The PlayStation Network is back online after being down for nearly 20 hours. Now, shortly after service was fully restored, PlayStation has issued a (very) brief update on the status of the network via social media.
“PSN has been restored,” the post said. “You should be able to access online features without any problems now.
“Sorry for the inconvenience!”
The company also pointed people to the official PlayStation Network status page where it lists all services as currently functioning.

Aside from the apology, nothing else has been said by PlayStation. There has been no mention of what caused the outage in the first place. In fact, it was the first official statement from Sony since they made a post on Friday night stating that it was “aware some users” were having problems. In between the post acknowledging the problem and the service being restored, the only other thing PlayStation posted was how to add M.2 storage to the console.
PlayStation Network originally went down on Friday night around 6pm ET. The outage impacted users across the globe, taking down the ability to sign in, play online, and even access the PlayStation Store.
GPlayr has reached out to PlayStation in an attempt to get an update as to what caused the PlayStation Network to go offline this weekend. Should a response be received—or an more in-depth statement be made in an official capacity—it will be added to this story.
