Sony's PlayStation Network is experiencing a widespread and apparently global problem. On the PlayStation Network status page, all services except PlayStation Video are marked as having issues.
Tens of thousands of users are reporting problems with the PlayStation Network, as shown by the website DownDetector, which shows which services are experiencing interruptions. In addition, Call of Duty, Apex Legends and Rocket League, many other titles are registering complaints about the interruption of game servers, preventing users from playing their favorite games.
As was to be expected, Twitter, the escape valve of planet earth, records hundreds of messages in several languages, showing that even in Japan the PSN was offline.

— MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM BATTLE OPERATION 2 (@GBO2EN) February 11, 2021Aside from PSN, until minutes ago it was impossible to play any title on PlayStation Now. Despite having a record of global decline, strangely some titles and users continued to play their favorite games. This leads us to question whether the problem was with specific games or with servers located in a certain location that for some reason went offline.
By the time I finish this post, the services have already started working again, but in the last few hours, there have been reports of returns and PSN drops, making it impossible for users to continue playing, simply being disconnected from their games. We keep watching the PSN status and any news, we will update you here.
