The PlayStation Network is currently down in various parts of the world.
Earlier today, many PlayStation gamers took to social media to share that they couldn’t access various online features. On Downdetector, there have also been more than 40,000 reports of issues coming in starting at 5pm ET.
Following that, PlayStation’s official status page has been updated to confirm that “you might have difficulty” accessing Account management, gaming and social, PlayStation Now, PlayStation Video and/or the PlayStation Store.
“We’re working to resolve the issue as soon as possible,” Sony notes under each of these services.
It’s unclear exactly how widespread these issues are, but at least a few PlayStation users in Canada have reported experiencing them, on top of those in the U.S.
