PSN Servers Down Right Now [Update: Back Online]
It looks like the PS4 service is experiencing significant issues right now.
Update: PSN status is now back to normal, with all usual services resumed. Original story follows.
It appears the PlayStation Network is running into some problems right now. The official PlayStation Network Service Status page shows that basically all of PSN's services are experiencing outages right now. As always, your mileage may vary, but for now it seems as if the issues are widespread across PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, among other platforms.
It's been tough sledding for PSN of late, as this partial outage comes just over a week after the network faced big server problems at the end of January.
The outage appears to be affecting many games, including Epic's Fortnite. The developer acknowledged the issues on Twitter and directed players to Sony's support site for more details.
People on Twitter had a lot to say about the newest PSN outage. Here are some of the tweets we saw regarding the network issues (even Chance the Rapper chimed in):
Wake me up when the psn is done with maintenance.
