An issue with Amazon Web Services (AWS), the ubiquitous internet hosting service, took down many of the world's most popular online games in the early hours of Monday morning. Fortnite, Roblox, and Nintendo all reported that their services were unavailable.
A problem with Amazon's cloud-computing service disrupted internet use around the world Monday, taking down a broad range of online services, including social media, gaming, food delivery, streaming and financial platforms.
Fortnite, Roblox, Clash Royale and various other games and gaming services have been struck down by an "operational issue" with Amazon's web services today, though Amazon themselves promise that they're already seeing "significant signs of recovery".
A lot of people are facing the same problem today. Games like Fellowship, Palworld, and even the entire Roblox platform are down. But this time, it’s not the developers’ fault. The issue comes from an AWS outage – Amazon Web Services are currently unavailable, slow, or malfunctioning.
