Twitch is down for broadcasters and viewers around the world (udpated)

Update: Twitch is back up and running.

The world’s most popular game livestreaming site is not working at the moment.

Twitch is down, according to hundreds of complaints on social media. We tried booting up a stream of our own and got a “503 Server Unavailable” error. The errors were preventing people from both starting broadcasts of their own and watching others who managed to get livestreams going.

We’ve reached out to Twitch to ask what will happen, and we’ll update this post with any new information.
