On the PlayStation Network website, Management, PlayStation Store and Gaming and Social everything appears to be all systems go, but s worldwide are reporting that they are unable to get onto the PSN.
Looking at Down Detector, over 3000 Australians have reported issues with PlayStation Network, with that number only rising instead of going back down how it normally would for a short outage.
It’s unclear what’s causing the issue, but people are currently unable to play online as well as anything as well as access information.
At the time of writing, PlayStation hasn’t acknowledged PSN being down, but we’ll keep you posted if there’s anything major that changes or pops up.
