PSN, PS Store Partially Down Right Now

PSN and PS Store are partially down in a number of regions right now. The problem started occurring early morning on November 21, with players reporting slow loading and network timeout issues.

PSN and PS Store went down in several regions early morning on November 21

I can confirm that at the time of this writing, the PS Store is unable to load properly on both the web and the PS App. I’ve seen reports of the storefront slow loading on the PS5 and PS4 consoles as well.

The partial outage isn’t limited to a particular region. Over on Reddit, players in North America and Europe have reported network problems. I’m based in Asia and am experiencing the same issues.

Downdetector shows a spike in PSN complaints over the last hour, but Sony’s official service status webpage doesn’t show any outage in any of its services. However, the official PlayStation Network status checker is often slow to respond to issues, so rest assured, you’re not the only one unable to purchase games or browse your PS Plus catalog.

We’ll continue to keep an eye on the situation and update our readers when we have more information. Here’s hoping PSN stays put during the prime holiday season!
