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 pour in throughout the morning. Our team at IGN also faced difficulties accessing the service, and even when we managed to open the app, it failed to play music.
Spotify has acknowledged the issue and is actively working to resolve it as soon as possible. The company has also debunked rumors that the outage was due 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.
