Is IGN down right now?

ign.com — live status, response speed and SSL.

Is it down for everyone or just you?

The check above runs from our servers, not your device. If it says ign.com is responding but the site won't load for you, the problem is local. Restart your router, try your phone's data instead of wi-fi, clear your DNS cache, and switch off browser extensions one at a time.

Using IGN safely

The platform is legitimate. 'Free currency' and gift-card generators are always scams, and trade links sent by strangers are how accounts get stolen.

A full report adds a Trust Index, community reports and safer alternatives.
