Digest more
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".
More than 1,000 companies had 6.5 million reports of disruption, including Snapchat, Reddit, Roblox and Lloyds bank.
The outage at Amazon's cloud-based web services knocked out major sites like Hulu and Venmo, plus Amazon.com itself. But most websites are back online now.
Amazon Web Services is working again, after breaking half the internet and taking many prominent video games and services with it.
