Playstation network outage leaves gamers offline worldwide

A major global outage of the PlayStation Network is ongoing. Thousands of users are reporting issues with services such as the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Video, and even online gaming.

According to reports from the Downdetector service, problems with the platform began during the night of February 7 to February 8. Several hours later—just after 10:00 AM Eastern Time—I still can't log into my PSN account, and the number of reports is increasing.

At 8:46 PM Eastern Time, Sony announced "possible problems for some users" via the X service. Over the following 13 hours, no new messages appeared.

The PlayStation Network outage has affected at least some console users from accessing online services, including those with the PS5, PS4, PS3, PS Vita, and PS Portal. Problems are also occurring on the website and mobile apps. Although you can browse the PlayStation Store's offerings, trying to add a game to the cart or log in results in an error message.

At the time of publication, there have been over 5,900 reports from the US, over 800 from Spain, over 3,700 from France, and more than 1,400 from Poland.

After 11:00 AM, the number of outage reports in Poland remains high, approaching 1,500. Sony's post on X about "possible problems for some users" has gathered over 34,000 comments.

Reports from the Downdetector service indicate that issues with Sony's services persist. The number of reports in Poland has exceeded 1,900. Significant issues are also noted in Germany (over 6,500 reports), Italy (almost 2,400), and France (close to 3,900). Sony's only post on X about this issue has been viewed over 16 million times and has gathered about 44,000 comments.
