PlayStation Network is down for many

Sony is planning maintenance on PlayStation Network for next week, but its online gaming service needs some help right now.

PSN is down for many, according to scores of complaints on social media. PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 owners are reporting difficulty signing into the service to launch their games and some media apps. This means that players cannot boot up multiplayer shooters like Overwatch, but the outage is also affecting primarily single-player experiences that require a constant connection to a server.
