The gaming streaming platform Twitch experienced significant service disruptions on Thursday afternoon, affecting numerous users attempting to access the site. According to Down Detector, reports of the outage began surfacing around 3:30 p.m. ET, creating frustration for viewers who were hoping to engage with the platform during peak hours.
The timing of the incident coincided with the release of a major Grand Theft Auto VI trailer on Netflix, though there is no indication the two events are connected. Nonetheless, the outage prevented users from immediately gathering on Twitch to discuss the highly anticipated gaming announcement with the streaming community.
The service disruption generated substantial user complaints across social media platforms, with affected individuals taking to X to voice their frustrations about being unable to access Twitch.
