Description:
Were seeing red lights across Sonys service status dashboard, and its not looking too good for weekend gaming prospects right now.

FULL STORY ======================================================================PlayStat ion Network has been down for just over 12 hours While the outage appeared to settle after an initial spike, it has worsened again in the last few hours We don't yet have an official cause or ETA for when PSN will get back to normal

The PlayStation Network has been down for just over 12 hours at this point,
in what appears to be a major outage, and one thats still very much ongoing, sadly.

Based on reports from Downdetector there was a huge spike of complaints initially, peaking at over 14,000 reports, and that appeared to settle down somewhat notably without being completely resolved before another smaller peak has been hit, and sustained, over the last few hours.

Those wanting to grab a weekend session of Call of Duty on PlayStation, or whatever their preferred online poison, may find that tricky right now.

Some users are telling us that they are successfully getting onto PSN, but there are plenty of other reports on X from gamers who cant log in and the official status looks, shall we say, shaky. An unfortunate array of red
lights

According to the PlayStation North American support account on X, some users might be currently experiencing issues with PSN, but there are no further details given, or any idea of an ETA for a fix here. We are aware some users might be currently experiencing issues with PSN.For more details: https://t.co/NJX2xGusZM February 8, 2025

That post on X just points to the PlayStation Network service status
dashboard , which currently displays a rather worrying array of red lights.

There are reported sign-in issues for PSN, and were advised: You might have difficulty signing in or creating an account for PlayStation Network. Were working to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Thank you for your
patience.

The red flag in the Gaming and social part of the dashboard notes: You might have difficulty launching games, apps or network features. Again, a
resolution is promised ASAP, but as youre probably aware, these are boilerplate messages. Its not like Sony wouldnt be working to fix this quickly, is it?

For now, though, we remain rather in the dark at to any causes, but given
that the red lights extend beyond PSN gaming and log ins, to also encompass the PlayStation Store, as well as PlayStation Video and Direct, this is looking like it might be a thorny one. Particularly given the prolonged
nature of the outage so far.

Well keep a close eye on the situation and update this story if we hear anything more concrete from PlayStation support. But about all gamers can do right now is keep their fingers firmly crossed that this doesnt turn out to
be as complex as some of the indicators here are suggesting and just keep trying to log in. You may also like... Our full guide to the best PS5 games that you could play when PSN is back up The next PlayStation State of Play could come as early as Valentine's Day PlayStation Plus members shouldn't
