If you were hoping to play some PlayStation games on Friday night, you might have discovered last night that PSN was down, ruining your plans. There is some bad news, but I thought things would be fixed by this morning.
After 14 hours, psn down; updates regarding when it will be corrected or the cause of this have not been provided. The PSN service page states, "some services are experiencing issues," although seemingly all services are experiencing the red "dead" light. Playing games, movies, the store, everything of it—sign-in. Though occasionally just sections go down, this is a complete blackout. And a long one as well.
tweeting merely "We are aware that some users might be currently experiencing issues with PSN (playstation network status twitter)" and directly gamers to the page below, the PlayStation support account has not been quite useful. That was eleven hours ago; updates since then have not been given.
Although this is a protracted outage—the longest we have seen from PSN (status of playstation network) in a long time—nothing can compare to the all-time craziness caused by security breaches by hackers, which also acquired the personal data of 77 million members back in April of 2011. Given the length of the outage, that seems highly improbable to be what is happening here today.
Even other games are commenting in on the outage at this time. Here's the highly popular Marvel Rivals, which claims they are speaking with PlayStation (best playstation games) directly:
