Can’t get your PS5 online at the moment? You’re not the only one, it seems. The PlayStation Network is currently down, with an outage preventing PS5s from connecting online in Australia and around the world.
According to the official PlayStation Network status page, it’s a widespread issue. All services, from account management to gaming, and even the PlayStation Store have been down since earlier this morning.
Downdetector lists thousands of PlayStation Network outage reports starting from 10:08 AM, with users unable to access servers.
The network status page mentions that players “might have difficulty launching games, apps or network features” in addition to “getting products in PlayStation Store.” It also impacts access via web browsers, PS4 and PS3 consoles. Even the beloved niche handheld PS Vita console is affected, which reminds me that mine is gathering dust.
It’s unfortunate timing for anyone who wanted to sneak in a quick match of FC 25 over lunch. At the time of writing, Sony hasn’t provided an estimated recovery time. The only update so far from its official support account on X, AskPlayStation, refers to an earlier issue that incorrectly displayed news information on PS5 dashboards.
I tried signing into the PlayStation App on my phone, only to get caught on an infinite loading screen. There’s not much else to do in the meantime except wait for an update.
Predictably, the PlayStation Subreddit is filled with comments and memes making light of the situation. Some gamers have used the outage to go outside and touch grass.
Servers are down so I did something unheard of
