AWS down: An Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage caused widespread disruptions across a number of popular online games and digital platforms. Epic Games titles including Fortnite, Rocket League, ARC Raiders, and Fall Guys are experiencing login failures, matchmaking errors, and server connection issues, as are non-gaming services such as PlayStation Network and Steam.
SurveyAccording to Downdetector, over 4,000 US users reported AWS-related issues, with nearly 35,000 complaints specifically relating to ARC Raiders. Users on social media platform X reported that multiple services, including Rocket League’s Epic Online Services (EOS), are currently impacted. Fortnite players are reporting login issues and “Servers Not Responding” errors, while ARC Raiders users are experiencing ART00004 network timeout errors, which prevent server connections.

The outage extends beyond gaming. The Epic Games Store is experiencing purchase and redemption issues, and parts of the PlayStation Network are temporarily unavailable, affecting cross-platform functionality. Steam also reported hours-long outages during the incident.
While AWS has yet to issue an official statement, previous incidents indicate that server-side issues can take one to three hours to resolve. To avoid potential account flags, users should monitor official status pages, such as Epic Games’ status site and Downdetector, and avoid making repeated login attempts.
Just like everytime, social media is abuzz with people trolling Amazon Web Services by sharing memes and videos. Check out some of the best memes.

Previously, AWS faced a similar outage in October. It affected high profile platforms like Snapchat and Reddit. That disruption was linked to problems with AWS Domain Name System and network load balancers, which prevented applications from connecting to the DynamoDB API, AWS’s cloud database service.
