PlayStation Network is currently facing a major outage, impacting a wide range of services, as confirmed on the official PlayStation website. Since August 2, 2025, at 5:00 AM, the network has been down across all platforms, including PS Vita, PS3, PS4, PS5, and web access. Users are struggling to sign in or create accounts because the Account Management service is offline. Beyond account issues, the outage is also disrupting gaming and social services, making it hard for players to launch games or use online features. PlayStation Video and the PlayStation Store are affected too, with users unable to access content, make purchases, or download products.
Sony has addressed the problem on their official PlayStation support X/Twitter account. They confirmed they’re aware of the issues affecting PSN and recommended users check their status page for updates. However, the outage has now stretched over five hours, and there’s still no clear timeline for when things will be fixed.
The outage is impacting several key areas. For Account Management, users can’t sign in or create new accounts. Gaming and social features are also down, making it difficult to launch games or apps. PlayStation Video and the PlayStation Store are inaccessible, meaning users can’t watch videos, buy games, or redeem vouchers. These widespread issues are causing frustration across the PlayStation community.
This outage comes at a time when many players depend on the network for gaming and online interaction. While Sony has assured users they’re working to fix the problem, there’s still no clarity on when services will be fully restored.
As of now, there is no additional information about what caused the outage or when it will be resolved. Users are advised to check the official PlayStation status page for updates. The situation is still developing, and Sony is expected to share more details as it works to resolve the technical issues affecting the PlayStation Network.
