PlayStation Network Update

UPDATE: PlayStation Network is back online. As you probably know, PlayStation Network and some other gaming services were attacked over the holidays with artificially high levels of traffic designed to disrupt connectivity and online gameplay. This may have prevented your access to the network and its services over the last few days.

Thanks again for your support and patience. We’ll provide any further updates here.

***

The video game industry has been experiencing high levels of traffic designed to disrupt connectivity and online gameplay. Multiple networks, including PSN, have been affected over the last 48 hours. PSN engineers are working hard to restore full network access and online gameplay as quickly as possible.

From time to time there may be disruptions in service due to surges in traffic, but our engineers will be working to restore service as quickly as possible.

If you received a PlayStation console over the holidays and have been unable to log onto the network, know that this problem is temporary and is not caused by your game console. We’ll continue to keep you posted on Twitter at @AskPlayStation and we’ll update this post once the problems subside.

Thanks again for your patience.

  • Games I bought when I was able to get on are locked and say I no longer own them… Hope the network is better soon.

  • psn for the ps4 still down in asian region > hong kong , singapore , malaysia and so on any solution or updates on this region ? T_T miss the xur store

  • + SuperSaiyan_Goku Thank you very much, i really appreciate your advice and your efforts.

  • So i think the dns/mtu fix just helps ps4. My ps3 is still screwed. Shoulda got a ps4 or really guess i should have defected to Microsoft. Then i could listen to music while i play too and watch tv and all that other crap.

  • When can i log back online it still won’t let me!!!! You guys suck how many times you gonna get hacked

  • My system won’t let me connect to the network it was working earlier but now it’s not smh sony

  • This is ridiculous, I’ve had it.

  • Hope you guys get it fully restored look foreward to being able to log in on my ps4 and play desteny

  • I still can’t log on. All my mates can but i still can’t. This is crap..

  • Still not working for me, I have rebooted all of my hardware several times. NW-31194-8 error

  • I still can not get online on my ps4 and everyone is saying that they can.

  • One thing i dont get as well is how they have the streaming apps dependant on the psn. What the hell? Really? I dont even pay you for it but i cant use it because YOUR network is flawed? Looks like no Fairy Tale for me.

  • People I know keep telling me that they read articles online that say PSN is back online. So again, I try to log on and fail to connect. Why would they release articles claiming the issues are fixed when they’re not? Does the majority of PSN users have serviceand because most do they consider it “fixed”?

  • I’m back online follow the instructions from SSG

  • I`am connected but have no way to receive my bundle code. Your site for that is still down for maintenance so i have no games to play.Help?

  • Help i am still facing problems signing in my ps4

  • Thanks, Supersaiyan_Goku!! that actually worked!!!!

  • Funny how I can connect with ps3 and vita but not with either of our two ps4s. The ps4 online playband perks etc require paid plus subscription while ps3 and vita don’t

  • I have not been able to do anything since this whole thing started. I still can’t do anything. It is like I am wasting the online games that I bought for the PS4 instead of the xbox.

  • Is this problem fix yet ?

  • Back in action follow SSG steps on this blog

  • when will the 4 games pick 1 be up. I really want to play destiny! :( pls fix it guys

  • My new PS4 still wont let me log into PSN.

  • I picked up my PS 4 console on 12/19/2014, and I’ve been trying to download the Four Games One Pick to no avail…what’s going to happen about this digital download? everytime I try to download the site says down for maintenance.

  • I should buy the Xbox1 instead of the PS4

  • I don’t want to change my connections for my ps4 to log on. I want it to log on how it’s supposed to. lol

  • How did this happen to the network?

  • @swissmer It was a DDOS attack, the hackers didn’t get any information they just plugged up the network with other traffic. It is more of a greifing hack than a actual theft. Your information is safe i promise.

  • I just want to call attention to the “4 games 1 pick” promotion. It’s down, and I’d really like to download Destiny before school starts back. I realize you’re working on it, but it’s been nearly four days, and I am growing more and more impatient as each and every hopeful day grows old.

  • Thank you super saying that shy works

  • I went back today trying to return the PS4 and the only reason I didn’t do it is because they run out I was trying to get the Xbox1

  • Everyone, its a traffic problem. There is a massive influx of traffic right now on the Playstation Network servers, and some could still be from the DDOS attack (which is an attack where they flood a server with millions of requests per second causing the servers to get shut down). Just have patients, its gonna be a few days before things start calming down.

  • Still, I can’t login. I’m so frustrated and disappointed.

  • still cannot log in on my ps4 please fix the issue

  • My PSN is still down, I’ve been trying all day today, only got access to apps (netflixs and such) but cannot play any games, is this localized (isolated??) Xbox Live is up and running, Why such a delay with PSN?

  • Thanks dude

    Follow the instructions it really work for me

  • I tried what tried everything and it keeps sending me this (NW-31456-9)

  • My ps4 still isn’t working. It’s not letting me connect to psn. I can’t play downloaded or some of my disc based titles. Can someone help me?

  • Ik me to

  • I still can’t access online. Is it back up or is it still down??? I say prosecute those sons of *****es. Im sure if anything you can hang them on some sort of harassment charge. That’s what it is. Harassment is any unwanted attention. This is the definition of that. For Christs sake, press charges, and get us back online. WTF!!!!!!

  • SONY IM GETTING FRUSTRATED IM BEEN WAITING TO LONG GET A PS4 JUST FOR IT TO MESS UP

  • i made my account today… which my ps4 let me do…. but it wont let me online… wht can i do… is psn back up?

  • still wont let me sign on to my acct on my ps4?

  • You guys honestly deserved to get DDos’d lizard quad warned you and you did nothing to prevent it and if you cannot even prevent a simple DDos attack then you really shouldnt be up and running. I pay you $50 a year to play online and I expect your servers to not shut down. If you saw XBL being attacked what made you think you were not next and why did you not prepare for it? Honestly sony needs to hire people who went to jail for hacking to prevent such attacks because the people you hire to prevent attacks have obviously no skills. It is just like when 4chan took down the PSN for months and cost you billions because you tried to destroy a mans life for rooting his console that he bought and paid for. Honestly sony you need to get your S*** together.

  • My **** still don’t work damn
