Gamers faced connectivity challenges today due to an Amazon Web Services outage that impacted various online platforms, including popular fighting games. Both Arc System Works and SNK experienced disruptions, preventing players from accessing online features in their titles, notably ギルティギア ストライヴ.

Arc System Works officially confirmed that their network issues have been resolved, restoring access to all game functionalities. SNK also announced the resolution of restrictions on their services, though they did not specify which titles were affected. Other fighting games, like ストリートファイター6, remained unaffected as they utilize independent servers.

The outage’s effects rippled beyond the gaming world, impacting numerous applications and services including Fortnite and Zoom. Thankfully, Amazon reported that all services returned to normal by mid-afternoon, underscoring the fragility of our online infrastructure dependent on major providers. Gamers can now dive back into their favorite titles without interruption!
