Since Friday evening, PlayStation Network has been experiencing a significant disruption, leaving many users offline. As of now, this outage has reached around 15 hours, marking it as one of the most prolonged unscheduled downtimes for a leading video game network. The impact is extensive, affecting various services such as account management, social interactions, the PlayStation Store, and more.
Despite the lengthy disruption, details about what caused the issue—or when it might be resolved—remain unclear. About 15 hours ago, the official AskPlayStation X account tweeted that they were aware some users were having problems accessing PSN, and directed users to check for more information. However, no further updates have been posted since.
For those trying to keep track of the situation, Sony’s PSN status page is a good resource, currently indicating that all services are still down. Additionally, Downdetector compiles real-time updates based on user reports. As more PlayStation enthusiasts try logging in throughout the day, the number of reported outages continues to climb.
