ORIGINAL STORY
It’s not just down for you – the PlayStation Network is having a rough day, with no clear end in sight.
Sony has confirmed an off-kilter start to 2016 for its online service, announcing it’s still working to resolve issues that have prevented PlayStation folks from playing online, streaming videos or games, browsing the store, signing into or creating PlayStation Network accounts.
If you want to keep an eye on things as they progress, the official PSN status page (opens in new tab) has a breakdown of which services are stumbling and which have been restored. At the time of writing, they’ve all been tinged with red, the official color for bad things are happening.
We are still working on resolving today’s issues with PSN. Thanks for your continued patience. For current status: https://t.co/cLXo9fGH27January 4, 2016
