The PlayStation Network is currently experiencing technical difficulties. Its network status page was updated at 7PM Eastern time with a warning that users may encounter issues with logging in, accessing and editing their accounts, regardless of the console used. Additionally, users are experiencing difficulties logging into the network on their computer or phone.

The network outage affects various aspects of the PlayStation Network, including the ability to create an account. The service has also warned that users may experience difficulties launching games and apps on their consoles and accessing certain features that require an internet connection, which may impact the ability to play some titles or access specific features.

The network outage, as expected, also affects the PlayStation Store. Users will need to wait until the issue is resolved to shop, as they will not be able to purchase and redeem vouchers, browse titles, or search for specific games. Furthermore, users will not be able to start downloading new games or updates, and any downloads in progress may not show any progress until the issue is fixed.
