This is a helpful PSA from us to let you know that PSN is currently down. In fact, PSN has been down for over 12 hours now without an update as to when this will be resolved.
According to Downdetector, PSN has been suffering from an outage since at least 3pm PST/6pm EST. The PlayStation Network Service page also shows that all services, from sign-in to gaming to the PlayStation Store are all down.
In a tweet, Sony said it was “aware some users might be currently experiencing issues with PSN.” Sony has not made an additional update to this post.
It’s unclear when services will resume for PSN, but the outage means that this weekend begins without access to some of your favorite games including Marvel Rivals, Call of Duty, Fortnite, and more.
The situation was bad enough that publishers warned their players about the downtime. NetEase, the company behind Marvel Rivals, told its community via Discord that “due to PlayStation server’s emergent issue today,” PlayStation users might have difficulty launching games, apps, or network features. “We are actively communicating with the PlayStation team and will restore the game once we receive a solution plan from the PlayStation team,” NetEase continued.
“We apologize for any inconvenience and will notify the community through official channels once the issue is fixed. Thank you for your patience and understanding.”
We’ll have an update for when services resume. In the meantime, no other platforms are reporting outages so it appears specific to PSN.
