Live: PSN down: what we know about the PlayStation Network outage

techradar.com:

The PlayStation Network Service Status is now showing issues with gaming and social, PlayStation Now and PlayStation Store.

According to the site, there are currently issues with game streaming on PS Vita, PS3, PS4, PS5 and more, which may result in «difficulty launching games, apps, or network features». PlayStation Now is also affected on PS Vita, PS3, PS4, PS5 and more, which means you «might have difficulty streaming PlayStation Now games». 

The PlayStation Store appears to be having the most issues, though, with purchases, downloads, browsing, searching and redeeming vouchers all affected. «You might have difficulty getting products on the PlayStation Store,» the website says.

For each of these issues, Sony has said it's «working to resolve the issue as soon as possible». 

We've just tried logging into a few multiplayer games on PS5 and found that Dead By Daylight, Destiny 2 and FIFA 22 online play isn't working. However, Apex Legends and Fortnite (which don't require PS Plus) are working. It appears the issue is only affecting games that require PS Plus.

A glitch in the recent PlayStation software update may be the cause of the issues, with the glitch asking players to sign up for PS Plus to play online multiplayer games, even if they already have a subscription. 

A PlayStation system software update went live this morning on PS4/PS5 and appears to be a glitch where the system asks people to get PS Plus to play online, even if you already own PS Plus. This may effect your ability to play CoD MP (not Warzone, though) until Sony fixes.March 23, 2022
