A major online services outage is affecting Fortnite, Arc Raiders, Battle.net, PSN, and more
If you're struggling to connect to an online game or service right now, this is probably the culprit.
We first noticed that the Arc Raiders servers were down this morning at around 10:30 am Pacific time, but that's not the end of it. Downdetector has seen a spike in reports from users who are having trouble accessing Fortnite, the Epic Games Store, Rocket League, Dead by Daylight, PSN, Xbox Live, Elden Ring, Battle.net, and many other games and web services.
The reports are now declining, so it's possible the problem was resolved quickly, but if you're having trouble logging into any of these services, you aren't alone.
One possible culprit is Amazon Web Services, the cloud infrastructure behind many of the world's online games and other systems, which is also a hot spot for user reports on Downdetector right now. Cloudflare has also seen a spike in reports, and suffered a big outage earlier this month.
No AWS outage has been reported from Amazon's official channels at this time, and the same goes for Cloudflare. We'll update this post as we learn more.
