Spotify Outage Reported Globally

Author : Natalie Apr 22,2025

Attention all music lovers: Spotify, the popular music streaming service, experienced a widespread outage this morning. According to reports from Downdetector, a sister site to IGN, the issues started surfacing around 6 a.m. PT and have been continuously reported 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 any music.

Spotify has officially acknowledged the problem and is actively working to resolve it. The company has also debunked rumors circulating about the outage being connected to a security breach, confirming that such claims are untrue.

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.
