Sony: PSN currently offline, no word on when it will return

4.6

In a brief statement posted to its official support page, Sony notes that the PlayStation Network is currently down.

"PSN is currently offline, and we are hard at work to resume service," the message reads. "At this time an estimate as to when PSN will be online is unavailable; however, we will update this article as soon as there's additional information." Those affected by the outage are urged to follow the @PlayStation Twitter account for updates on when service has resumed.

Anecdotally, reports we've received suggest that the PSN Store is available to some players, while connecting to an online match results in a server error. Internal testing reveals that Joystiq staffers are unable to connect to Destiny's multiplayer Crucible mode.

I'm guessing that this is just for some people because I've been playing online without an issue.

Inb4 lizard squad on ya forehead. Sony need to step their game up, they seem to go down at least once a month!

Heheh, hopefully PSN hasn't been hacked again. *trollface*. I still find that quite funny since I was an Xbox fanboy when that happened. Regardless, they need to fix this ASAP. Someone shouldn't be unable to play their console online for more than an hour or two.

UnD3aD_Stealth did someone hack the PSN network again?

I don't think so, it probably would have been announced on Twitter. For some odd reason, people like to brag about hitting popular sites/servers offline, and they post it on Twitter. Which almost always leads to members of their DDoSing group getting caught...
