Since PlayStation hasn't acknowledged the connectivity problems, fans have no timetable for when services may be fully restored.
It seems as though PSN went down in the last hour. We attempted to play Bloodborne online to test things out for ourselves, and were completely unable to connect to the online services. Reports are starting to pick up on Twitter and elsewhere of other people who are unable to play PS5 games online as well.
