Sony confirms PSN down on Monday. The PlayStation Network is officially down, with multiple reports of network problems cropping up Monday morning. The network problems are impacting all Sony gaming consoles, including the PS3, PS4 and PS Vita systems.

An official message released by Sony on Monday afternoon stated: “You may have some difficulty launching games, applications, or online features. Our engineers are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible, and we thank you for your patience.”
Alight Capital Management declined 1.3% on a net basis for the first quarter of 2022, according to a copy of the firm's quarterly update, which ValueWalk has been able to review. Short positions offset most of the losses on the long side of the portfolio. The long/short equity fund exited the quarter with a net Read More
Given reports are coming in via social media all across the globe, it is clear this is world-wide issue and not just a regional problem.
The issue with PSN down has left players unable to sign in or create a new account, leaving most players unable to use their device currently.
UPDATE: According to multiple sources, the PlayStation network was back up by 9 to 10 PM ET on Monday
More on Monday’s breaking tech news — PSN down
A number of users are currently reporting they are receiving an error message saying that the PSN is currently “undergoing maintenance”.
Keep in mind that the PlayStation Now streaming service has also been taken offline, leaving fans unable to stream any titles, while media apps have been left badly affected.
Analysts remain puzzled about what could be causing the latest outage, and the company is remaining mum on the source of the problem.
A few sources are claiming that gamers are now beginning to regain access to some, but not all, core PSN services.
In the last half hour or so some sources have reported being able to access the PlayStation Store, but others still cannot get access to all services.
The PlayStation Network also suffered server problems over the just-passed holidays, hit by higher than expected traffic from new users and core gamers buying during a timed sales event.
Stay tuned as ValueWalk will be keeping up with this breaking story on PSN down throughout the day.

It’s not the first time it has happened is what I am saying, for a big company like Sony they have should have a redundancy system in place!! It doesn’t matter the amount of compensation it’s the principle of the matter, imagine how many people are down and then times that by13.5 cents!!
You are really going to complain about13.5 cents? lmfao
It’s working.
All we have is mmo gaming so currently my effing device is unusable. Oh yea I’ll just play on my ps4 movingvfrim screen to screen.
instead of playing PS4, you assholes in dubai should be thinking of finding a way to STOP torturing people, caning, stonning and flogging women for so much as wearing make up or driving a car! Fu savages http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2014/oct/23/migrant-domestic-workers-uae-beaten-abused
Same here
As of right now, I am logged into PSN on my PS3. It still will not let me sign in on PS4.
Both systems have multiple dedicated servers. This is not a MS vs. Sony issue. Sony’s official statement did not mention whether or not they have an indication as to when the servers will be up. That NONE of your games are running is not the fault of the network unless all of your games require an Internet connection.
The only disc that has worked has been a movie. They have already said that there is no indication on when they will have the servers up an running, which in all honesty why only run one one server xbox has multiple servers they run off of thats why they hardly have these issues.
Sure thing. You seem very well informed, so I’ll have to take your word for it.
Actually no cuz i cant play anything on mine it wont even load even for offline an no its not my ps4
Im beyond pissed not only was i not able to play yesterday cuz i kept getting kicked off an logged out i cant play today seriously i didnt pay for ps plus on ps4 to not be able to use an play online there better be some extension on the plus members a muti million dollar comapny cant even keep its shit together or have a back up server seriously psn is jus getting worse im about to go back to xbox u hardly ever have probs with them but there seems yo be a prob with ps almost every damn week
What I don’t understand is how can something so big not have any redundancy so if one server fails the other picks it up, this is a joke and once again disappointed in PSN – want a form of compensation as this is not the first time!!
How did Mike Hunt get out again?
Being a little hopeful, it was down for months a couple of years back. Didn’t get much for that ?
R u still on ?
Have they tried switching it off and resetting their router seems to be their answ
er to every other problem iv contacted them about
What has happened to the network ?
I can’t sign in on ps4 n PS3
Mine is back on everyone as of 4 30 est
But I do think a little information would help us deal with the situation, like the rational adults we are.
Exactly lol
He probably doesn’t have one
Did anyone else notice that none of Clayton’s past times has anything to do with gaming
I didnt think about that, i just tried it and got in, thanks a lot!
I hope Sony is gonna give us free money on our account because of this
Go to your network settings and uncheck the connect to Internet maybe that will let you play offline story
Exactly
This is a little pants! My PS4 isn’t just my games console…Netflix. .now TV. ..amazon..youtube. its been hours…so..what the hell is going on? I’ve had games crash..so maybe they’re working on that? Can’t see that taking so long though..its Sony..They would have the best guys on it. I’m thinking hacked.
I just filed a refund with paypal hope more drop them
I don’t own GTA 5, so I can’t speak on this one. That does suck though.
I can’t even sign in
Im not able to play GTA V story. I have it on disk and idc about online but i just dont see why i cant play GTA story
its an attack by hackers. its called ddos.
http://map.norsecorp.com/
Every single PSN game I have, with the exception of Poker, is working just fine. Styx, Soma, Magicka 2, The Swapper, Teslagrad, Spelunky, Shovel Knight, they all work.
im pretty sure its a ddos. according to the norse attack map
http://map.norsecorp.com/
Remember that last time everything just moved really, really slowly as they bogged down the servers before it quit entirely. This isn’t like a DDoS. Everything online just doesn’t work. But it’s definitely not something they’re comfortable admitting, so maybe you’re right.
source?
They said about a week
Downloaded games require you to verify the license on the PSN so downloaded games will not work
Exactly
I think they might not want to tell everyone it is a DDoS and they’re powerless to stop it. I can’t imagine such a widespread outage and them not being able to fix it. Last year when they had that string of attacks my PSN still worked, so I guess I’m just catching up now
Exactly
The only time a denial of service effected gamers around the world, that I can recall, was the Lizard Squad DDOS of 14-15. Usually it’s maintenence or, yes, a server problem. But it does suck that it’s down on a free day for you. Hopefully they’ll have it back up soon.
Happens to xbone, too… look up Lizard Squad xbox live attack. xbox live was down for weeks last year. WEEKS.
YOU sir are an illiterate buffoon.
Exactly
DRM-protected digital may require internet connection just to play.
Most of the time when it happens it’s because of a DDoS attack. This is probably from server overload. I don’t understand why they can’t just restart everything and call it a day. What’s more crazy is that today everyone is in school or at work. I’ve got the day free and I can’t do ANYTHING.
If games you’ve already downloaded that don’t require an online connection to play aren’t working, it sounds like you have a separate problem.
PSN still down for me… any word on when this crap is gonna start working again? I just want access to the store so I can download my stuff. I don’t even want to multiplay.
All my downloaded games are down – only disks are working for me ? nothing else is working either, like YouTube etc.
Yes, guaranteed, all online functionality is currently screwed. But this happens like, four or five times a year, every year. I’m not saying it doesn’t suck, I’m just saying there’s no need for Clayton’s article to have this tone of a Chicken Little ‘sky is falling’ doom.
Exactly
I cant play anything with multiplayer; I can get to my other games to even DL them, etc. No Store, etc etc, Its all down. You’re only fine if you are running on disks and offline stuff of coarse.
Its not Gamestop’s ‘worthless junk’. Its an issue with the PSN servers, nothing more. Sometimes that happens. No need to be so impatient.
Exactly
Let’s not exaggerate the circumstances, Clayton. I’m playing my PS4 right now. I just can’t play online-only games. ‘Most players’ are not ‘currently unable to use their device’. You can play both disc games and downloaded ones.
Same here in Dubai!!! -.-
Exactly
I haven’t played my system in months, and the day I try to get some online time in it’s undergoing maintenance. Great…
I asked for a refund and boxing up there crap and leting gamestop resell there worthless junk
PSN DOWN FOR ME–EUROPE!!!!
Exactly
We want to know when its gone fix?? 1-2 hours?? Or more just tell us somthing we know that there isaproblem we can see and feel that
