PLAYSTATION NETWORK DOWN—HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW Friday night gaming plans? Not happening. PSN has been down for hours, leaving players unable to connect, buy games, or even manage their accounts. Reports started flooding in around 4:50 PM CT, and it’s only getting worse. Sony hasn’t given an official update yet, but their status page confirms issues across gaming, social features, and the PlayStation Store. No ETA on a fix, but expect a quick turnaround—this is a nightmare for PlayStation. For now, keep checking the PSN status page. And maybe dust off a single-player game. Source: MeriStation
