PlayStation Network outage map: See where the service has been affected after thousands reported issues

Millions of gamers were cut off this morning after the PlayStation Network (PSN) suffered a major global outage.

The network was unavailable for most of Tuesday and complaints started pouring in before 2am.

Currently, a warning message appears on the PSN website stating that account management, PlayStation Store, gaming and social pages, and PlayStation Video are ‘experiencing issues’ with the note: ‘We are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.’

The issues prevent users from logging in on PS5, PS4, PS Vita and PS3, meaning many PlayStation users will not be able to play online against other players around the world.

According to a map of outage reports on Downdetector.co.uk, users across the UK have been affected, disrupting plans for a slow morning or relaxing day off for many.

One frustrated subscriber commented: ‘Bro, I pay my PS plus every month and can’t play after work. Shame on you Sony.”

The PlayStation Network has 110 million registered monthly users and more than 103 million active users.

PlayStation has been contacted for comment.
