Whoa, just when we were complaining about today's severe lack of news, we get flooded with reports that the PlayStation Network is down. As far as we can tell, Europe's being hit the hardest, but there are also complaints that it's struggling in North America, too.
If this is indeed some kind of outage, then this will be the second time that Sony's network has gone down this year. Not exactly a stellar start to 2016, eh?
Are you having trouble signing in? Give us the details in the comments section below.
Update 19:00PM GMT: It would appear that the PlayStation Network is back up and running for most users, ourselves included. Glad that didn't last too long.

It was fine for me this afternoon when I was, erm, working from home...
It's been fine for me all day also online right now playing DMC4, usually when there is network problem's some of the PS4 features don't run right but it's all fine for me.
well according to the service status site everything is fine (at the time of posting)
@FullbringIchigo Too quick for me there mate, was going to say the same thing lol
It's not letting me sign in as of right now and in I'm Wisconsin
Daytona Beach FL down for "maintenance "
Wow yeah over 4000 reports on downdetector (http://downdetector.com/status/playstation-network)
Just had a look at the blog. No news but they're doing Vote to Play again.
Not great. A bit like choosing the most fragrant turd.
I was just about to use the division beta code I got and it's down for "maintenance" in Canada…
Out for for me in Essex. Got the week off too. Managed to finish batman today, wanted to get a few goes on cod before the map packs tomorrow. Looks like I'll be playing one of my extensive back log. Which is not the point I pay to play what I want when I want. And I don't like the fact I have alternatives being an excuse for poor service.
Someone phone the emergency services PlayStation is down I am sure they will be happy to help
Yup, it isnt working for me either.
Ahhh just when I thought I'd give Fallout a break to play some Chivalry or Star Wars Battlefront it goes down... I'll give it a try anyway.
@Johnnycide Hardly, Broforce and Assault Android Cactus reviewed well on PC but apparently not good enough for us console players.
And for anyone else moaning about the service, it's been only an hour, get a hold of yourself. Play an offline game instead, I know I'm a genius.
Tried to play need for speed in the U.S. and got a message saying PSN was under maintenance. It's my day off and I wanna game damn it.
I've been playing Borderlands all day but the very moment I my friends came online for some Rocket League it went down 😔
It's not gone down for me.........yet, i've ben playing alot of Divinity original Sin so i'll just play that if it go's down.
I'm flying off the handle, I'm flying off the handle. Hopefully I'll be able to enjoy a casual session of BOps III later tonight, if not I'll have to settle for a ton of other games I own, poor me.
Not a big deal for me... I probably won't have any free time to get on my Playstation 4 anyways. School, work and hitting the gym has drained all of my free time.
@TheLastLugia
If that was true a ton of people wouldn't be online as I type this.
Aww and was dreaming about cashing my second free day of ps plus this year.
We should get this lass on the case, she'd do us gamers proud

Its been OK for me today. Started playing at around 2pm UK and played until 7pm online in BO3 (trying to take advantage of the double XP) and didn't have a problem getting into matches or with the matches themselves
@kyleforrester87 I used to love getting the whole choc kitkats I was happier than if I got the normal version.
@TheLastLugia Thank you for your opinion but it's not needed here. If a comment is deleted please don't repost it thanks.
@dryrain that's the spirit, next time PS is offline use that time to plant a tree
@Tasuki well at least you've told me now, and now that I know that pointing out the negatives about Sony leads to deleated comments I can avoid this site like the plague.
Oh and hey it's you from NintendoLife, the guy who said Nintendo dropped dead the moment they got competition. You've still not got back to me on that one FYI
Fine in Ireland all evening
@TheLastLugia No we encourage criticism after all to think Sony is perfect would just be crazy. It's just how you go about it. Basically posting something to get a reaction from people and then firing back like you did. That's not cool around here.
Feel free to use the contact form down below to discuss this. -Tasuki-
