Sony has provided an update on X/Twitter – but not a particularly helpful one.
The main PlayStation account and North American support account both posted the same message, stating that “some users might be currently experiencing issues with PSN,” but there were no further details given beyond a link to PSN Service Status page, and there have been no messages since.

Open up any of those sections and you’ll see that the last update there was filed at midnight today – which I assume is midnight ET, so nearly 12 hours ago.
The fact that there’s been no change to the page since then suggests that this is a big problem – and one that may not be fixed for some time.
So what is Sony saying about it all? Not very much, unfortunately.
As you can see above, the official PSN Network Service Status page is a sea of red, with the rather understated message “Some services are experiencing issues” written above them.
The UK version of Downdetector tells a similar story – and indeed it appears to be a worldwide problem.
We first realized there were problems with PSN when Downdetector outage reports spiked at around 6pm ET / 11pm GMT yesterday.
The graph below shows the huge volume of reports on the US version of the site:
Hello and welcome to our PlayStation Network outage live blog. I wish I had good news to report but right now the service remains down.
