Here we go again: the PlayStation Network has fallen flat on its face at the time of typing, as the system spits out maintenance messages while we try to connect. A quick glance at the Twitter-verse reveals that we're not alone, though the UK does appear to be bearing the brunt of the outage right now.
We'll update as soon as we learn more. Hopefully this issue is resolved swiftly, because the network's been down too many times already in 2016.
Update (17:30PM GMT): Sony's saying that the PSN is online as per the service's status page. Some features are coming back online for us, but we still can't access our friends list or the PlayStation Store here in the UK. Let's hope that everything's resolved soon, eh?
Update (17:45PM GMT): We're connected again. Things seem to be running relatively smoothly now. We'll obviously keep an eye on things and update you if the issues continue.

It's okay, it's only Saturday night, Sony.
It's back already for me. Looks like that got fixed quick.
This is the first time an outage has screwed me over, I was on my way to extract on the last mission of a level 10 Helldivers planet with the reward being a tank, and me and my friend got booted
Glad to hear it's back up, was about to go buy my kid NFL Blitz in the Flash sale, he's on the way back from the oral surgeon w/ one less tooth, the least I could do.
Not fixed for me, been trying to do some Dark Souls co-op for a couple of hours, disconnecting constantly. Very annoying.
Had me scared there for a second I thought I was going to miss something double XP time on Black Ops III.
It hasn't gone down for me but could explain why the matches in BO3 have been very laggy and frustrating...
Dammnit Sony, Nintendo Networm does a better job of staying online and it's free! Sony really needs to improve online services, I'm considering dropping PSN entirely if this business continues
It is like-50c right not lol, playing ps4 is the least of my worries. So I don't mind lol.
@Tasuki
Is your Blops 3 multi player working like it should? Since the latest patch I'm experiencing lots of lag and this evening in particular the lagspikes make it unplayable.
@BAMozzy I had that happen to me last night as well especially in Kill Confirmed.
@Boerewors Last night around 9pm (PST) I had real bad lag to where it was hardly playable. It was going on for two hours until I just said F it and went to bed. I haven't tried it yet today cause I am at work for the next few hours.
never went down for me, guess i was just lucky
either that or it did and i just never noticed
@kyleforrester87 I genuinely feel for you there!
Didn't even know it went down been playing BO3 zombies, but it does explain why I got booted mid game.
Connected to GTA V Online this evening no problems her in the UK,
This messed me up, had a boosting session this morning n only got two trophies
