PlayStation Network outage keeps some players from verifying PS Plus or launching games

Players are experiencing a number of issues with the PlayStation Network right now, affecting the PS Store, PS Now cloud gaming services, as well as any games, apps, or features that require a network connection. PlayStation’s status page currently says “some services are experiencing issues” and notes that problems began at around 8:30AM ET this morning.

According to Sony’s message, the outage is affecting all platforms, including the PS5, PS4, PS3, PS Vita, and the web. Its status page says the company is currently working to resolve the issues rippling across its online services. Some players are also reporting issues with their PS Plus subscription and are receiving errors when trying to launch games or access cloud saves. It’s unclear whether this has anything to do with the just-released system update for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 systems.

The problem doesn’t seem to be affecting everyone, as some staffers at The Verge had PlayStation Plus errors while trying to play Elden Ring, but for others, things are working just fine.

PlayStation’s Japanese Twitter account also confirmed the network outage. “PSN™ (including PlayStation® Store) may not be available at this time,” a translated version of the tweet reads. “We apologize for any inconvenience caused to our customers. We are conducting an investigation and restoration work, so please wait for a while.”

There currently isn’t a timeline for when PlayStation’s services will be fully restored. The Verge reached out to PlayStation with a request for comment but didn’t immediately hear back.
