After experiencing the chaos of today’s Verizon outage, many people may just want to go home, crash on the couch, and fire up their PlayStation. Unfortunately, a second outage seems likely to derail those plans, with numerous reports of PlayStation Network also experiencing outages.
Verizon outage now fixed
According to crowdsourced tracker DownDetector, reports of PlayStation network outages started coming in around 8:30 PM ET / 5:30 PM PDT. About an hour ago, Verizon announced that its massive blackout had been resolved. The problem also appears to be global, with outages reported across the globe.
PlayStation’s network service status page confirmed the outage, noting that “some services are experiencing issues.” Such issues may include difficulty logging into your PlayStation account, launching games, accessing PlayStation Video content, or making purchases in the PlayStation Store. Pretty much anything you want to do on PlayStation can be done.
