 3: Try a VPN app
If the issue is regional and the error is only limited to your particular region or country servers. Then, switching to a different server or region might help you get around the particular error, allowing you to play your favorite Xbox games online again.
For this, you will need the help of a VPN app or service. And, if you are currently not using one. Then, you can try out any of the following VPNs such as Nord, ExpressVPN, SurfShark, CyberGhost and so on, to switch your location to a different region and check if that helps get rid of the following error.
In such cases, it is usually best to use a premium VPN than a free VPN app. Since, free ones come with limited features and are not very ideal for playing games online as it can give lags or interrupted connections.
Hence, if you can, it is better to opt for a paid VPN and avail a better and smoother gaming experience while playing online.
