The PlayStation Network has been experiencing an outage for an extended time. The said outage has already been going on for around 10 hours, as shown in the image above. This has led to a complete halt of all PlayStation Network services, as players cannot play online games.

Additionally, even account management has been affected, so players will be unable to log in or edit their accounts.

This outage has occurred at the worst possible time because the weekend just started. Players would have been eager to jump into some multi-hour gaming sessions, with their friends, however, this outage has put the brakes on those plans.

Why Is This PlayStation Network Outage a Big Deal?

The PlayStation Network is the backbone of any online activities connected with the PlayStation. If users want to buy any game, make an account, or even play online games, they must be connected to the PlayStation Network.

This entire network going down puts a halt on any of these basic activities, which will surely affect lots of players’ weekends.

However, there is a silver lining here. You will be able to play any offline games you already have downloaded. So perhaps consider breaking out an old game you haven’t played in a while.

When Can We Expect This To Be Resolved?

At the moment, there is no clear end to this outage. It has already been several hours since the outage started, and no confirmation has been received on when this outage will end. Moreover, complaints have already flooded social media, with players expressing their shock and disappointment over the situation.

You might want to know that PlayStation has acknowledged the issue on their North American Twitter Support handle. This tweet was sent out some hours ago, and the problem has still been persisting.

You can check the status of the PlayStation outage here. This site should be updated as soon as the outage is resolved, which is hopefully soon. This issue has not been restricted to just any one region but is a global one.

Players all over the globe have been left stranded by this outage, and we hope it will be resolved soon.
