PSA: Sony Acknowledges Some PSN Users Experiencing Connection Problems
If you woke up this morning hoping to get some game time in before school or work, you may have run into a problem. PlayStation Network is currently experiencing problems affecting some users.
Sony acknowledged the issue at approximately 1:30 Eastern this morning via Twitter. “We're aware that some players are seeing drops on PSN,” the company says. Engineers are on the case and investigating.” Sony's PlayStation support page indicates that the service is experiencing "heavy network traffic."
As recently as the time of publication, Sony’s AskPlayStation Twitter account is responding to users that the problems are ongoing. We’ll update as we know more.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
