Since Friday evening, Sony’s PlayStation Network has been down. At fifteen hours and counting, PSN is experiencing one of the longest unscheduled outages of a major video game network. The outage is wide-reaching, including PSN’s account management, social features, the PlayStation Store, and more.
Yet information on the cause (let alone the fix) remains vague. Fifteen hours ago, the official AskPlaystation X account messaged, “We are aware some users might be currently experiencing issues with PSN. For more details: https://status.playstation.com.” The account hasn’t posted a message since then.
The PSN store outage can be monitored on Sony’s PSN status page. At the time of publishing this story, all features are marked as down. Downdetector also provides real-time status based on user reports. As the day goes on and more PlayStation owners attempt to sign on to their accounts, user-submitted outage reports are increasing.
