Update: Three hours after first publishing this article, the official PSN Service Status page now says that there are no known issues to report. We assume that's the end of that, but this has still been one of the most widely reported PSN problems in a long time. Hopefully just a blip!
Original Story: The PlayStation Network is reportedly experiencing a number of issues. At the time of writing, the official PSN Service Status page lists problems with account management, gaming and social, PlayStation Now, the PlayStation Store, and PlayStation Music. Basically everything, then.
It's been a long, long time since the PlayStation Network ran into widespread trouble — but it's unclear just how many people these problems are impacting. Right now, we're signed in on PS5 with nothing to report, but something is clearly going on for a number of other users
We will, of course, update this article as we learn more.

Seems to back up here for me in the UK now
Just dropping in to say I FINALLY got my mitts on a PS5, and on the day of the release of Little Nightmares 2, can't wait to play it & Astro's Playroom!
Everything seems to be ok on my end. But I know this feels for those going through this. Hopefully it won’t last long.
@JustPlainLoco Have Fun!
@Goat_FromBOTW - I shall indeed, thanks!
Alot of us its saying we are signed out of psn when u click on it it wants us to buy the subscription again but I'm good til next year its like its not registered that we are subscribed at all
Is the EU effected by this? Uk ***** land? South east no problems to report
It wasn't just PSN that went off the air for a few minutes... Steam, XBL, Origin and etc. also went down for some people.
@JustPlainLoco Congrats and have fun 😃
@JustPlainLoco congrats, hope you got it at rupa
On new years day my psn account got stollen.i got it back but I havent been able to make my ps4 as primary for a while. But today I was able too. So I bet alot of hackers were able to steal accounts today.
@Jobless1 I had Stollen for Christmas as well. Very festive. Glad to see you weren't leaving your account out of the festivities, even if you did take it back. Can see why it got a bit annoyed. No one wants their stollen stolen.
Brings back memories of ps3.....
@Eldritch
The dried fruit gives me awful wind 😐
Why aren't updates on articles reflected in the headline so people don't have to click on the article to find out the situation is over?
Oh wait I think I've answered my own question 😊
My R2 broke yesterday (D2 is fine) and I have a replacement coming from amazon today, bust one posted yesterday.
These things are fantastic but so brittle. I knew this would happen. They need a hardware revision ASAP and also a DS pro with upgraded parts, metal instead of plastic would help. DS pro, and DS V2.
Make it happen Sony.
Congratulations on the PS5 dude.
Are people with digital games able to play them when the services go down? Just curious. If they can't, that would make the Digital Edition PS5 a really expensive paper weight during the hours PSN services are offline.
@DreamerAbe86
Yes you can still play them, the only exception would naturally be online games
@suikoden Ah, thanks for the answer.
