Why are so many games and apps down today? Amazon’s having a rough time. There’s a major AWS outage going on.
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.
It looks like Amazon Web Services (AWS) is having a rough day. A major outage is currently hitting the US-East-1 region, and it’s causing chaos across the internet. According to multiple reports, tons of popular platforms that rely on AWS are being affected, including Fortnite, Roblox, Snapchat, and plenty of other apps and online services. Users have been flooding Downdetector as the issues continue to spread.
The exact cause of the outage hasn’t been confirmed yet, but AWS says its engineers are on it. They’re working to stabilize things and figure out what went wrong behind the scenes.

For now, all we can do is hang tight and wait while Amazon works to get everything back up and running.

Been with gamepressure.com since 2019, mostly writing game guides but you can also find me geeking out about LEGO (huge collection, btw). Love RPGs and classic RTSs, also adore quirky indie games. Even with a ton of games, sometimes I just gotta fire up Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley, KOTOR, or Baldur's Gate 2 (Shadows of Amn, the OG, not that Throne of Bhaal stuff). When I'm not gaming, I'm probably painting miniatures or admiring my collection of retro consoles.
