Why is PSN network down?
PlayStation Network Outage Affects Millions of Gamers Worldwide
Sony's PlayStation Network (PSN) is currently experiencing a widespread outage, leaving millions of PlayStation users unable to access online services on their PS5, PS4, and older consoles. The outage, which began late Monday evening, has disrupted online gameplay, app access, and network features across the platform.
According to Sony's official PSN Service Status page, the issue is affecting multiple consoles, including the PS5, PS4, PS3, and PS Vita. The company has acknowledged the outage, stating, "You might have difficulty launching games, apps, or network features. We’re working to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience."
Many gamers have reported encountering error code "WS-116522-7" when trying to launch games or connect to the PlayStation Network, which points to a failure in the system software update process. Single-player games that do not require online sign-in are still accessible, but multiplayer modes and online services remain unavailable.
As of now, Sony has not provided any details on what caused the outage or when the issue will be resolved. This outage comes just hours after Sony fixed a separate issue that affected the home screen artwork for PS5 games, though it is unclear if the two problems are related.
Frustrated players have taken to social media to express their concerns, with many hoping for a swift resolution. Gamers eager to get back online may have to wait, as Sony continues to investigate the issue.
Stay tuned for further updates as Sony works to restore full functionality to its gaming network.
