ORIGINAL STORY: The PlayStation Network is currently experiencing what seems to be a worldwide outage.
The official PlayStation Service Status website currently shows red lights across the board. Whatever the issue is, it seems to be effecting every aspect of the network.
However, it doesn’t appear to be hitting every single player as many people are commenting on various platforms that they can still log in and play, while others are left unable to do anything at all. Here in the UK I’m watching WWE Smackdow on Netflix on my PS5, so I seem to be one of the lucky sods.
PlayStation Japan is seemingly the first official Sony source outside the service status checker to confirm the problem. They have asked people to remain patient as they look into whatever is causing the issue.
Hopefully this won’t be as bad as that time the entire PlayStation Network went down for 23 days in 2011. Crazy times, those were.
