They urged players to be patient as the company worked to resolve the issue. According to PlayStation, the outage will affect the PS Vita, PS3, PS4, PS5, and the Web platforms. However, despite the assurance, there has been no time frame for a fix to be rolled out.
While the situation continues, there are no official reports of what caused the global outage. The situation resulted in players from around the world continuing to post status reports online. Players from the US, UK, China, Germany, Japan, and Spain have taken their frustrations online, many tagging the posts with photos of the error messages. The situation matched what occurred during the July PSN outage when the issue was fixed, and services returned to normal on the same day.
