[UPDATE] The PlayStation network is back and works

Update: February 8, 2025, 19:49 pm CST After end hours, PlayStation Network seems to be back online. The reports on Downdector have dropped and for the moment everything seems stable. We will keep an eye on the situation in case something is changing. Read our original story below.

Playstation The owners of consoles who wanted to play online games had a rude start for the weekend.

Users began to report the generalized breakdowns of the PlayStation network at the start of the evening on Friday, by Downward detector (A service belonging to Ziff Davis, the parent company of Mashable).

These things generally do not last a particularly long period, which made more interesting than the breakdown, at least for some, persisted on Saturday morning. Playstation Official server status page Said that their services encounters problems on Saturday morning, and at the same time, my PS5 will not load my online list of friends.

This can present all kinds of problems. Obviously, if the PSN does not work, you cannot play (or not easily play, anyway) online games, but this can also prevent users from playing games purchased digitally. I haven’t had this problem yet, but it can happen.

Hopefully Sony to correct this for people who do not care about football can enjoy their weekends.
