PlayStation Network outage latest – live updates as PSN remains down

A PlayStation Network outage is exactly what you don't need on a weekend, but it's unfortunately what you've got right now – because PSN remains down hours after it first crashed.

Frustrated PS5 and PS4 gamers first reported problems accessing PSN at around 6pm ET on Friday (February 7) and at the time of writing, about 17 hours later, the service is still down for many.

We'll do our best to find out what's happening with the PSN outage and will bring you updates as soon as we have them.

Hello and welcome to our PlayStation Network outage live blog. I wish I had good news to report but right now the service remains down.

We first realized there were problems with PSN when Downdetector outage reports spiked at around 6pm ET / 11pm GMT yesterday.

The graph below shows the huge volume of reports on the US version of the site:

The UK version of Downdetector tells a similar story – and indeed it appears to be a worldwide problem.
