Yes, you heard right. The PlayStation Network (PSN) is down at the moment. This unfortunate situation affects online services for both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, so you’ll have to put your gaming plans on pause for now.
As of the latest update, the only official word we’ve received is from the Ask PlayStation Japan Twitter account. They’ve issued a statement, which we’ve translated into English using Twitter’s built-in translation feature.

They said, “Currently, the PlayStation™ Network (including the PlayStation® Store) might be unavailable. We’re sorry for any trouble this causes our customers. We’re looking into it and working to get everything back online, so we ask for your patience.”
Essentially, this means that Sony is aware of the problem, but there’s no timeline for when it will be resolved. We’re left with no choice but to wait it out. It’s particularly bad timing given that the Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta is running, letting Xbox and PC gamers dive right in while PlayStation users are sidelined. And even if Monster Hunter isn’t on your radar, it’s the weekend. This is prime time for gaming, especially for those who only get to play during days off. Let’s hope the network is back up and running soon.
