Spotify Outage Alert: Service Down
Heads up: music streaming service Spotify experienced an outage this morning.
According to IGN's sister site Downdetector, reports of Spotify outages started around 6 a.m. PT and continued to flood in throughout the morning. Our team at IGN also faced difficulties accessing the service; even when we managed to open the app, it wouldn't play music.
Spotify quickly acknowledged the issue and assured users they were "working to resolve it as soon as possible." The company also debunked rumors, confirming that the outage was not related to a security hack.
We are aware of the outage and working to resolve it as soon as possible. The reports of this being a security hack are false.
