It's been quite a while since the last PlayStation Network outage, so it's a shame that Sony's service seems to be experiencing issues right now. Here at Push Square, we can't sign in or access any related features on our PlayStation 4.
Of course, it's not just us – reports that the network is down are flooding in, and although Europe seems to be taking the biggest beating, North America is apparently facing some problems, too.
Are you having trouble? Keep us up to date in the comments section below.
Update (20:00PM GMT): Services appear to be running normally again here at Push Square Towers. That was quick and painless, eh?

Mines up and running has been all day.
This is absolutely ridiculous and I am so sick of PSN randomly going down. I don't care how long it has been since it last went down. Sony have had all year to get the service running as intended.
I will not be purchasing anymore games for my PS4 that require a network to play as it has been proven that PS4 definitely isn't the best place to play. From now on im only going to buy single player games on PS4 and I'll get Star Wars Battlefront and Call od Duty BO3 on my Xbox One.
Whats going to happen over Xmas when Lizard Squad decide to attack PSN again. I have zero faith in Sony regarding the PlayStation Network.
Great... I was looking to maybe play BO3 later if Double XP was starting.
@WARDIE To be fair, it's been much better this year. We were posting these articles weekly last year, but the last one we posted was in July - and still not everyone's affected.
Not saying it's anywhere near acceptable yet, but it is much better now.
We have been trying to sign in for other a hour trying all sorts of things until I just seen a friend post this on facebook we keep getting error code what ever it is will connect to the Internet but not psn
@get2sammyb While I agree that it has been alot better of late, it is still nowhere near as good as it should be. If it were still a free service I could understand, but its not. Its a paid for "premium" service that doesn't deliver anywhere close to the competitions service.
Sony really needs to get these problems ironed out asap otherwise we're going to have repeat performance of last Xmas.

That actually took a while
@WARDIE @get2sammyb and it's not like any other service doesn't go down either, XBL has trouble too,MS just never tell you it does
take last XMAS XBL was hacked too and went down and they never told anyone, in fact some of it's services are down NOW (only Demand 5 and IGN but still IGN hasn't worked for Months)
none of them are perfect in fact didn't XLB go down last week in some areas???
@Boerewors i would go out but it's 18:30 here it's cold and pitch black outside
18:56 Liverpool UK, working fine here. I've been watching stuff on YouTube and browsing the ps store.
@Boerewors where do you live? we've had storm Barnaby and winds of 80mph. The winds sideways and the rains smashing off the floor. I will play on my ps4 thanks my bbq would fly away and start raining sausages as well!!!! Live your life people. Eeeek.
No wifi in the wasteland
@themcnoisy
It was more meant as a poll where you can choose one of the 3 most heard comments when PSN is down. 1 is winning at the moment, but I also saw my favorite, answer 3, once.
All 3 aren't really relevant for people who have problems, but it's one of the funniest things to see online. Imagine seeing this conversation irl and not laughing:
Peter:"Ah sh*t, I'm having trouble walking because my knee hurts".
Carol: "My knee is fine, don't be such a cry baby"
It fine for me playing BO3 right now.
It's been fine for me on the PS4, although it was a little slow synching trophies. Is it all of the UK or just certain areas? I'm in the West Midlands.
@Boerewars It's cold, dark and windy outside. I think I would rather stay indoors!
@WARDIE As others have said, Xbox has down-time too, it's just not as widely reported for some odd reason. If anything, I appreciate Sony being forthcoming with info about their problems instead of trying to pretend they don't exist.
@Boerewors I've had a conversation very much like that before. I'm in the 10% of the population for whom cilantro tastes like soap and overpowers the meal entirely...but someone tried to tell me stop whining because cilantro is delicious. Just...ugh.
@Boerewors ahhhh I will put my divvy hat on. I agree entirely. Apart from the bbq lol.
@mookysam
Boerewars? What a difference one letter can make
Just move to the Southern Hemisphere where the weather is fine but the people are cold
I played for quite a few hours on Star Wars and Destiny, both online games and didn't have any issue with PSN - must be localised issues
@WARDIE I feel u buddy!! Too bad i've sworn allegiance to Sony nd have to remain loyal..
@WARDIE xbox live on the x1 is way way worse even when its not down it cant even keep simple things like friends gamer pics as showing up or how about they are so sad the leader boards they had were a mess always not updating and so they pulled out of the new interface .
psn is has issues also but they have improved over this year were the others have gone down . plus baby's like you just rant but your so small you never stop to think how hard it is to keep a system like this up running with out bugs and issues your just a spoiled child so sell your ps4 or xbox go buy Atari 2600 and you will be set and then we wont have to read these spoiled children comments.
also psn was not down at all in this region when i contacted in house support , so this article is just as bad as the clown reviewer that said he was a uncharted pro then wrote a write up on the demo of uncharted 4 but then he got a call from the devs after the article released saying its uncharted 2 remake he was playing and that was great because we need to get liars and stupid people out of places were they can have articles seen by the laymen. example some people still think xbox needs to be online 24 hours to play and no used games not everyone knows the news , false articles like this or ones like this that act like psn is world wide is a joke try saying a region because in NA it was not out (Canada ).
@godslayer1975 who the F do you think you're calling a baby you ignorant F. So im not aloud to rant about a crap service that I am paying for. Its people like you that have nothing better to do other than give others crap about there point of view.
If PSN is that hard to keep running then maybe Sony shouldn't be the ones running it. I've been gaming for a long time and I have never had so many problems.
By the way, I already own an Atari 2600.
