Since around 6 PM EST, PSN has been reported to be down for PlayStation users. Unfortunately, there are no details on when services could be restored.

In addition to allowing players to play games online with friends, PSN lets gamers use the digital store, create profiles, and share content. While many PlayStation players enjoy using some or all of these features on a daily basis, many are currently unable to do so.

The service outage also appears to be affecting all platforms, including PS4 and PS5 users.
