Sony has confirmed reports that, on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, users are having trouble accessing the PlayStation Network. Namely, the Japanese giant's official PSN Status website lists issues with gaming and social features, PlayStation Video, and the PlayStation Store. A direct quote from the company:
- You may be experiencing issues related to launching games, applications, and/or social features such as trophies, messaging, or friends list. We appreciate your patience while we address this.
- You may be experiencing issues related accessing Video Unlimited content. We appreciate your patience while we address this.
- You may be experiencing issues related to features on PlayStation Store. We appreciate your patience while we address this.
Quite frankly, this has reached a point where the humour is lost to us. Sony has been notorious for its poor job at keeping its online services up - so poor that a campaign was launched to improve it, in fact - but there comes a time when you really do sit back and wonder: how is this even possible? Of course, we'll keep you updated as it comes back online. Feel free to grab a seat in the comments below.
Update (10:48 PM BST): The PSN Status page is now saying that all services are back up and running. No more problems on our end, but how about yours? Let us know in the comments.

Really? I've been playing online for the last couple of hours.
They really should have a grip on these issues by now though this I getting beyond silly
Jokes. On the bright side I hope it happens a good few times mores in quick succession, they are more likely to improve it then.
If I've not been playing Splatoon, Sm4sh or MH4 I've been playing P4G (So many 4's) so not to fussed it is down but Sony really need to sort it out as it is happening far to frequently.
Not had any such issues. I must be really lucky because I've never been hit by any of the reported outages since getting my PS4 at launch. All I can say is good work Sony and sorry to you guys who are being hit.
it will be a news story when it's actually running smoothly soon 😂
Yeah, I didn't actually have any issues tonight. Glad it's working for everyone again, though.
-_-
Don't always get what you pay for.
I've had no problems at all
Thankfully I don't play my PS4 online hardly ever.
Nice to see my favorite picture back again. That made my day.
Instead Only Sony, they better say Only Offline.
4 the gamers, but only when you don't need to be online. They have lots of maintenance, what are they doing when it's still not working fine?
@Kohaku
"maintenance" seems to be Sony's standard customer service double-speak for broken (or dos attack). Companies don't seem to be able to be honest with their paying customers any more.
"It only does...what Xbox LIVE does nowadays to"
Allways make sure you have a backup single player game to go to
