ROME — Sony’s PlayStation Network (PSN) experienced a major outage on Saturday, impacting tens of thousands of gamers who were unable to access online services, stores, and multimedia apps.
“PSN users may be facing issues at the moment,” PlayStation acknowledged on its social media channels, acknowledging the growing number of complaints from users worldwide.
Reports of connectivity issues spread quickly across social media, with users frustrated by error messages and login failures.
“PSN down on a Friday night is criminal,” a London-based user named Ramos wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
According to the Downdetector outage tracking site, users started to report issues with PSN late Friday.
Shortly after, Sony responded to users’ concerns, confirming the problems without providing details on the possible cause of the outage.
The Sony website confirmed the disruptions in its PlayStation Network services. According to the PlayStation support webpage, there are ongoing issues with several services, such as account management, gaming, social services, PlayStation Video, PlayStation Store, and PlayStation Direct.
Last October the PlayStation network was down for several hours.
