Heads up: music streaming service Spotify seems to be experiencing an outage this morning.
According to IGN's sister site Downdetector, reports of Spotify outages started coming in around 6 a.m. PT today, and at the time of writing, the reports were still pouring in. We at IGN were also unable to access the service for much of the morning, and when we managed to get the app to open, it wouldn't play music.
Spotify has acknowledged the issue and is "working to resolve it as soon as possible." The company has also confirmed that the outage is not related 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.
