We thought that Sony was on top of these PlayStation Network outages, but a major DDoS attack seems to have unsettled the firm's good run of form. The service is down again this morning, with the platform holder reporting that engineers are on the case as we type. Offline time has been kept to a minimum of late, so there's a good chance that everything will be back up soon.
In the meantime, though, you may have to make do with playing your games disconnected. It's frustrating, but we'll update you with more information as and when we receive it.

hopefully not to long
Glad to see my $60 going to good use on this service.
I wouldn't complain if I didn't have to pay for online multiplayer. I wish we got back to the ps3 era model. Or maybe just offer two prices: one multiplayer + freebie stuff and a lower one just for multiplayer.
Planned maintenance! 😂 nothing to worry about AT all!
it's planed maintenance, they announced yesterday on social media yesterday they would be doing it today
I love paying for a service I can't use
I always try and defend Sony when the network has issues but not going to bother any more. Worked for a very short time this morning then worked now not working yet again. No DOS attack this time just Sony being their usual selves.
The big problem for Sony is they are gonna pay through customers migrating back to Xbox and to a lesser extent Nintendo. The service isn't up to snuff. Upping prices and then your service crumbling every other day isn't sound.
Its getting a bit ridiculous as of late. Never mind
@get2sammyb Yout do realize there is no way to prevent a DDoS attack. It doesn't matter if you're Sony, MS, Blizzard etc. The only way to stop a DDoS attack is not to have servers.
@Tasuki I do know that, yes. It's everyone else that doesn't understand it.
@get2sammyb
Actually, people do get it. It doesn't make the service being down very often any more acceptable especially when you have to pay for it and it's an integral part of the console. I know nobody wants to admit it, but it's not a good look.
Why is it always just happening to PSN though? You never hardly hear it happening to Xbox or Nintendo.
@MaccaMUFC or maybe one of them are doing it. yes i agree, it's hardly a thing with them but PS always under attack.
@FullbringIchigo I call bull. I couldn't even start any of my digital games. It's out that the PlayStation was hacked 2days ago.
