It is unclear what’s really going on right now but for the last couple of months, EA servers have been facing issues that block users from connecting and playing games. Previously, PoodleCorp hacking group claimed responsibility of carrying DDoS attacks on EA servers. In December 2015, “Phantom Squad” also ruined holidays for gamers with a massive DDoS attack on EA servers, however, this time it looks like more to be a technical issue than a cyber attack.
On 2oth October, EA servers faced similar connectivity issues forcing the servers to go offline for hours but no reason was stated by the company whatsoever.
Nevertheless, HackRead will keep you updated whenever EA servers are back. For now, here are some social media posts from users confirming the service is still down.
@AskEASupport I just logged on to PSN and tried to join a match on BF1 and kept getting sent back to the main menu while loading into game.
