PlayStation Network Is Currently Down
In a fit of what we can only hope is unfortunate timing, PlayStation Network is currently down.
The outage came this morning as players tried to log in, only to be greeted with a system level message stating that the PlayStation Network is down. A quick perusal of Sony's PSN status site also confirms that most major functions of the network are not working at the moment, except for PlayStation Vue.
The AskPlayStation twitter has confirmed that there are issues, but has not gone into any more detail. For right now, there's not much that can be done besides sitting and waiting it out and hoping it gets fixed today.
Our Take
Hopefully it's just a network congestion issue with the launch of Dragon Ball FighterZ and Monster Hunter World last night, but it's still unfortunate players can't use the online features of those games on PS4 right now. Ideally, by the time you read this, it will all be fixed.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
