The company acknowledged users' complaints in a new tweet, and assured them that it was working on a fix. Meanwhile, going over to the network service status page for the PlayStation Network shows both the account management, and gaming and social services, to be experiencing outages. The first would explain why users are unable to log into their PSN accounts.
"You may have some difficulty launching games, applications, or online features. Our engineers are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible, and we thank you for your patience," states the service status page regarding the latter.
