EA DOWN UPDATE 1 -

Ironically, depending on whether you find this funny, EA's UK own help site is also down right now and not accessible.

Any attempt to visit the site, perhaps for anyone attempting to find out why their beloved EA Games are not working online, are greeted with errors as the page times out.

And as you might imagine, it's made some users even more frustrated by the EA outage, with one player yelling into the Twitter void:

"EA website down also. Typical, I can't even lodge a complaint!"

For the time being, EA Help hasn't been able to offer any further info as to why the game servers are not working or when they might be fixed.

So for now, stay tuned for more info as we get it...

EA DOWN UPDATE 1 - Electronic Arts servers appear to be down around the world at the moment and that's bad news for any FIFA 19 or Madden 19 players currently.

The good news is that EA has confirmed that they know about the current outage and are working to fix it as soon as possible.

Writing on Twitter the EA Help Twitter account told fans:

"We're aware of connectivity issues affecting players at the moment and are working to resolve them. Thank you."

From what has been shared online, it appears this could be worldwide outage, and not just something creating problems in Europe.

Independent website Down Detector has also registered thousands of reports of services for EA, Origin Access, FIFA 19 and more games not working.

It’s not clear at this time what has caused the server problems, or how long they might last.

It's certainly not for any scheduled maintenance.

Stay tuned for updates and refresh the page for the latest info.
