The PlayStation Network went down yesterday at about 10:20am and 24 hours later, it’s now fully back online with PlayStation tweeting out that it is now fully restored.
Whilst there’s no explanation for why it went down (and no compensation), PlayStation apologised for the inconvenience online with the below tweet:
“PSN has been restored. You should be able to access online features without any problems now. For more details: status.playstation.com Sorry for the inconvenience!”

That was almost certainly the longest outage of PlayStation Network since 2011 when the PlayStation Network was out for 21 days after an attack. Whilst this was nowhere near that, it certainly was a bad time for it to be out with a massive Monster Hunter Wilds beta happening over the weekend.
Down Detector shows a pretty consistent stream of complaints across the 24 hours with those unable to launch their digital games and even some (minor) complaints of PS5 Pro owners not being able to connect their disc drives.
