Heads up: If you're a fan of Spotify, you might have noticed that the popular music streaming service is experiencing an outage this morning. According to Downdetector, a reliable source for tracking service disruptions, reports of Spotify outages started pouring in around 6 a.m. PT today. We at IGN have also been affected, struggling to access the service throughout the morning. Even when we managed to open the app, it refused to play any music.
Spotify has officially acknowledged the issue and is actively working on a solution. They've reassured users via their official status account on X, stating, "We are aware of the outage and working to resolve it as soon as possible." They've also debunked rumors suggesting that the outage was caused by a security hack, confirming those reports to be false.
