So much for sitting down and playing Destiny 2 on a lazy Sunday, eh? The PlayStation Network is down and out at the time of writing, with countless reports of users being unable to sign in on PlayStation 4. Sony is yet to comment, but if this keeps up, we're sure it wont be long until something gets said.
It's been a while since a PSN outage seemed so widespread, but the hope is that it comes back online sooner rather than later. As for our own experience, we're also unable to sign in to the network -- we were even booted offline while playing a game.
Are you having issues too? Give us a status report in the comments section below.
Update (15:30 BST): It looks like everything's back up and running. Phew!

Probably all the Destiny users.
At the same time though, and not looking at this in a trying to be rational way, this is the second time this month, though seemingly more widespread, and also the second time after a price hike, which is undoubtedly not a good image.
Happened to me but just for 5 minutes
I'm grinding out public events and haven't had any issues but the place is empty!!
Sony is pushing Pushsquare for all of their FFXV negativity.
Luckily I am all about the 3DS this weekend. I hope we get a free gift out of it!
Really? I'm fine and streaming atm
Haven't had any problems here all day. Also got 62 friends online. Not affecting everyone?
Just a reminder, I know this is upsetting as we probably had are hearts set on just veggin out on games today but please let's be calm and respectful in our comments. Thanks
@BLP_Software Did not have a problem both times. Even two minutes of offline gets reported here. 😀 😁 😂 🤣
It looks like everything's back up and running now.
It was down for me earlier
I went to the pub
DUHDUHDUH!!!!
@kyleforrester87 Did the pub have Destiny 2?
@ShogunRok yes actually, the footballs on and it's nothing but Destiny 2 adverts during the breaks
I was online and streaming all afternoon
Good thing FFX-2's Via Infinito has kept me offline on Vita for a week or so. I might weather out this early Destiny 2 boom. XD But sorry for everyone who got affected, I know the frustration.
It's still down here in Arizona. Most of my local friends can't sign in at the moment, but elsewhere in the US and in other regions things appear to be working so my guess is that the server for the southwest US is the last server to be serviced and will likely be online again in the near future.
Perhaps they needed to change the hamsters running the wheels that power it?
So they charge £10 more for each player now and we have had more PS downs in he last month for aong while. For the extra money they should be investing in more servers just because we've had some tripe a or really good games last 3 months doesn't make up for the price hike.
It was sound for me. I was shooting wizards on the moon.
I want the Dinklage back in Destiny.
I've been Spotifying and Destiny 2ing all weekend - not one connection issue... must have been short-lived or during a period where I wasn't playing! :/
Dunno why people keep linking these outages to Destiny, beyond a check to make sure you are paying for plus, PSN does nothing. The game itself uses Bungie's servers for a few things and peer to peer connections for the majority of the game (must resist the temptation to say Sony are charging you for an unneeded layer of DRM that can keep you out of a game you would otherwise be able to play without issue...)
I am east of the Mississippi and the store loaded quick and network test has everything up and running.
