The Sony PlayStation Network, or PSN, suffered a worldwide outage that took place at 4 PM PST/7 PM EST on February 7 or 8, 2025 (depending on your region). With the server down, players around the world faced difficulties logging in and launching games. This has affected multiple platforms, including PS5, PS4, and even PS3. Sony did react to the issue and has informed about looking into the matter.
In this article, we'll look into the PlayStation Network outage and discuss when the server could be back up.
Are PSN servers still down on PS5?
As of now, the PSN outage has not been fixed, and the server is still not back. The most reliable way to determine if the server is experiencing problems is to check the official PlayStation Network status page. It provides real-time updates on the status of various PSN services, including account management, gaming, PlayStation Store, and more.
Currently, the disruption has been acknowledged by Sony, and they have stated that they are working to resolve the problem but have not yet provided a specific timeline for when services will be fully restored.
Predicting the exact time when PlayStation Network will be back online during an unexpected outage is challenging. Sony typically avoids giving precise times until they have a clear understanding of the problem and a solution in place. So we do not know for sure when it will be back on.
A similar outage occurred back in October of last year, which lasted around seven hours. It has already been over seven hours, meaning the server could take way longer to return online this time.
