PlayStation Network struggles on Black Friday holiday

4.3
Sony’s PSN is down for some, causing connection issues to games and services.

Sony’s PlayStation Network is struggling to keep players connected online.

Some games are not playable for some PS4 users, and the PlayStation Store is down in certain regions too.

The official PlayStation Network Status page looks like this at the time of writing:


Destiny players are struggling to get online too.
It’s a holiday in the U.S. right now, and with the increased traffic from the Black Friday sales, the service may be patchy for the next few hours.

We’d suggest keeping an eye on Sony’s social channels, although it’s Twitter feed has not acknowledged the issues at the time of writing.

Oh lord, i guess this is sort of to be expected since Black Friday is quite the large shopping holiday.

As a now (by large) payed service i would expect the PSN to handle this load however

NBL Why is it mostly always PSN that goes down. The Xbox servers are up like all the time.


you mean xbox cause this is the first in a while that they go down now xbox was struggling since the summer cause of all the kiddies ddosing and stuff plus xbox servers arent always up they also go down on holidays and so on same with steams download servers nothing is perfect not saying xb is bad but saying its up like all the time makes me mad since that is false


People experience different things. The LIVE servers are normally up for me, just some game servers go screwy sometimes. Such as Destiny for one.
