PSN Down for Unscheduled Maintenance This August 31, 2021 (Update #2)

PSN Down

It seems the PlayStation Network is down, as multiple PSN down reports have surfaced in the past few minutes on Reddit. Some are reporting that the netowrk is showing a maintenance message, and there is no scheduled one so far.,

PSN Down August 31 Reports:

Update #2 (8/31/21 at 6:46PM ET): Sony’s PSN status page says that “all services are up and running.” We can confirm it’s working again! Game on!

Update (8/31/21 at 6:40 ET): PSN is still down for the majority of gamers in the US. It seems Amazone servers have taken a hit, which could somehow be tied to this downtime. We’ll update the post as more info surfaces. Sony has not commented on the server outages until now.

We can confirm that the PlayStation Network is not working for some in the US, UK, Canada, while others in Asia are stating it’s working for them currently.

The official Status page for PlayStation shows that services are having issues:

Over on Reddit, multiple people have said that PSN is not working for them either.

Psn is down for maintenance from PS4

Unfortunately, the official Ask PlayStation Twitter page has not acknowledged the downtime just yet. Hopefully, Sony is aware of this and working to bring the servers back up ASAP.

We are monitoring the situation and wiill update the post as more news surfaces. You can check back throughout the day to see the updates, as we’ll be marking them with the date and time, and even the update number.

If PSN is working for you, share where you’re from so we know which region/countries the service is working.

What happens when you try to out do xbox and get overwhelmed. You mess everything else up. Good job Sony! Dunce cap award goes to… just let us have our same accounts on multiple consoles… imagine having a ps4 and a ps5 at the same time..

Strange..my ps4 went down, yet my kids who live in the same city as me is still up and running. We are in Phoenix, AZ.

How can it happen in the same city with two different outcomes?

The PSN is down most likely because they’re shutting down PlayStation Video today. They announced months ago it would be shutting down on August 31st, 2021

PSN down in Spokane, WA. Playstation customer service is too busy to answer their phones too. WTH, is going on? Completely frustrated, all I wanted to do was play my online game and I can’t, there’s no explanation anywhere. Hope it’s fixed soon.

“If PSN is working for you, share where you’re from so we know which region/countries the service is working.” It makes no sense, as mine doesn’t work and my kids are working, and we live in same house UK Nottingham

I’m in South Carolina, and mines ain’t working either but my brother lives a mile down the road and he’s on and playing right now. so there’s more than where you are from issue right now. i can’t play anything and it’s saying i need to activate my account as primary but it won’t let me and i can’t watch anything either, my PlayStation can’t play anything, so i hope this gets fix soon and I’m a very patient person but I’m a little annoyed by the Unprofessional work that cause this today.
