Attention all music lovers: Spotify, the popular music streaming service, experienced a widespread outage starting around 6 a.m. PT today. According to Downdetector, a sister site of IGN, reports of the outage have been pouring in consistently since the early hours. Our team at IGN also encountered difficulties accessing the service throughout the morning. When we managed to open the app, it frustratingly refused to play any music.
Spotify has officially acknowledged the issue and is actively working to resolve it as quickly as possible. The company has also debunked rumors circulating about the outage being linked to a security hack, confirming these reports are false.
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.
