Update #5 [Sat 8th Feb 2025, 6:15am]: PSN has been down and offline for over six hours now.
As a gamer hailing from Asia, I’ve been left high and dry today, finding it impossible to log in or utilize any online features on my PS5 and PS4. Meanwhile, it seems Europeans are just beginning their day, unaware of the fact that this outage is still persisting and causing us gamers here some serious inconvenience.
So far, PlayStation‘s primary social media platforms have been silent regarding the current situation, leaving us in the dark about details. Fingers crossed that we hear more from the PlayStation team in Europe soon.
Update #4 [Sat 8th Feb 2025, 2am]: The English-language support team of PlayStation has at last confirmed the continued downtime on the PSN network.
We acknowledge that certain PlayStation Network (PSN) users may be encountering problems at this moment, and we encourage you to check the PSN Service Status page for more information, as it indicates that all parts of the network are currently facing issues.
It’s clear that the feedback on these social media posts has been far from favorable. In fact, it seems that a larger number of users than just “some” are experiencing issues, suggesting a widespread outage that might be affecting the PlayStation Network (PSN) in its entirety. This could potentially impact all PS5 and PS4 users.
Should it continue for much longer, we’d expect PlayStation to release an official statement.
Update #3 [Sat 8th Feb 2025, 1:15am]: PlayStation Japan has acknowledged the PSN downtime and is currently investigating the cause. They express gratitude to users for their understanding as they work towards a solution.
Despite not having identified the specific issue yet, it’s worth noting that it’s been quite some time since we experienced a PlayStation Network (PSN) disruption of such scale. Even after just a few hours, new reports about the network being down continue to pour in.
Here in Europe, it’s quite late at night, so we probably won’t get updates from PlayStation’s European outlets until later today.
In the meantime, we’ll update this article again if PlayStation US breaks its silence.
Update #2 [Saturday, February 8th, 2025, 12:40am]: The PlayStation Network appears to have been completely offline for more than an hour now.
PlayStation is yet to comment on the outage across any of its social media channels.
Update #1 [Sat 8th Feb 2025, 12am]: I just checked, and the PlayStation Service Status page indicates that every corner of the PlayStation Network is facing troubles right now. It’s been approximately 45 minutes since the service went down.
If Sony, the maker of PlayStation, hasn’t spoken about the ongoing downtime through their social media platforms so far, they likely will need to address it soon if the issue persists.
It seems like this outage is affecting a large number of users, as more and more people are reporting it.
It appears that the PlayStation Network is experiencing an outage affecting the majority, if not all, of the PS5 and PS4 users at present.
Approximately twenty minutes ago, we began receiving reports about an outage that appears to be expanding. Based on our current understanding, it seems like a full system failure has occurred. Users are unable to log in, retrieve network-based data, or engage in online activities at this time.
It’s peculiar because the current status on the official PlayStation Network Service page indicates no problems. However, it seems unlikely as things stand, so we’ll have to keep an eye out for any updates.
We’ll also update this story as soon as we know more.
Essentially, significant PlayStation Network (PSN) troubles have been scarce for quite some time. Occasionally, minor disruptions occur, but Sony typically resolves these swiftly and efficiently. Here’s hoping they can handle any issues in this instance just as effectively.
