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.

  • Cant access the 4 games pick 1 site to redeem my code.

  • I still can’t sign in into my ps4

  • This is becoming ridiculous. 4 days now without online access? I can understand the first day and maybe the second day, but 4 days is too much considering Microsoft was up and running the very next day. Sony needs to hire better staff to fix these problems as well as do something for us paying customers who are losing access to a service that we are paying for.

  • Hi, i’m still having a hard time trying to log in and it says the server code still after i did everything you guys said so what shall i do?

  • I read that the “network” is back up…. great. However, I have no luck using the “Four Games Pick One” redeem features on the awesome network here. Anyone have any idea bout this? Also, I notice that some of the support pages are still not loading… live chat is giving an error code. I have an 11 year old kid who has been waiting patiently since Christmas morning… what to do.

  • its 28th dec and i still can log in on PSN on my PS4 its getting on my nerves now, yet my nephew is able to log into his on his PS4 how does that work!!

  • GUYS THIS IS HOW YOU GET ONLINE ON PS4 THX ME AFTER If your PSN is still down, follow these steps:
    Boot up your PlayStation 4.
    Go to “settings.”
    Go to “network.”
    Select “custom.”
    In this menu, leave everything as default except MTU.
    Change MTU settings to “1473.”
    Save your changes.
    Reboot your PS4.

  • I still can not get on psn … always says lost connection to servers

  • We
    should call the LizardSquad and ask for help…..LOL

  • Sony I’m still not able to get online don’t get frustrated and mess anything up.

  • Chiefdog 11. Thank u. Was able to restore licenses after changing the mtu to custom. Hope this helps someone else

  • So it’s was restored yesterday yet my network is still down after power cycling both my devices and following all you silly standard responses

  • I still can’t log on. New ps4 for Christmas and no psn I’m going nuts.

  • Also that’s a waist of ps plus for 4 days??????

  • I followed the suggestion to change mtu to 1473 and it worked

  • Still cannot sign in on the ps4, is there any update

  • The great PSN is back Online? Sweet! TLOU Remastered Factions here I go!

  • my ps3 is saying that sony entertainment network timed out what dose that mean

  • I still cant play 5 days for me… IT wouldnt let me even conect on this web page it just doesnt allows me to conect to my PSN account at all im very very frustrated by now… I HAD AN XBOX AND IT WORKED I CHANGED TO THIS? so I couldnt log in at all while everything in my house is conected all right? cant even contact SUPPORT cuz guess what? I CANT LOG IN TO PSN ON ANY DEVICE ITS LIKE IF YOU GUYS BLOCKED IT ON PURPOSE

  • Not that anyone’s even reading this at this point. It’s Sunday the 28th. And still there is no service. We as a family own multiple systems in current and previous generations, I remained vigilant when hackers took down the psn for a much lengthier period of time a few years ago. I still don’t have service in Canada BC Kelowna from this last attack yet I can log into the ps ap and see all my friends playing happily together . I have taken 9 days off work and wasted my vacation days hoping I could play some games. We pay monthly and yearly for this service. Your excuses are a moot point. You have cost us time and money. I have spent thousands of $$$ on the psn. I want solid compensation or I walk.

  • Ok…so logged on with MTU changes but none of our new games will work online because they need updates and the updates are not loading. This is just stupid crazy. *sigh*

  • Please help me playstaion I went to settings and signed out and tried to sign back in but it says that I cannot to the server even though my Internet is wired

  • My PSN account still ain’t working ?

  • changed the mtu settings now it tells me I need to change some privacy settings it starts letting me do that and then looses connection with the server

  • Seriously how long is this gonna take lots of people have paid subsciptions and its already been 3 days why is xbox back on line and playstation still off i hope there will be some kind of compensation for this because i changed from xbox to playstation i really hope it was worth it.

  • My brand new PS4 still wont connect to PSN. But I have noticed the maintenance screen on the PSN website is not there anymore. I don’t know if that is a sign of improvement or what. I’m not angry at PlayStation i’m sure they’re dong their best but it would be nice if my PS4 would connect online sometime real soon.

  • Love to say it’s fixed but not fully. Like others I am still not able to log on via ps4. Tried all the tweaks like power cycling etc and MTU change to 1473 with little success. Never been able to logon fully with ps4 yet (received as present this week). Will keep looking and trying. Like so many others lost a great long weekend of playing new things. Won’t see that kind of time for a while. Not happy with the hackers and not happy with Sony for not pushing through all weekend 24/7 until really fully operational

  • PSN STILL DOWN ON MY PS4 .BUT NOT ON MY PS3 .WHAT HAPPEN ?

  • I got in with the MTU modification but….
    LOL… I just tried to use a PlayStation Plus Code and it says that is NOT VALID… WTF??? It says that it is valid up to 3/31/2015 to Redeem…

    So did LS also stole Codes or what??? Im not paying $17.99 again …

  • Four days without PSN will be stop using my Playstation

  • It keeps saying ” the connection to the server has been terminated

  • So PS4 survive is now back online however, I can still not claim my free game from the 4 games 1 pick bundle because the site is still “under maintenance” how long should I expect to wait for that to be fully operational again?

  • still cant sign in now its 425 pm on sunday wow thts ridiculous

  • This is absurd… you would think as much money as we spend on your products you would be able to have this up and going… 3 days and nothing… I still can’t log in… my “state of the art” gaming system is effectively a big plastic paperweight… kinda crappy if you ask me

  • Yyyaaa 4:27pm Ontario, Canada here; still cant connect to PSN on my PS4…. HELP.

  • 4:25pm eastern and still down. I have been trying to be very understanding and patient but as many psn friends are enjoying their system I am still without. Please give me some sort of ETA of when I will be up and running or something!

  • Hey Sony, this combined with your “sale prices”, and constant remastered editions when we know ps4 is capable of backwards compatibility. You might as well just hand all your users over to steam. I mean do you even pay attention to the industry you do business in. Look up steam sale and humble bundle. Try competing.

  • I M GETTING ANGRY .I M CANT LOGG IN TO MY PS4 . I PAID FOR SUBSCRIPTION FOR NOTHING

  • How come i still can’t get online???? do i have to update something or just wait???????????????????????

  • I am located in Arkansas and I am still unable to log in to PSN… I do not understand how servers work, but people on the east coast can log on and my buddies in Oklahoma can log on I am just wondering why I still can’t get on. Really craving some destiny time. After 5 days of waiting im more than ready to get back online.

  • I’m trying to use my psn plus account from my ps3 to my new ps4 and is not working.
    It says sony sent me an e-mail but I don’t have any e-mail from you and I tried with the resend button but is not working either.
