Update #2 [Thursday, April 16, 2026, 7:00 AM]: It’s been several hours since the PlayStation Network went down last night, and we’re still getting a few reports of problems.
Everything should be okay from here on out, and we believe this problem is fixed. However, we’ll keep checking throughout the day and let you know if anything unexpected happens again.
Okay, so I just saw the first update – April 16th at 3:45 AM! It’s good to see they’re responding quickly, and hopefully, things are already getting better. Fingers crossed!
Around 10 PM EDT (7 PM PDT, 3 AM BST), many PlayStation Network users reported issues, but the problems appear to be easing up about half an hour later.
We had some initial trouble launching games that require a constant internet connection, but things are improving now. We’re also noticing others are reporting similar positive changes online.
Although a few minor problems might still exist – and it appears several servers experienced outages around the same time – we expect things to get better from now on.
We’ll update again if anything particularly dramatic occurs.
Many PlayStation users are reporting problems with the PlayStation Network (PSN). Players with both PS5 and PS4 consoles are currently unable to play games online with others.
We successfully logged into the console during testing, but we encountered problems when trying to play games that require an internet connection.
Sony hasn’t officially said anything about the problem yet, but it looks like a lot of websites are experiencing issues. Over the past hour, we’ve noticed many other online services – like stores and gaming sites – are also having problems.
We’ll let you know if there are any important updates to this story. For now, please be patient, and we hope everything gets resolved quickly.
