This is the second time PSN has experienced issues this weekend. The last time this happened, it was apparently the work of a hacker group, although there is no info yet on the downtime cause this time around.

Let us know if you are experiencing any issues with PSN on your PS3 and PS4 in the comments below.



Update: As of 9:44 a.m. Pacific / 12:44 p.m. Eastern, Sony is reporting all services up and running. Previous problems with sign-in and account management have been rectified.

DPM PSN is actually pretty good for the majority of the time, its just now and then it goes down. People seem to go on like it's down every day but if anything XBL goes down more than PSN for me (So far this year anyway)


No defo not. And even when Xbox are "down" its for some people and for a short amount of time. PSN go down for hours and even days.

They are honestly just a nuisance now. They have no reason to do this other than the reason that they are just annoying.

Pretty weird how PSN and XBL go down at the same time to be honest.
