Uh Oh, PSN Appears to Be Down

Urk

by Robert Ramsey Wed 1st Jun 2016

We should be enjoying a nice comfy bed instead of penning this super early morning article, but, as they say, there's no rest for the wicked. There are numerous reports flying around claiming that the PlayStation Network is down. We've tried logging in ourselves with no success, and there seem to be more complaints by the minute on social media.

Many users are being met with the infamous "the PlayStation Network is currently undergoing maintenance" message when attempting to connect, but as far as we're aware, there's no scheduled maintenance going on right now.

With any luck, this will just be a blip and everything will be fine once the sun comes up. In the meantime, do let us know if you're having any problems in the comments section below.

Update (12:00PM): Phew, it looks like it this morning's outage was minor, and the network's now running as expected.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

It wasn't just PSN that was down, the Nintendo Network was also down for a good half an hour at the same time here in the states...

@Tasuki Of course! Is the PSN back up? The Nintendo Network went back online a little while ago. Still it's strange that both the NN & PSN went down simultaneously. >:/
