From doing a bit more reading, XBOX services DO run off Azure servers.Sounds about right. We use Microsoft CRM at work which has been running like shit too but it's a shit CRM so I take any problems with a grain of salt.
What I'm not 100% sure about is the regioning.
Initial MS cloud setups (inc Office 365) all ran out of Singapore.
Then I think it was 2014 Australia EAST was kicked off as an Microsoft Cloud region (colocated in Melb and Sydney), followed by Australia Central (located in Canberra) around 2017.
Pretty sure they aren't Microsoft owned DCs technically, but rather run out of Equinix in Syd/Melb/Canberra.
However that may not include XBOX services. If they aren't local they'll be running from Singapore.

Intended bandwidth up to 36 Tbp/sec (terabytes/sec) combined deployment.
