You are not alone, (Electronic Arts) EA servers are down for many and impacting gaming services including Battlefield 1, Battlefront 2, Star Wars and FIFA 18.

It is unclear whether EA is suffering cyber attacks or a technical glitch has caused the outage but in the holiday season gaming platforms are known for suffering service interruption due to a high number of online activity by gamers.

According to DownDetector, a service that keeps track of online platforms facing connectivity issues, the outage is affecting service all over Europe, the United States, Canada, Brazil, Australia, and some parts of the Middle East.

Moreover, several EA users on Twitter are also complaining about the issue. Here are some the tweets from EA users:

ALL platforms and ALL users are affected. It seems an authentication system issue. Origin is offline, it’s impossible to login to any https://t.co/0fO9fPp3y3 website. Shame on you. You get billion of dollars and a decent data protection system doesn’t cost too much
