Are PSN servers online on PS5?

Yes, the PlayStation Network servers are back online on PS5. 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.

The PSN servers went down at around 4 pm PST and stayed offline for over 21 hours. A similar outage occurred back in October of last year, which lasted around seven hours, however, this downtime was a more significant one.

After almost an entire day of server downtime, where PS5 players were unable to access their library of games, Sony shared the update of the fix, by stating,

PSN has been restored. You should be able to access online features without any problems now.

Considering the unusual duration of the downtime, players were understandably eager to know the reasoning, especially with the concern of hacking, leaving millions of players and their personal details vulnerable. However, Sony is yet to share any reasoning for it, or provide any kind of compensation similar to the 2011 outage.
