7:00 PM

The PlayStation Network is back online. If there are still problems, it’s best to restart your console once, then your PS4 or PS5 will log in again. That can actually work wonders.

We will keep an eye on our ticker and on the reports, should anything happen and will provide an update if necessary. Ideally, you can now go into the evening without any problems and start gaming.

6:54 PM

The PlayStation Network seems to be working again! Reports are decreasing significantly and colleagues report that login and the shop are functioning again.

Feel free to test it yourself on your PS4 or PS5 to see if you can get back in.

6:50 PM

Currently, there are no real changes. On the official status page of PlayStation problems continue to be displayed. There are still issues with the shop, online gaming, and PS Plus. Reports on Allestörungen continue to fluctuate between 3,400 and 3,500.

We will keep you updated.

6:40 PM

The whole situation is really annoying and players are expressing their frustration on Reddit: People are off work, want to start gaming, and are facing server problems now.

Accordingly, the announcement from Sony a few days ago looked quite unfortunate, that the disc for PlayStation will be discontinued: If the online servers do not work, in the most annoying case, purchased games won’t work either.

There are still issues with the shop, online gaming, and PS Plus. Offline games and downloads should still be working.

Overall, it’s quite annoying when you want to enjoy your Friday evening. We will continue to keep you updated.

The reports continue to rise (3,800). Otherwise, there is no change: Problems persist on PlayStation consoles.

6:10 PM

The reports are slightly rising again (3,700). Otherwise, there is no change: Problems persist on PlayStation consoles.

If you only want to browse the shop: It works in the browser without any problems.

6:00 PM

It’s now 6 PM, the problems have been ongoing for at least 4-5 hours; according to Allestörungen, the first reports came in around 1 PM.

The problems persist, and there is still no official statement from Sony. On the official PlayStation account on X.com, they are still actively promoting GTA 6, but there is still no official statement regarding the problems. Or we haven’t seen one.

Fortnite is also affected by the server problems

Thousands of reports are still coming in on Allestörungen: We are currently “only” between 3,400 and 3,500 reports.

However, we are still having trouble logging in. On the official status page of PlayStation, problems continue to be displayed.

We will keep you updated if there is any improvement.

An update: On Allestörungen the reports are currently stagnating at about 3,700, which is still significantly higher than normal. On the official status page of PlayStation, problems are also displayed.

On the PS5, the servers still do not like us. The shop and PS Plus do not work for us, but downloads should work. You should also be able to install updates if your console determines that an update for a game is available.

We are still having problems on our PS5. According to Allestörungen, there are still thousands of reports. On the official status page of PlayStation, problems are also displayed. However, we do not fully trust Sony’s site, as it displayed incorrect information for 2 hours.

Offline games and disc games still work flawlessly, and downloads also seem to work. At least Sony plans to abolish the disc for PlayStation soon, which is not exactly a good sign given the current server problems.

5:10 PM

We are still having problems on our PS5. The shop is having hiccups, but the login to online games is still not working, and PS Plus is also not working.

Reports on Allestörungen are currently stagnating at around 3,800, after being above 4,000 until about 4:30 PM.

So far, there has not been an official statement from Sony regarding exactly what the problem is. Let’s hope for the best that we can log in again soon.

We will keep you updated.

5:00 PM

In February 2025, the PSN was last down for an entire day. At least Sony offered 5 days of PS Plus as compensation. Let’s hope the problems don’t last for another whole day this time.

4:50 PM

It remains true: The shop is poorly accessible, PS Plus also doesn’t work for us, but downloads of games continue to function according to colleagues.

At least: Reports on Allestörungen are currently decreasing significantly. They were previously around 4,400, and now we are “only” down to 3,700 reports.

We will keep you updated.

4:40 PM

Sony/PlayStation has also realized that the servers are not reachable and that there are problems. Because now, the official status page of PlayStation also displays the problems. Sony writes:

“You may have difficulty downloading products from the PlayStation Store. We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience.”

It remains true: The shop is poorly accessible, PS Plus also doesn’t work for us, but downloads of games continue to function according to colleagues.
