Is the PlayStation Network Down? Thousands Report Connection and Login Issues

On July 24, thousands of Users reported widespread issues accessing PlayStation Network, with many experiencing difficulty signing in and connecting to online services.
Despite Sony reporting that all services were "up and running," a Heatmap from Downdetector showed a huge concentration of Users in London reporting connectivity issues.
Downdetector reports dipped to around 4,500 by 2.20pm before shooting up to 6,300 at 3pm. One User wrote: "Can't load any digital games at all bought or free. Can't connect to servers to verify licences."
Players trying to hop into the Marvel Tokon open beta received a "server busy" message. Since Sony has not officially acknowledged a widespread outage, many Users remain unable to connect to PSN features.
From January 2028, new PlayStation games will only be available via the PlayStation Store and at retailers in "digital formats," Sony announced. This shift positions the company toward digital-only distribution.
