PlayStation Network down Jan 4 and undergoing maintenance

Thousands of PS4 gamers are not very happy at the moment because PlayStation Network is down and undergoing maintenance. The problem seems to surround Sony not giving out any warnings as to why they decided to do it; some are saying it could be because they were hacked.

PlayStation network is currently undergoing maintenance and it is causing a lot of confusion because this was not scheduled. As far as we can see it only seems to be affecting PS4 users, one said they were happily playing then got booted but when they tried to login it said ‘undergoing maintenance’.

It seems to be a global issue as many have reported being down in Scotland, Netherlands, Alaska, Georgia and many other locations. If you visit Down Today you will see many comments coming in, one PS4 users said they are undergoing maintenance but his brothers PS4 is ok and not.

We have no reason as to why they have decided to do maintenance today on January 4, 2016, it was not scheduled and no hacks seem to have taken place. We have checked both Lizard and Phantom Squad Twitter accounts and they have said nothing.

Is your PlayStation undergoing maintenance right now?

    Still undergoing maintenance here, and as if the network being down wasn’t bad enough I’m getting random freezes on any of my games that don’t require psn access but DO have online features (e-store and achievements on AC Syndicate for example) This was not something I was experiencing until the network went down.

    • Jeff Runge

      Just about every game runs off of Internet, so most offline games still require auto save and other online networking to occur why it’s freezing 👌

  • adam

    anyone else jerk off alot now without psn 😉

  • Brandon Lawson

    I didn’t get a ps4 to just stare at the screen saying undergoing maintenance. Its been on and off all day today
