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.

  • Still no network!!!

  • Still can’t sign in so your not back up plus today’s my birthday so I’m hoping

  • SONY IS TOO BUSY COUNTING ALL THEIR MONEY TO READ THIS

  • even though that you guys have said the PSN server is back online I still haven’t been able to sign in. Can you guys help resolve this problem?

  • @ brat_bros Yes. I can not sign in East coast. #hailLIZARDSQUAD

  • Still can’t sign in. Please fix it. We all just want to play our new games before Christmas Break is over.

  • I WONDER IF THEY SENSOR THIS TOO?
    NW-31194-8 or CE-33992-6

  • In fact, to make it easier, just go into Network setup, Click Custom, then just keep clicking till you get to MTU, and choose Custom, then enter a new number between 1477 and 576.

  • Trying to sign in on ps4 and all am getting is The connection to the server has been terminated (NW -31194-8). What does this mean as it’s driving me mad?

  • So is it fixed now, or should my PS4 not being able to sign in still be considered a problem with the network?

  • still not working

  • Come on Sony. How many times does one have to bump his head before he realises that he should be learning from his mistakes?!?
    My 4 year old brother came up with a suggestion……..maybe invest in a sign to warn you when you are about to bump your head!!!
    Simple isn’t it. Next time when you have trouble give me a call and I will ask my intelligent 4 year old brother to help. No Problem!!!

  • We must keep the pressure on SONY for THEIR fail. @Bobbo Yes it is their fault at SONY. Their job is to protect user information and secure the networks. Also to build a secure network in the first place.

  • will the people that cant go online but have payed 2xget some think back sony really not happy

  • @+ flammey YOUR WRONG and are adding to their BS story

  • I’m still not able to get online??

  • its back down again aint it? cany sign in to it

  • 1. Go to settings.
    2. Go to Network.
    3. Set up Internet Connection.
    4. Choose wifi or LAN, whatever you use.
    5. Choose CUSTOM.
    6. IP Address – Automatic
    7. DCHP – Do Not Specify
    8. DNS – Automatic
    9. MTU Settings – MANUAL
    10. It will be set to 1500 BY DEFAULT. Click that, change it to 1450 or 1473. Press R2.
    11. Click Next.
    12. Proxy – Do Not Use
    Done!
    again…..
    Re start PS4
    I HELPED ALOT OF PEOPLE LAST NIGHT ON HERE!

  • The MTU setting change des nothing for me. FYI.

  • this is some BS i have tried everything from the suggested action all the way to changing the mtu and still cant sign in to psn. sony needs to compensating people for this. i spent way to much money on this console not to play.

  • #hailLIZARDSQUAD

  • Been 6 days …..cant sign in……..

  • my ps4 is still down i get error code eevery time i try to log in and i havent even been online since xmas :( my code is (NW-31194-8)

  • CE-33992-6, NW-31194-8 Are Sony Errors, Not the MILLIONS of users networks. Sony is Not an American Company

  • im going to go trade this in for an xbox.

  • @MakaiOokami, Careful, Icarus

  • I GOT DDOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was playing league play on black ops 2 and I got kicked offline. Took me 1hr to get my router back up! 1 HR!!!!! And gues what his name was… I_Booting_U

  • everyones personal advice on changing settings is appreciated, however, I choose to not attempt this route as Sony has not given instructions to its users to do this. Will it work?, do not know, but it could also cause system failures down the road or even security issues with hackers. For Sony to allow people to input fixes in its blogs is ultimately suggesting they approve of these methods. I personally am going down to the court house in my county and filing a small claims lawsuit against Sony for the cost of the system and Plus Memberships, along with penalties for mental anguish. They will have to send a lawyer to my County in my state to defend the action, or not show up and I win the case. Either way I win. I suggest you folks all do the same. This could have all been alleviated if they provided true support, but they don’t.

  • CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, OR RATHER A MILLION INDIVIDUAL LAWSUITS…. ANY LAWYERS?

  • @Suboin
    Careful, Icarus

  • Well I still cant login , tried last night and just now , getting (NW-31194-8) ERROR GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

  • Mine still not loggin in,its starting to **** me off now i know it wasnt your fault but it wasnt microsofts fault either,but thats been up for days now.But your still happy with taking my money each year even though you provide a **** service.Think i might just go to xbox

  • Ok so does anybody wanna tell me why psn is up for my ps3 but when i get on the ps4 it wont work? I mean i paid $400 plus an xbox just to get this and i cant play online now… I was hoping that i didn’t have to play my ps3 but now i have to. Thanks for taking my money for nothing sony… thanks aloooot

  • set everything to automatic & MTU 1473 no proxy server & skip connection test & go straight to PSN sign in & it worked for me

  • SONY why do you lie? You are NOT back online. Please pay attention to those who pay your salary.

  • DID ANYONE CHANGE THEIR NETWORK SETTINGS TO CAUSE THIS ISSUE??? DO NOT LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE TELLING YOU TO CHAnge something. DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO FIX THIS.

  • I couldn’t sign in for the last 4 days but this morning I tried the MTU change and I finally got through. I’m now having to wait 3 hours for an update to Destiny – the only game I own at the moment!!!

  • PSN: OFFLINE. SONY: LIARS .#hailLIZARDSQUAD

  • It’s work changing MTU

  • SONY LIES….IT IS NOT ONLINE….AND NO SUPPORT FOR YOU

  • MTU change doesn’t work.

  • worked for me
    tried witjh defauilt setting & coudnt sign in to PSN

  • What codes did you use

  • MTU MEANS “MUFF THE USER” DID YOU CHANGE ANYTHING TO CAUSE THIS???

  • I am really disappointed, because of the fall of the service I could not even play offline, it’s a shame I can not use my digital games (all of them) I pay for every game and I have no licenses to use them? How can it be? hope you change this policy that is really absurd. I understand that every now and then for some reason the system get affected but not be able to use my games offline is too much.

  • Still can’t login on my ps4! When is Catherine Jensen actually going to change her statement from the 27th that the network is back online? Also isn’t it about time Sony actually told the truth about when there likely to be up and running and apologise for the poor communication and service!
