Worldwide disturbances strike PlayStation Network, operated by Sony
PlayStation Network (PSN) users worldwide are facing difficulties accessing gaming services, following a global outage that began around 6:20 ET on Wednesday. According to Down Detector, more than 10,930 gamers around the world have complained about the PSN glitches.
The current outage is preventing users from connecting to online multiplayer modes across popular games, and many are also facing issues with messaging features, friend lists, party chats, and other communication channels. A majority of complaints (88%) are about server connectivity issues, while 7% involve login problems, and 5% report gameplay disruptions.
This is not the first time PSN has experienced such an outage. In 2011, the network suffered a cyberattack that left services offline for 23 days. The 2011 incident also breached the sensitive data and privacy of 77 million users. In response to this incident, Sony offered PlayStation Plus membership as compensation.
In February 2025, PSN experienced a global disruption that lasted for 24 hours. The last official spokesperson for Sony PlayStation Network who announced the global outage issue on Monday, June 15th, was Sony Interactive Entertainment. As of now, PlayStation has not addressed the issue on any official account.
Many users have expressed their predicaments on Sony's official X account on social media. Thousands of users were unable to access gaming services on PSN, causing frustration among the gaming community.
While the cause of the current outage is yet to be determined, users can only hope for a swift resolution and reassurance from Sony regarding the security of their personal data. In the meantime, gamers are advised to stay tuned to official PSN channels for updates on the situation.
