PSN Is Intermittently Down And Might Prevent Some Games From Launching
If you're having trouble launching some online-connected PS4 games today, you're not the only one. Sony's network outage page indicates that some games and social apps are experiencing some issues.
"You may have some difficulty launching games, applications, or online features," the status page reads. "Our engineers are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible, and we thank you for your patience."
The problems are intermittent, but we tried launching a digital copy of Destiny 2 and were met with an error. The PlayStation Twitter acknowledged the problem but offered no details.
We're aware that users are having issues accessing some features on PSN. Thanks for your patience as we investigate.

It does seem like Fortnite is not among the games affected, but with the launch of season five today, the game is having its own server problems separate from PSN's issues.
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.
