by Lily May 13,2025

Heads up: Music streaming giant Spotify encountered a widespread outage this morning, leaving many users unable to enjoy their favorite tunes. According to data from Downdetector, reports of the Spotify outage began surging around 6 a.m. PT today. Our team at IGN also experienced difficulties accessing the service throughout the morning, and even when we managed to open the app, it refused to play music.

Spotify has officially acknowledged the issue and is actively working to resolve it as quickly as possible. The company has also debunked rumors suggesting the outage was due to a security hack, confirming that such claims 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.
