Spotify Outage: Service Currently Unavailable

Heads up: If you're a fan of music streaming, you might have noticed that Spotify is experiencing some technical difficulties this morning. According to our friends at Downdetector, reports of Spotify outages started pouring in around 6 a.m. PT today, and the issues persist as we speak. We at IGN tried accessing the service throughout the morning and faced similar challenges—even when we managed to open the app, it stubbornly refused to play any tunes.

Spotify has officially acknowledged these disruptions and is actively working to get everything back to normal as quickly as possible. They've also debunked any rumors suggesting that this outage is due to a security breach, reassuring users that their data remains secure.

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.
