Tens of thousands of PlayStation users reported server outages starting Friday night, which appear to be ongoing as of Saturday morning as the company has acknowledged it is aware of the issue, but it’s still unclear what caused the issue or when servers will be back up.

Reports of PlayStation server outages spiked on DownDetector at about 6:30 p.m. EST Friday night and continued throughout the following morning.

PlayStation said in a post on X at 8:46 p.m. EST it is “aware some users might be currently experiencing issues with PSN,” but did not indicate a cause or an estimate of when servers would return.

PlayStation’s post linked to its server status updates webpage, which currently indicates all servers—including PlayStation Video, PlayStation Store and its gaming services—are down.

Forbes has reached out to PlayStation for comment.

Yes. PlayStation’s status updates webpage says servers are still down. Frustrated gamers on social media platforms including Reddit and X say the servers still aren’t back, as Reddit users have made posts every hour lamenting that they still can’t play games. Some gamers told the BBC the outage is inconvenient because this weekend, a beta version of the anticipated game Monster Hunter Wild is available and Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is offering a double XP weekend.

Some popular games available on PlayStation servers that are impacted include Fortnite, Call of Duty, Roblox and Marvel Rivals. Outage reports for all of these games spiked on DownDetector at the same time PlayStation’s servers appeared to go down.
