It looks a though the PlayStation Network looks to be having problems in Australia. As of 6pm AEST reports of outages surged on DownDetector.
Currently, the PlayStation Services website says that there are no issues which is a bit odd, and means that it could likely be restricted to Australia (or it’s just a bit slow to update).
Several users had also tweeted us saying that they were having issues:
@shancake_ Hey Shan, are you aware of any PSN issues at the moment? PS5 says it’s connected but status is ‘Offline’ and can’t access trophies or online settings…
