The PlayStation Network (PSN) is currently experiencing a significant outage, leaving gamers around the globe unable to access online services. The disruption began late Friday evening, with users reporting issues across multiple services, including online gaming, account management, and the PlayStation Store.

According to DownDetector, the problem began just before midnight on Friday night, with more than 71,000 users reporting the outage to the site.

Sony has acknowledged the issue, stating on their support webpage that they are aware of the problem and are working to resolve it as soon as possible.

The outage has led to widespread frustration among gamers, especially given the timing during high-activity weekend events. Popular titles like FC 25 and Call of Duty have been impacted, halting special tournaments and promotional activities. Many users have taken to social media platforms to express their dissatisfaction, with some highlighting the high cost of PSN membership as a point of contention.

As of now, there is no official timeline for when services will be fully restored. Sony advises users to monitor the PlayStation Network Service Status page for real-time updates.

This incident marks one of the most significant outages for PSN in recent years, recalling the major disruption in 2011 when the network was down for 23 days due to a security breach.

Gamers are advised to stay tuned for further updates and to check official PlayStation channels for the latest information.
