Worldwide, servers of various games have gone down on Steam and elsewhere. Users can no longer access Amazon, Snapchat, Canva, and also games like Fortnite and other titles on Steam.
Why are so many services affected? On Monday morning, many internet services globally went offline. Users can no longer access websites like Amazon and Canva, nor can they launch games like Fortnite and other Steam titles like ARK: Survival Evolved.
The reason for the server outage is likely a disruption at Amazon AWS. Amazon AWS is one of the largest server providers, and many popular services rely on this infrastructure. Due to a disruption at Amazon AWS, so many services are offline at the same time because they all depend on the same data centers. When the services will be back online and how the maintenance is progressing is currently unknown.
