PSN down worldwide (September 30 / October 1, 2024)​

PSN went down tonight, September 30 (October 1, in some regions), 2024. The outage began a few hours ago and has been acknowledged by Sony, but the issue has yet to be resolved at the time of this writing.

This is a global outage affecting all regions, so irrespective of where you are, you’ll have trouble logging into the network and playing games online, among other things. According to the PSN status webpage, with the exception of PlayStation Direct, every network service is experiencing issues.

“You might have difficulty signing in or creating an account for PlayStation Network,” Sony wrote. “We’re working to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.” The company added that players will have “difficulty launching games, apps or network features,” including making purchases on the PS Store.

The PS App is also not loading correctly at the time of this writing, and its associated services, like PS Stars, are also down.

Earlier today, Sony said that a technical glitch caused PS5 consoles to become clogged with ads and unwanted content. That issue has since been resolved, with players joking that Sony broke something along the way.

I think they have taken a break.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Free Concord for everyone.

That'd be a great offer.

Even better, it'd have zero stress on Sony's server farms since nobody would download it anyway.

 

[Fake]

Free Concord for everyone.

I prefer PSN to remain down than Concord.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

Sony should buy more servers

 

[Icymanipulator]

Couldn’t log into Genshin earlier and was wondering why, guess this explains it.

Although, I was still able to get into Zenless Zone Zero, so that’s weird.

 

[KrisB]

Guess I’ll dust off the Xbox to play the Starfield expansion then.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Surprised no obligatory "digital future" post, yet

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Compensation is needed

 

[lh032]

[onQ123]

Hmmm network attacked by competitor !!!??

How? There is no competition

Xbox said their competition is Google & Amazon

 

[Sleepwalker]

[RPCGamer]

I think they have taken a break.

An ad break

 

[DonF]

[dreamstation]

Is it still down now? Be home from work shortly and wanted to play

 

[Shin-Ra]

Surprised no obligatory "digital future" post, yet

Welcome to your unreliable, inconvenient future if you play online-service-reliant games. Even ones with single player modes like Gran Turismo 7.

Streaming games? Forget about it.
Multiplayer games without LAN or bot support? Nope.
GaaS? Nah.
Ubisoft Blu-ray games you haven’t installed yet or kept installed? No.
Download games you haven’t downloaded? Nuh-uh.
That brand new PS5 slim digital or PS5 Pro without a paired Blu-ray drive? lol.

All it takes is one of the fragile links in internet connectivity to go down and the more reliant everything is on online services, the bigger a target it becomes.

 

[nowhat]

Is it still down now? Be home from work shortly and wanted to play

For future reference: https://status.playstation.com/

...and yeah, still seems to be down.

 

[Neff]

Heihachi has a lot to answer for.

 

[LMJ]

Hopefully not a sign of something sinister as Verizon also had massive outages today...in the millions supposedly, our phones were down until nearly 3

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Oh, No! Anyway... JK
This past Friday, I believe Moneygram was hacked... expect more of this.. I prepped and super prepped after the biggest hack of our time came out.

 

[Mokus]

Free Concord for everyone.

 

[Stu_Hart]

Good thing I didn't pay for psn and I treat ps5 as my single player only machine. I didn't even notice it till it was reported.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

32TB External. Multiple Thumb Drives. I'm ready to go Offline.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

32TB External. Multiple Thumb Drives. I'm ready to go Offline.

With just two COD games? I don't know, man.

 

[rkofan87]

This is weird, but I haven't tried to buy anything or download anything but p. Yes. N pages were loading for me and stuff seems to be working.
Very strange.e

 

[Pegasus Actual]

I'll accept nothing less than 10 free first party games as compensation.

[Dirk Benedict]

I don't play CoD... not since 2. So I guess I am O.K??

 

[Spukc]

My super nintendo still works

 

[FeralEcho]

I'll laugh my ass off if on PRO release day someone hacks their servers and no one can play their 700$ digital enthusiast console it would be poetry.

 

[april6e]

Being a night owl sucks. These outages and downtimes always happen when I actually try to hop on and play.

 

[bitbydeath]

Surprised no obligatory "digital future" post, yet

“GaaS future”

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Hermen Hulst is literally destroying Playstation

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

In statistics, out of every 10 Playstation news, 9 are bad news.

...and yeah, still seems to be down.

I picked a good night to overindulge in edibles and just lay on the floor listening to music.

I don’t need no internet machine to hear colors right now.
