Itch.io appeared to be down for users on July 31, Friday night. The platform allows independent creators to host, sell, and download indie video games, tabletop role-playing games, game assets, comics, and music.
At the time of writing, Downdetector logged nearly a thousand complaints from people using the platform. One wrote “cloudflare errorscreen, host error, code 521. i had plans!!!! sigh!!!!,” sharing the errors they were getting.
Many took to X to complain about the Itch.io outage as well. Itch.io is yet to comment on the outage. Currently, a time for when services will resume is not known either. Even going to the Status Page of Itch.io shows a error code 521, HT.com could verify.
(This is a developing story)
