Reachability by region

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.

What PlayStation Network does

PlayStation Network is Sony's online service for PlayStation consoles. It handles account sign-in, online multiplayer, the PlayStation Store, digital game licences and streaming video. Because sign-in gates most of it, a PSN incident often stops people playing games they already own rather than merely removing online features, which is why outages draw attention well beyond the players affected.

What an outage looks like

Sign-in fails with an error code, or hangs on the sign-in screen. Online multiplayer will not connect and parties drop. The PlayStation Store fails to load or purchases will not complete. Some digital games refuse to launch when the console cannot verify a licence, which is why an outage can stop single-player games that seem to have no online component.

What to do about it

Check status.playstation.com, which reports Account Management, Gaming And Social, PlayStation Store, PlayStation Video and PlayStation Direct as separate services, broken down by console generation. Account Management being degraded explains sign-in failures even when Gaming And Social looks healthy. Setting your console as the primary PS5 or PS4 for your account allows offline play of digital titles, which is worth doing before the next incident rather than during it.

Is it down for everyone, or just you?

If this page says PlayStation Network is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from all 18 regions to find out where it breaks.

PlayStation Network outage FAQ

Is PSN down for everyone or just me?

Check status.playstation.com first, which breaks the network into Account Management, Gaming And Social, PlayStation Store and PlayStation Video and reports each per console generation. If every service reads normally, the problem is more likely local: your network, the console's DNS settings, or a single game's own servers. A game can be unplayable because the publisher's servers are down while PSN itself is entirely healthy.

Why can I not play a single-player game during a PSN outage?

Because the console may be checking a digital licence it cannot verify. Digital titles need to confirm entitlement unless the console is set as your primary system, and when Account Management is degraded that check fails and the game refuses to launch. Setting your main console as primary is what prevents this, and it has to be done in advance. Disc-based games are unaffected.

Will my purchase go through if the PlayStation Store is down?

A purchase that errors out generally does not complete, but the safe move is to verify rather than retry. PlayStation Store is a separate service from Account Management, so a payment can fail while the rest of the network is fine. Check your download list and transaction history once the Store recovers before buying again, since repeated attempts during an incident are how people end up with duplicate charges to dispute.

How long do PlayStation Network outages usually last?

Most are resolved within a few hours, though the network has had incidents lasting considerably longer. The status page publishes updates per service rather than a single estimate, so a partial incident affecting only the Store may clear while sign-in problems persist. There is no reliable way to predict duration from the outside, and rebuilding the console database or reinstalling games will not shorten it.

How we measure this

We request PlayStation Network's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — 8 of them answered the most recent check.
A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A 403 or 429 means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage.
A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
Where PlayStation Network publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
